Operating the Machine

1. Ensure that the parking brake is engaged.
2. Sit on the operator seat, taking care not to
contact the motion pedals as you sit down.
3. Adjust the seat and the steering wheel to a
comfortable operating position.
4. Disengage the parking brake.
5. Hold onto the steering wheel, and slowly press
either the left or right motion pedal with your
corresponding foot, in whichever direction you
wish to move.
Note:
The further you press the pedal, the
faster you will travel in that direction.
6. To stop the machine, release the motion pedals.
Important:
Do not press the motion pedals
too quickly; this may cause the machines
to skid and scuff the turf under the drive
roller, as well as cause damage to the drive
system. You should always operate the
motion pedals in a controlled manner.
Note:
As you become familiar with the machine,
you will get the feel for when you should release
the motion pedals, which will be prior to where
you want to finish the run, as the machine
continues to roll for a short time after you release
the pedal. As you come to a complete stop,
gently press the other motion pedal for your
return pass.
7. Turn the steering wheel clockwise to turn the
machine in the forward direction.
Turn the steering wheel counterclockwise to turn
the machine in the rearward direction.
Note:
As the direction changes at the end of
every run, you will need to practice with the
machine to become accustomed to the steering.
Important:
To stop the machine in an
emergency, press the other motion pedal to
the position. As an example, with
NEUTRAL
the right pedal pressed and traveling to the
right, press the left pedal to the
position to bring the machine to a stop. This
action must be firm but not sudden, as it may
cause the machine to tip sideways.
8. Before leaving the operator's seat, parked on a
level surface and engage the parking brake.

Operating Tips

•
When operating the machine on hills, ensure that
the drive roller is on the downhill side for adequate
traction. Failure to do so may result in turf damage.
•
For the best rolling effect, periodically remove any
buildup that accumulates on the rollers.

After Operation

After Operation Safety

•
Shut off the machine, remove the key (if equipped),
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 muffler and
engine compartment to help prevent fires. Clean
up oil or fuel spills.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure.
•
Shut off the fuel before storing or transporting the
machine.
•
Never 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.
•
Keep all parts of the machine in good working
condition and all hardware tightened.
•
Replace all worn, damaged, or missing decals.

Hauling the Machine

•
Use full-width ramps for loading the machine onto
a trailer or truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely.
