FOREWORD

The Tank Hydrostatic Zero-Turn Commercial Riding Mower provides superb maneuverability,
mid-mount cutting capability for professional landscapers, commercial lawn service compa-
nies, professional turf managers and golf course superintendents. The machine incorporates
many safety features that should be studied by all operators and maintenance personnel
before use. The list of safety precautions should receive particular attention.
This manual presents all of the operating and maintenance instructions necessary to keep
your mower at peak efficiency. If operated and maintained properly, your mower will give
dependable service.
Only thoroughly trained persons should operate and maintain this mower. This
machine can cause serious injury to anyone who misuses it and does not understand
its operation. For their personal safety, all operators and maintenance personnel are
required to read this entire manual before operating the mower.
Hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the design and
configuration of the equipment. Notwithstanding, these factors are also dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of the personnel involved
in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the equipment.
• The engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved
forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a
spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be main-
tained in effective working order by the operator.
• In the State of California, the above is required by law (Section 4442 of the California Public Resources
Code). Other States may have similar laws. Federal laws apply to federal lands. A spark arrester muffler
may be available.
• A person shall not sell, offer for sale, lease, or rent to a person any equipment that is powered by an internal
combustion engine subject to Section 4442 or 4443, and not subject to Section 13005 of Health and Safety
Code, unless that equipment has a permanent writing label attached that is in plain view to the operator that
states, 'WARNING-Operation of This Equipment May Create Sparks That Can Start Fires Around Dry
Vegetation. A Spark Arrestor May be Required. The Operator Should Contact Local Fire Agencies For
Laws or Regulations Relating to Fire Prevention Requirements.'
