Before operating the mower, read the owner’s manual carefully. Your Greenfield has been designed to meet stringent safety standards - but we remind you that a mower is a cutting device - used incorrectly, it may cause personal injury or death.

Never store fuel or the fueled machine in an unventilated area or near a source of ignition such as electrical switches or a gas hot water heater. 14. Do not run the engine in a confined space where carbon monoxide and poisonous exhaust fumes can collect. Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, deadly poisonous gas.

Sudden or violent directional changes and/ or wheel spinning must be avoided. For a detailed explanation of the braking systems on this Greenfield FastCut mower, see the section on Braking Systems pg.12.
Mowing on Slopes Exercise extreme caution when operating a ride-on mower on a slope. Slopes are a major cause of tip-over and loss of control accidents involving ride-on mowers. Severe injury or death can occur. On any slope, the differential action must be locked out for best traction and braking i.e. both rear wheels driving. Speed should be reduced on slopes, particularly when changing direction.
Greenfield differentials are fully lubricated and sealed for life at the factory. If in the unlikely event that your differential needs service, it must be returned to Greenfield intact. Differentials that have been tampered with or dismantled will NOT be considered for warranty.
Maintenance Warning: Remove the spark plug lead to avoid accidental starting BEFORE attempting any maintenance or inspection of the mower. Crankcase Lubrication Change the engine oil after the first five (5) hours of operation, then every six (6) months or twenty five (25) working hours, whichever comes first.
• The best way to clean your Greenfield is to use an air hose to blow loose grass, etc. from around pulleys, belts, and the top of the cutter deck. Wash the exterior with a sponge and bucket, then rinse off with a hose and wipe it down the same way as you would a car.
Greenfield FastCut Braking Systems This Greenfield ride-on mower is equipped with a multi-purpose Drive/Brake Control Pedal, operated by the driver’s right foot. It also has an Emergency Brake operated by the left foot and a hand operated Parking Brake. All three systems are completely independent of one another.

Cutter Belt Adjustment Warning: Remove the spark plug lead to avoid accidental starting BEFORE attempting any maintenance or inspection of the mower. The self-adjusting belt tensioner will automatically adjust to compensate for normal wear and stretch of the V belt. However, as most belt stretch occurs during the early operating hours of the new belt, the first adjustment should be checked after approximately five (5) hours of operation with further checks at the fifty (50) hour services.
