6.
Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded
dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 degrees.
When going down hill, the extra weight tends to push
the tractor and may cause you to lose control (e.g. tractor
may speed up, braking and steering ability are reduced,
attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to overturn).
7.
Do not turn key off and coast downhill.
Children
1.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
machine and the mowing activity. They do not understand
the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where
you last saw them.
a.
Keep children out of the mowing area and in
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
b.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
c.
To avoid back-over accidents, always look behind
and down for small children.
d.
Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off.
They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere
with safe machine operation.
e.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects that may
block your vision of a child who may run into the
path of the machine.
f.
Remove key when machine is unattended to
prevent unauthorized operation.
2.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this
machine. Children 14 and over should read and understand
the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual
and on the machine and should be trained and supervised
by an adult.
Towing
1.
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
2.
Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
3.
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
4.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction and loss of control.
5.
The maximum weight on the hitch is 50 lbs. and the
maximum towed load is 250 lbs.
6.
Loss of traction can occur on slopes, 5° (9 %) maximum
grade.
7.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
8.
Use caution during turns to avoid jack-knifing.
9.
Use extra caution when operating in reverse.
10.
Do not modify or repair the hitch, replace the hitch if
damaged.
11.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
12.
Do not turn key off and coast downhill.
Service
General Service
1.
Have your tractor serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the ride-on lawn mower is maintained.
2.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
3.
Do not use the charger in the rain.
4.
Replace batteries if battery capacity drops below 50% of
initial capacity
5.
Using old or faulty batteries could cause a system fault that
results in loss of power
6.
Turn off and remove key before servicing, cleaning, or
removing material from the tractor.
7.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped.
8.
Periodically check to make sure the blades come to
complete stop within approximately (5) five seconds after
operating the blade disengagement control. If the blades
do not stop within the this time frame, your machine
should be serviced professionally by an authorized dealer.
9.
Regularly check the safety interlock system for proper
function, as described later in this manual. If the safety
interlock system does not function properly, have your
machine serviced professionally by an authorized dealer.
10.
Check the blade(s) at frequent intervals for proper
tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g.,
excessive wear, bent, cracked). Replace the blade(s) with
the original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) blade(s)
only, listed in this manual. "Use of parts which do not meet
the original equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!"
11.
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves,
and use extra caution when servicing them.
12.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
13.
Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other
safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
14.
After striking a foreign object, stop the tractor. Thoroughly
inspect the machine for any damage. Repair the damage
before starting and operating.
15.
Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the
tractor while it is running.
16.
The discharge cover is subject to wear and damage which
could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
For safety protection, frequently check components
and replace immediately with original equipment
manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual.
Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!
17.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
