Periodically check the starting circuit to make sure all system
components operate correctly.
If the starting system does not work, consult your Ariens
Dealer immediately.
Operate the mower only in daylight or when the area to be
mowed is lit well by artificial light.
Never remove the discharge shield from the mower because
the discharge shield directs material down toward the turf. If
the shield is damaged, be sure to replace it immediately.
Never try to clear the discharge area or the mower blades
unless you have moved the steering control levers to the
park position, put the PTO switch in the "Off" position,
switched the ignition key to the "Off" position, removed the
ignition key and disconnected the negative battery cable.
Do not operate the power unit in a confined or non-ventilated
area. Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and can
be fatal.
Do not turn sharply when driving at high speeds.
Park the mower on a firm level surface with the steering
control levers in the park position.
When backing, be sure to turn around and look to the rear.
Do not mow in reverse unless it is absolutely necessary.
When working in groups, use caution and watch out for
others.
Always be aware of mower discharge direction. Make sure it
does not point at anyone.
Be sure the engine and rotating blades have stopped before
putting hands or feet near the blade.
Disengage the blade drive when transporting the machine
across drives, sidewalks, etc. Never raise the mower deck
while the blades are turning.
Do not put hands or feet under or into the mower when it is
running.
Do not touch the engine or muffler when the engine is
running or immediately after the engine has stopped. These
areas may be hot enough to cause serious burns.
Do not drive the machine on streets or highways. Watch for
traffic when crossing streets or while mowing close to roads.
Always inspect the mower for damage after striking a foreign
object. Always repair or replace damaged parts before
restarting the mower deck.
Do not operate the power unit without the mower deck
attached.
Make sure the machine and all attachments come to a
complete stop before dismounting.
Before dismounting, disengage the PTO, lower all
attachments, place the steering control levers in the park
position, turn off the engine, and remove the key.
Operating On Slopes
Avoid starting or stopping when going up or down a slope.
Keep all movements on a slope gradual and slow. Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
If tires lose traction while on a slope, disengage the mower
blades and back slowly and gradually down the slope.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn slowly
and gradually downhill if possible.
Use extra caution when mowing on slopes. If you are unable
to back up on the slope, or if you do not feel comfortable on
it, then do not mow it. Do not operate the machine on slopes
that exceed 15°.
Mow across slopes, not up and down, to avoid machine
tip-over. Do not mow slopes or hills that are too steep for
safe operation.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the
ground.
ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)
Do not weld, drill or alter the ROPS. Damaged ROPS must
not be straightened or used. If damage does occur, consult
your Dealer and replace all damaged parts.
If the ROPS is lowered or removed from the power unit for
any reason, it must be erected and/or refitted immediately.
Original bolts or equivalent replacements must be used and
tightened to the correct torque.
Do not attach chain, ropes, or cables to the ROPS for pulling
purposes as this will cause the mower to tip backwards.
Ariens does not recommend the use of the mower with the
ROPS removed.
If you have a foldable ROPS, it can be folded down for
mower storage. It must be pinned in the upright position prior
to machine operation.
SEAT BELT USAGE
With the ROPS installed, it is imperative that the seat belt be
installed, used, and correctly adjusted at all times. Replace
damaged seat belts immediately.
Do not use a seat belt if operating with ROPS folded down or
removed.
MAINTENANCE
Only qualified, trained adults should service the machine.
Before maintenance is performed, make sure the mower is
parked on a firm flat surface. Remove the key to prevent an
accidental start up.
Never attempt to disconnect any safety devices.
Frequently check for worn or deteriorating components that
could create a hazard.
Use only genuine Ariens replacement parts. Substitute parts
could cause product malfunction or possible injury to the
operator or bystanders.
If it is necessary to have the engine running while making
maintenance adjustments, keep hands, feet, and clothing
away from all moving parts.
When making adjustments while the engine is running such
as carburetor and motion control linkage adjustments, stand
to either side of the tractor and mower and keep clear of
moving or rotating components.
Allow the Ariens mower time to cool before touching the
engine, muffler, or any other part which may be hot.
