Note: Due to the nature of the power steering system,
the steering wheel will not return to its original position
after a turn has been completed.
Important: Never stop on a green with the cutting
unit reels operating as damage to the turf may
result. Stopping on a wet green with the machine
may leave marks or indentations from the wheels.
7. If the leak detector alarm sounds while cutting on a
green, immediately raise the cutting units, drive directly
off the green and stop the machine in an area away
from the green. Determine the cause of the alarm and
correct the problem.
8. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer periphery.
Be sure to change the direction of cutting from the
previous mowing.
Note: Always keep weather and turf conditions in
mind and be sure to change the direction of mowing
from the previous cutting.
9. When finished mowing the outer periphery, tap the
raise/lower mow lever rearward to stop the reels, then
drive off the green. When all of the cutting units are
off of the green, raise them.
Note: This will minimize grass clumps left on the
green.
10. Replace the flag.
11. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before
transporting to the next green.
Note: Heavy wet clippings place an undue strain on
the baskets and will add unnecessary weight to the
machine, thereby increasing the load on the engine,
hydraulic system, brakes, etc.
Inspecting and Cleaning after
Mowing
At the completion of the mowing operation, thoroughly wash
the machine with a garden hose without a nozzle so excessive
water pressure will not cause contamination and damage to
the seals and bearings. After cleaning, inspect the machine for
possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components, and the cutting units for sharpness.
Also, lubricate brake shaft assembly with SAE 30 oil or spray
lubricant to deter corrosion and help keep the machine
performing satisfactorily during the next mowing operation.
Transporting the Machine
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.
Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes,
lighting, and marking as required by law. Read all the safety
instructions. Knowing this information could help you, your
family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
WARNING
Driving on the street or roadway without turn
signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow
moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead
to accidents causing personal injury.
Do not drive the machine on a public street or
roadway.
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle and
connect the safety chains.
2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
3. Load the machine onto the trailer or truck.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key, set the parking brake,
and close the fuel valve.
5. Use the metal tie-down loops on the machine to
securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with
straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
