MAINTENANCE
Checking the Safety System
The machine is equipped with a safety
system that prevents starting or driving under
the following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
1. The mower deck is disengaged.
2. The motion control levers are in the
outer, locked neutral position.
3. The driver is sitting in the driver’s seat.
4. 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.
Check that the engine stops if one, after
having released the parking brake,
temporarily stands from the driver’s seat
(whether the mower deck is engaged or not).
Check that the engine stops if the mower
deck is engaged and one temporarily stands
up.
Mower Deck Leveling
Position the mower on a hard level surface.
Check the tire pressure in all four tires.
Inflation should be 16 psi.
Set anti-scalp rollers at all four corners in top
hole
Set 3 1/2” blocks under the anti-scalp rollers
(cutting edge of blade should be at 4 1/4”.
Position stop in 4 1/4” hole and lower lever
onto pin.
Adjust lower end of all four chains in slots on
deck weldment so they are just tight.
