Section 2
Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST
NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could
result in injury or death.
FOLDABLE ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position
and the seat belt securely fastened during
operation. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or loss of life.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary.
WARNING
There is no roll-over protection when the roll bar
is in the down position.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
DO NOT wear the seat belt when the roll bar is in
the down position.
ALWAYS wear seat belt when roll bar is in the up
position.
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns,
starts or stops.
Check the area carefully before mowing for proper
overhead clearance (i.e. branches, doorways,
etc.).
DO NOT contact any overhead object with the
roll bar.
To lower the roll bar, loosen the tension knob on both 1.
the left hand and right hand bar. See Figure 2-1.
ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM2.5
WARNING
Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes,
slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to
stop.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation.
To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the
cutter deck down). If the machine can not back
up the slope without the wheels slipping, do not
operate the machine on this slope. Under no
circumstances should the machine be operated
on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge
caves in.
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns,
starts or stops on a slope.
NEVER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed
equipment may cause loss of traction and loss
of control.
DO NOT permit untrained personnel to operate
the machine.
Be cautious when loading and unloading onto
trailers or trucks.
Use only a full width ramp.
Ramp angle should be no more than 15
degrees.
Back up the ramp and drive down forward.
This mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions. However,
caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially
when the grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet
grass reduces traction and steering control.
