Slope Safety
•
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and rollover accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope
operation. Operating the machine on any slope
requires extra caution.
•
Evaluate the site conditions to determine if the
slope is safe for machine operation, including
surveying the site. Always use common sense
and good judgment when performing this survey.
•
Review the slope instructions, listed below, for
operating the machine on slopes. Before you
operate the machine, review the site conditions to
determine whether you can operate the machine
in the conditions on that day and at that site.
Changes in the terrain can result in a change in
slope operation for the machine.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on
slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or
direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
•
Do not operate a machine under any conditions
where traction, steering, or stability is in question.
•
Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches,
holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine.
•
Be aware that operating the machine on wet
grass, across slopes, or downhill may cause the
machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of
braking and steering.
•
Use extreme caution when operating the machine
near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water
hazards, or other hazards. The machine could
suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge
or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area
between the machine and any hazard.
•
Identify hazards at the base of the slope.
If there are hazards, mow the slope with a
pedestrian-controlled machine.
•
If possible, keep the cutting units lowered to the
ground while operating on slopes. Raising the
cutting units while operating on slopes can cause
the machine to become unstable.
•
Use extreme caution with grass-collection systems
or other attachments. These can change the
stability of the machine and cause a loss of control.

Breaking in the Machine

Refer to the engine Owner's Manual supplied with the
machine for oil change and maintenance procedures
recommended during the break-in period.
Only 8 hours of operation is required for the break-in
period.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and
performance closely so that minor difficulties, which
could lead to major problems, are noted and can be
corrected. Inspect the machine frequently during
break-in for signs of oil leakage, loose fasteners, or
any other malfunction.

Starting the Engine

Note:
Inspect the areas beneath the cutting units to
ensure that they are clear of debris.
1. If you are starting a cold engine, move the choke
lever to the C
LOSED
2. Insert and rotate the key to the O
3. Wait until the splash screen appears on the
InfoCenter, then move the key to the S
position until the engine starts.
4. Once the engine starts, remove your hand from
the key; the key will automatically move to the
O position.
N
5. Adjust the choke to run the engine smoothly. As
soon as possible, open the choke by pulling it
rearward to the O
Note:
A warm engine requires little or no
choking.
Note:
A fault occurs if the engine cranks longer
than 30 seconds.
Checking the Machine after
Starting the Engine
1. Sit in the operator's seat and fasten the seatbelt.
2. Move the function-control switch to the M
position.
3. Disengage the parking brake.
4. Move the lift/lower joystick forward momentarily.
The cutting units should lower and all the reels
should rotate.
5. Move the lift/lower joystick rearward.
The cutting reels should stop rotating and the
cutting units should raise to the full transport
position.

Shutting Off the Engine

1. Transport the machine to a level surface.
2. Move the function-control switch to the N
position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
