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 blades are disengaged.
2. The motion control levers must be in the
locked position.
Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety
system works by attempting to start the engine
when one of the conditions is not met.
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.
Functional check
Check the function of the safety electrical system
on a regular basis.
1. Engine must stop if blades are engaged without
operator presence levers held down.
2. Engine must stop if motion control levers are
taken out of neutral without holding down
operator presence levers.
3. Engine must not start unless blades are off and
motion control levers are in the neutral position.
Checking the Engine's Cooling Air
Intake
Check that the engine’s cooling air intake is
free from leaves, grass, and dirt.
If the cooling air intake is clogged, engine
cooling deteriorates, which can lead to
engine damage.
