•
Before disconnecting from power unit, always lower equipment
to the ground, place controls in neutral, set park brake, turn
engine off, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Relieve hydraulic
pressure per power unit manufacturer's instructions.
•
Ensure mower tongue jack is securely fastened to mower frame
with supplied pin before removing hitch draw pin.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.
Always disengage PTO, engage parking brake, turn engine off,
lower wings to cutting position and relieve hydraulic pressure
before performing any maintenance.
•
Observe and perform proper lock-out procedures for power unit
if attached to mower during service.
•
Keep nuts and bolts tight and properly at the proper torque,
especially blade attachment bolts. Check that all cotter pins are
properly installed. Keep equipment in good condition.
•
Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
•
Never work on raised mower decks without safety locks in place.
•
Periodically check condition of safety devices, guards, and
deflectors. Replace only with manufacturer's recommended
parts.
•
Inspect and replace damaged blades. Use only original OEM
parts. Blades can fail from poor maintenance practices.
•
Handle mower blades carefully. They are sharp and can cut
unprotected skin. Use caution and wear gloves when handling
them.
•
Check to make sure hydraulic hoses are not worn or damaged
and are routed to avoid chafing.
•
Immediately replace any hydraulic hose that shows signs of
swelling, wear, leaks, or damage so it does not burst.
•
Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Use a piece
of cardboard instead. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If skin penetration
occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Relieve all pressure
before disconnecting hoses.
•
Do not bend or strike hydraulic lines, tubes, or hoses, or reinstall
them in a bent or damaged condition.
•
Inspect tires daily for wear or damage. Check tire pressures
weekly with an accurate pressure gauge. Do not inflate tires
beyond 20 psi.
•
Mounting and dismounting tires from rims can be dangerous and
should be performed by trained personnel using correct tools,
equipment, and procedures.
