4. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before
you transport the machine to the next green.
Note:
Heavy wet clippings place an undue
strain on the baskets and add unnecessary
weight to the machine, which increases the load
on the machine systems (e.g., engine, hydraulic
system, and brakes).

After Operation

After Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Shut off the engine and remove the key. Wait for all
moving parts to stop and allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, cleaning, storing, or repairing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting units,
drives, mufflers, cooling screens, and engine to
help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
Shut off the fuel while storing or transporting the
machine.
•
Disengage the drive to the attachment whenever
you are transporting or not using the machine.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure.
•
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or on other appliances.
Towing Safety
•
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed
for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except
at the hitch point.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for
weight limits for towed equipment and towing
on slopes. On slopes, the weight of the towed
equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of
control.
•
Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
•
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop
when towing.
Inspecting and Cleaning
after Mowing
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with a
garden hose without a nozzle so that excessive water
pressure does not contaminate and damage the seals
and bearings. Do not wash a warm engine or the
electrical connections with water.
After cleaning the machine, do the following:
•
Inspect the machine for possible hydraulic
fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and
mechanical components.
•
Inspect the cutting units for sharpness.
•
Lubricate the brake-shaft assembly with SAE 30
oil or spray lubricant to deter corrosion and help
keep the machine performing satisfactorily during
the next mowing operation.

Hauling the Machine

•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or a truck.
•
Use a full-width ramp for loading the machine into
a trailer or a truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps
should be directed down and outward from the
machine.
