Introduction
Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Yazoo/Kees ride-on mower. This machine is built for the greatest efficiency and rapid
mowing of large areas. Conveniant controls and a hydrostatic transmission regulated by steering levers also
contribute to the machine’s performance.
This manual is a valuable document. Following the instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.) can considerably
increase the lifespan of your machine and even increase its resale value.
If you sell your machine, be sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.
The final chapter of this operator’s manual comprises a Service Journal. Ensure that service and repair work is
documented. A well kept service journal reduces service costs for the season-based maintenance and affects the
machine’s resale value. Take the operator’s manual along when the machine is left at the service center for
service.
General
In this operator’s manual, left and right, backward and forward are used in relation to the machine’s normal driving
direction.
Driving and Transport on Public Roads
Check applicable road traffic regulations before driving and transporting on public roads. If the machine is transported,
you should always use approved fastening equipment and ensure that the machine is well anchored.
Operating
This machine is constructed only for mowing grass on lawns and other free and even ground without obstacles
such as stones, tree stubs, etc. The machine can also be used for other tasks when equipped with special
accessories provided by the manufacturer, for which the operating instructions are provided in conjunction with
delivery. All other types of use are incorrect. The manufacturer’s directions concerning operation, maintenance,
and repairs must be carefully followed.
The machine must only be operated, maintained, and repaired by persons that are familiar with the machine’s
special characteristics and who are well versed in the safety instructions.
Accident prevention regulations, other general safety regulations, occupational safety rules, and traffic regulations
must be followed without fail.
Unauthorized modifications to the design of the machine may absolve the manufacturer from liability for any
resulting personal injury or property damage.
