1. Safety System This machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions The engine can only be started when e The mower deck is disengaged e The steering controls are in the outer locked neutral position e The parking brake is on Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is not met Change the conditions and try again If the machine starts when one of these conditions is not met turn the machine off and repair the safety system before using the machine again Make sure the engine stops when the park brake is not engaged and the operator leaves the seated position Check that the engine stops if the mower blades are engaged and the driver temporarily moves off the driver s seat Tire Pressures Fill tire pressures to 15 psi 103 kPa 1 bar Parking Brake Visually check that no damage is found on the lever links or switch belonging to the parking brake Perform a standstill test and check that there is sufficient braking action WARNING Faulty adjustment results in reduced braking ability and can cause an accident IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine must be standing still when applying the parking brake 38 8061 032 Conditions for starting IMPORTANT INFORMATION2. 11 Safe Handling of Gasoline 13 General 14 TMPAMS DOF D 16 TOWING cite EUM 16 Spark Arrestor 16 GCONTIROES ER 17 GontrolLiGCations dka nado 17 Motion Control Levers 18 Hour Meter 19 Choke 2 2 2 9 19 Tracking 19 Parking 20 Blade Switch sss 20 Ignition Switch 20 BULL 21 Cutting Height 22 Seat Adjustment Lever 22 Fuel Shut Off Valve 22 E TANK dq 23 Hydro Release Levers 23 OPERATION sse enne 24 24 SEE a a an 24 Before Starting 72222 2 2 2 9 25 Starting the Engine 26 RUNNING per 30 Operating on Hills 31 Stopping the Engine 32 MOWING Greed Roe Tere 33 Moving Machine By 34 2 9 35 Maintenance S
