Operation

Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.

Before Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Never allow children or untrained people to
operate or service the machine. Local regulations
may restrict the age of the operator. The owner
is responsible for training all operators and
mechanics.
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Know how to stop the machine and shut off the
engine quickly.
•
Check that operator-presence controls, safety
switches, and shields are attached and functioning
properly. Do not operate the machine unless they
are functioning properly.
•
Before mowing, always inspect the machine to
ensure that the blades, blade bolts, and cutting
assemblies are in good working condition.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine
and remove all objects that the machine could
throw.
Fuel Safety
•
Use extreme care in handling fuel. It is flammable
and its vapors are explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank
while the engine is running or hot.
•
Do not add or drain the fuel in an enclosed space.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or other appliance.
•
If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine;
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel
vapors have dissipated.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fuel Tank Capacity
53 L (14 US gallons)
Fuel Specification
Important:
Use only ultra-low sulphur diesel
fuel. Fuel with higher rates of sulfur degrades
the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), which causes
operational problems and shortens the service life
of engine components.
Failure to observe the following cautions may
damage the engine.
•
Never use kerosene or gasoline instead of diesel
fuel.
•
Never mix kerosene or used engine oil with the
diesel fuel.
•
Never keep fuel in containers with zinc plating on
the inside.
•
Do not use fuel additives.
Petroleum Diesel
Cetane rating: 45 or higher
Sulfur content: Ultra-low sulfur (<15 ppm)

•
Use only clean, fresh diesel fuel or biodiesel fuels.
•
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within
180 days to ensure fuel freshness.
Use summer-grade diesel fuel (No. 2-D) at
temperatures above -7°C (20°F) and winter-grade
fuel (No. 1-D or No. 1-D/2-D blend) below that
temperature.
Note:
Use of winter-grade fuel at lower temperatures
provides lower flash point and cold flow characteristics
which eases starting and reduces fuel filter plugging.
Using summer-grade fuel above -7°C (20°F)
contributes toward longer fuel pump life and increased
power compared to winter-grade fuel.
