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.
