OPERATION

Break-in Period

• Operation of the mower within the first fifty hours can

be a major factor in determining the performance and

life of the engine and power unit.

• The engine may be operated at full RPM, but

excessive load should be avoided. If engine begins to

slow, due to excessive load, operate at a slower

ground speed while maintaining the engine speed.

• Check engine, pumps, and motors frequently during

break-in period. Watch for evidence of leakage of

fluids. Replenish levels as required and repair any

leaks that may have formed.

• Locate any nuts, bolts or screws that may have

loosened and tighten them as necessary. This is

especially true of the wheel retaining nuts.

• During break-in period observe control arm and

parking brake adjustments. Parking brake adjustments

may be necessary after the first few hours of operation.

• Keep area around the fuel tank filler clean and make

sure the gasoline is of correct octane and free of

contamination.

• Initial oil and oil filter change is after the first 8 hours of

use and every 100 hours after.

Fuel

CAUTION: Proper maintenance practices are

required for safe operation. (See Maintenance

Schedule on page 17).

WARNING: AVOID INJURY.

Read and understand entire Safety section

before proceeding.

Add fuel to the Fuel Tank as needed. See your engine

manual for correct type and grade of fuel.

To add fuel to the fuel tank:

1. Place unit in an open, well-ventilated area.

2. Stop engine and allow it to cool.

3. Clean the fuel cap and area around the fuel cap to

prevent dirt from entering the tank. Remove the cap

from the fuel tank.

Fill the fuel tank to within 1 in. (25mm) below bottom of

filler neck. Do not overfill.

5. Replace fuel cap and tighten.

6. Clean up any spilled fuel.

Mounting and Dismounting Safely

DO NOT step on either side of the mower deck when

mounting or dismounting the power unit. Step over the deck

when mounting or dismounting.

PRE-START INSPECTION

CAUTION: Make sure all hardware is tight, all

safety devices are in place and all adjustments

are made correctly.

Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator. The

operator MUST be familiar with the mower and power unit

controls, how they work, and all safety precautions BEFORE

starting operation.

IMPORTANT: Inspect the mowing blade bolts daily, or

whenever a blade has been removed. Torque is

110 - 130 Ibf-ft. (150 - 177 N•m).

• Make sure all safety shields are in place and secured

properly.

• Make sure the operator is instructed on correct and

safe operation of the power unit and related

attachments and implements.

• Check engine and hydraulic reservoir oil and fill as

necessary.

• Check the pump belt and drive belt tension and adjust

as necessary.

• Ensure air intake screens are clear of debris to provide

maximum engine cooling.

• Inspect tires, tire pressure and wheel bolt torque. Look

for external signs of leakage and correct before

operating the mower. Check steering control levers for

looseness and correct position.

• Check for adequate fuel supply. It is recommended that

the fuel tank be filled following each day's use to reduce

condensation and provide a full tank for next use.
