cutting. Replace the flag.
8. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before transporting
to the next green. Heavy wet clippings place an undue
strain on the baskets and will add unnecessary weight to
the machine, thereby increasing the load on the engine,
hydraulic system, brakes, etc.
LEAK DETECTOR OPERATION
The leak detector alarm may sound for one of the
following reasons:
1. A leak has occurred.
2. The oil level in the main reservoir is reduced by 4 to 6
ounces due to oil contraction from cooling.
If the alarm sounds, turn it off as quickly as possible and
inspect for leaks. If the alarm sounds while operating on a
green, drive off the green first. Determine the source of the leak
and repair it before continuing operation. If a leak is not found
and a false leak is suspected, move the ignition switch to OFF
and let the machine stand for 1–2 minutes to allow the oil levels
to stabilize. Then start the machine and operate in a non-sensi-
tive area to confirm that no leak exists.
False alarms due to oil contraction may be caused by extended
idling after normal operation. A false alarm may also occur if
the machine is worked at a reduced work load after an extended
period of heavier work. To avoid false alarms, turn the machine
off rather than letting it idle for extended periods.
TRANSPORT OPERATION
Make sure the cutting units are in the highest UP position. Set
the shift selector in No. 2 if conditions will permit faster ground
speed. In rough or hilly areas, shift to No. 1 and operate at
slower ground speeds. Use the brakes to slow the machine
while going down steep hills to avoid loss of control. Always
approach rough areas at a reduced speed (shift selector in No.
1), and cross severe undulations carefully. Familiarize yourself
with the width of the machine. Do not attempt to pass between
objects that are close together so that you can prevent costly
damage and down time.

INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP
AFTER MOWING
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine. Use a
garden hose without a nozzle so excessive water
pressure doesn't contaminate and damage seals and
bearings. After cleaning, inspect the machine for
possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to the
hydraulic and mechanical components. Also check
the cutting units for sharpness. Lubricate the mow
and lift pedal and the brake shaft assembly with
SAE 30 oil or spray lubricant to deter corrosion and
keep the machine performing well during the next
mowing operation.
