increase the height of cut. Check that the reels are
not in heavy contact with their bedknives.
Driving the Machine in Transport
Mode
Always disengage the cutting unit drive when travelling
across areas with no grass. Grass lubricates the
cutting edges while mowing. Excessive heat builds up
if the cutting units are run when not mowing, resulting
in rapid wear. For this reason it is also wise to reduce
cutting speed when mowing lightly grassed areas
or when the grass is dry. Be careful when driving
between objects so that you do not accidentally
damage the machine or the cutting units.
Important:
Take care when travelling over
obstacles such as roadside curbs. Always travel
at slow speed over obstacles to prevent damage to
the tires, wheels, and the steering system. Ensure
that the tires are inflated to the recommended
pressure.
Using the Rear Roller Scrapers
Remove the rear roller scrapers where conditions
allow, as optimum grass discharge is achieved without
them. Install the scrapers when conditions are such
that mud and grass start to build up on the rollers.
When installing the scraper wires, ensure that they
are correctly tensioned.
After Operation
General Safety
•
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all movement to stop before you leave the
operator's position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting units,
drives, mufflers, cooling screens, and engine
compartment to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or
fuel spills.
•
Disengage the drive to the attachment whenever
you are hauling or not using the machine.
•
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary.
•
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 on other appliances.
Locating the Jacking Points
Note:
Use jack stands to support the machine when
required.

Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to
support the machine and cause serious injury.
Use jack stands when supporting the

Transporting Machines
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 without signs, lights, and/or
markings required by local regulations.
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Please carefully read all the safety instructions.
Knowing this information could help you or bystanders
avoid injury.
