Safe Operation Practices

For Ride-On (Riding) Rotary Mower Machines

Training

Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the 1.

controls and the proper use of the equipment.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these 2.

instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may

restrict the age of the operator.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets 3.

are nearby.

Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for 4.

accidents or hazards occur ring to other people or their

property.

Do not carry passengers. 5.

All drivers should seek and obtain pro fessional 6.

and practical instruction. Such instruction should

emphasize:

the need for care and concentration when working a.

with ride-on machines;

control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will b.

not be regained by the application of the brake. The

main reasons for loss of control are:

insufficient wheel grip; •

being driven too fast; •

inadequate braking;•

the type of machine is unsuitable for its task; •

lack of awareness of the effect of ground •

conditions, especially slopes;

incorrect hitching and load dis tribution. •

Preparation

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and 1.

long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when

barefoot or wearing open sandals.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to 2.

be used and remove all ob jects which may be thrown

by the machine.

WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable.

3.

Store fuel in containers specifically de signed for this a.

purpose.

Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while b.

refuelling.

Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove c.

the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the

engine is run ning or when the engine is hot.

If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine d.

but move the machine away from the area of

spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition

until petrol vapours have dissipated.

Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely. e.

Replace faulty silencers. 4.

Before using, always visually inspect to see that the 5.

blades, blade bolts and cutter as sembly are not worn or

damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts

in sets to preserve balance.

On multi-blade machines, take care as ro tating one 6.

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

Operation

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where 1.

dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. 2.

Before attempting to start the engine, dis engage all 3.

blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral.

Do not use on slopes of more than 10 de grees. 4.

Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope. 5.

Travel on grass slopes re quires particular care. To

guard against overturning:

do not stop or start suddenly when going up or a.

downhill;

engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear, b.

especially when tra velling downhill;

machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and c.

during tight turns;

stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden d.

hazards;

never mow across the face of the slope, unless the e.

mower is designed for this purpose.

Important! Before You Start Mowing

Check the engine oil. •

Fill the fuel tank with petrol. •

Check the air pressure of the tires. •

Check the level of the mower hous ing. •

Attach the battery cables. •

Check Tire Pressure

Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air

pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong

air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level.

The correct air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),

Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tires were over-inflated

for shipment.

How To Prepare The Engine

NOTE:

The engine was shipped from the fac tory filled with

oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.

See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type

of petrol and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the

information on safety, oper ation, maintenance, and storage.

WARNING: Follow the engine manu-

facturer’s instructions for the type of petrol

and oil to use. Always use a safety petrol

container. Do not smoke when adding

petrol to the engine. When inside an

enclosure, do not fill with petrol. Before you

add petrol, stop the engine. Let the engine

cool for several minutes.

Mowing and Bagging Tips

For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of the 1.

mower housing See authorized dealer.

For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tires 2.

have the correct amount of air pressure.

Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the 3.

blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the

blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.

Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause 4.

the ends of the grass to turn brown.

Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will not 5.

discharge correctly. Let the grass dry before cutting.

Use the left side of the mower housing to trim near an 6.

object.

Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area. The 7.

result is a more even discharge of cut grass.

When you mow large areas, start by turning to the right 8.

so that the cut grass will dis charge away from shrubs,

fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in

the op posite direction making left turns until fin ished.

If the grass is very high, cut two times to de crease the 9.

load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in

the highest position and then lower the mower housing

for the second cut.

For better engine performance and an even discharge 10.

of the cut grass, always operate the engine with the

throttle in FAST position.

When you use a bagger, operate the engine with the 11.

throttle in FAST position and the speed control pedal

pushed 1/3 to 1/2 for ward.

After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower 12.

housing for better performance. Also, a clean mower

pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air

pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The

correct air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear

Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI).

Storage

WARNING: Never store the unit (with fuel)

in an enclosed, ventilated structure. Fuel

vapors can travel to an ignition source

(such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and

cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic

to humans and animals.

When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank

Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters •

or appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition

sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Equipment

Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool, dry

place and fully charged about once a month. If the battery is

left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel

causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or

on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs

& Stratton FUEL FIT® fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid

additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a

fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the

engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the

fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to

24 months.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel

stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.

Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a

fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to

maintain freshness.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See the

Engine Manual.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.•

Perform all recommended checks and procedures •

found in this manual.

Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before •

use.
