Training Period

Before mowing with the machine, we suggest that you find
a clear area and practice starting and stopping, raising and
lowering cutting units, turning, etc. This training period
will be beneficial to the operator in gaining confidence in
the performance of the machine.

Before Mowing

Inspect the area for debris and clear area if necessary.
Determine the best direction to mow on the previous
mowing direction. Always mow in an alternate pattern
from the previous mowing, so that the grass blades will be
less apt to lay down and therefore be difficult to gather
between the reel blades and bedknife.

Transport Operation

Be sure that the cutting units are in the fully up position,
move the traction pedal stop from under the pedal to allow
full traction pedal travel, and place the throttle control in
the FAST position. While operating on slopes and uneven
terrain, always reduce your speed and use extreme caution
before turning to reduce the risk of tipping or losing
control. Watch carefully for, and avoid, holes in the terrain,
sudden drop-offs, and other hidden hazards. To prevent
costly damage and down time, familiarize yourself with the
width of the machine. Do not attempt to pass between
immovable objects placed close together.
Inspection and Clean-Up After
Mowing
At the completion of the mowing operation, thoroughly
wash the machine with a garden hose—without a
nozzle—so that excessive water pressure will not cause
contamination and damage to the seals and bearings.
Make sure that the radiator screen, radiator, and oil cooler
are kept free of dirt or grass clippings. After cleaning, it is
recommended that the machine be inspected for possible
hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to the hydraulic and
mechanical components, and the cutting units checked for
sharpness and proper reel to bedknife adjustment.
