Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss ofcontrol and tip-

over accidents which can result in severe injuryor death. All

slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope

or ifyou feel uneasy, do not mow it.

For safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this

manual to measure slopes before operating this uniton s

sloped or hilly area. Ifthe slope isgreater than 15 degrees as

shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unitthere.

Do:

1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme

caution when changing direction on slopes.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden

objects. Uneven terrain could overturnthe machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

3. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so

that you will not have to stop or shiftwhile on the slope,

Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes

are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear

when going down slopes totake advantage ofengine

braking action.

4. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability of the

machine. Usa extra care with grass catchers or other

attachments. These can change stability of the machine.

5. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do

notmake sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid

engagement or braking could cause the front of the

machine to liftand rapidly flipover backwards which

could cause serious injury.

6. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down

the slope.

Do Not"

1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary;,then, turn slowly

and gradually downhill, if possible.

2. Do not mow near drop-off sites,ditches or embankments.

The mower could suddenly turn over ifa wheel isover the

edge of a cliff, ditch, or ifan edge caves in.

3. Do not try tostabilize the machine by putting your foot on

the ground.

4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.

5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause

sliding.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Over-speeding

may cause the operator to lose controlof the machine

resulting in serious injuryor death.

7. Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded

dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5

degrees.Whengoingdownhill,theextraweighttendsto

Children

Tragic accidents can occur it the operator isnot 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 lastsaw them.

a. Keep children out of the mowing area and in

watchful care ofa responsible adult other than the

operator.

b. Be alert and turn machine off if a childenters the

area.

c. Before and while backing, 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. Usa extreme care when approaching blind

corners, doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects

that may block yourvision of a child who may run

intothe machine.

f. Disengage the cutting blede(s) before shifting in

reverse. The =No-Cut-in Reverse" feature

emphasizes notto cut in reverse and to avoid

back-over accidents; do not defeat it.

Keep children away from hot or running engines.

They can suffer burns from a hotmuffler.

Remove key when machine isunattended to

prevent unauthorized operation.

Never allow children under 14 years old to operate the

machine. Children 14 years oldand over should read and

understand the operation instructionsand safety rules in

this manual and should be trained and supervised by a

parent.

Filling Up Gasoline

WARNING: Fillfuel tank outdoors or in well-

ventilated area, away from sparks, open

flames, pilot lights,heat and other ignition

sources.

NOTE: On a vehicle which has already been started

and/or operated once immediately prior to thisgasoline

fill-up, turn engine off and let cool at least two minutes

before removing gas cap.

1. Remove gas tank cap and filltank to approximately

1.5 inches below top of neck to allow for fuel

expansion. Be careful not tooverfill.

2. Replace cap on the gas tank and tighten to secure.

If fuel spills on part of engine or vehicle, wait until it

evaporates before startingengine.

Type of Gasoline

• Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with

minimum 85 octane rating.

• Do not use gasoline mixed with methanol, or

gasoline which has been stored for more than 30

days. Always purchase fuel in quantity that can be

used up within30 days. Fresh fuel prevents gum

from forming in the fuel system or on carburetor.

• Do not mix gasoline with engine oil.

NOTE: Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated

gasoline, are blended with alcohols or ethers. Using

these blends frequently can damage the fuel system or

affect performance. If engine performance is affected,

use gasoline with lower percentage of alcohol or ether.

Starting the Engine

4. Tum ignitionkeyto OFF positionand remove key.

NOTE: Do not leave key in the ON position when you

are not operating the mower. Such action willdrain the

battery dead.

Emergency Stopping

To stop the vehicle immediately in an emergency, raise

yourbody up and offthe seat.

Using as Mower

• Do not mow at high ground speed, especially ifa

mulch kit or grass collector is installed.

• Forbest results, itisrecommended that the firsttwo

laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the

center. Then reverse the direction tothrow rest of

the discharge to the outside. This will give a better

appearance to the lawn.

• Do not cut grass too short. Short grass invites weed

growth and yellows quickly indry weather.

• Do not attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds and

extremely tall grass. Your mower isdesigned to

mow lawns, notclear brush.

Keep the blades sharp and replace blades when

worn. Refer to page 14 for blade care instruction.

WARNING: Plan your mowing pattem to

avoid discharge of materials toward reads,

sidewalks, by-standers and the like.Also, avoid

discharging material against a wall or

obstruction which may cause discharged

material to ricochet back toward the operator.

To Empty Grass Catcher

1. Stop the mower completely, set parking brake and

take ignitionkey out. Get offthe seat.

2. Unhook bag straps from the mower frame. Pull up

the grass catcher bag by the two handles and carry

itto the proper disposal site.

3. Hold bag away from your bodywhile emptying it.

4. Replace the bag on to the mower. Hook the loose

end of the bag retainer straps tothe vehicle frame

to secure the grass bag.

Using as Mulcher

This vehicle isshipped with a mulchplug to recirculate

grass clippings intothe lawn. The ultra-fineclippings

are forced back into the lawn where they act as a

natural fertilizer. Observe the followingfor best results:

• Attach the mulch plug to the cutting deck following

instructionson page 7.

• Never attempt to mulchif the lawn isdamp. Wet

grass tends to stickto the undemide of the cutting

deck preventing proper mulching ofthe clippings.

• Do notattempt to mulch more than 1/3 thetotal

height ofthe grass orapproximately 1-1/2 inches,

• Maintain a slow ground speed to allow the grass

clippingsmore time to be effectively mulched.

Using as Utility Cart

The lawn utilityvehicle, as itsname suggests, can be

used as botha ridinglawn mower and a utilitycart.

Remove grass catcher to expose the utilitybed.

See Figure 9, Follow instructionson page 7 for

grass catcher removal. Exemise caution in ddving

the vehicle when hauling things on itsutilitybed.
