After Operation Safety
General Safety
•
Before you leave the operating position, do the
following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Shift the transmission to the NEUTRAL
position.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the machine and remove the key.
– Wait for all movement to stop.
•
If, during operation, you find that the machine is
unsafe in any way, report it immediately to the
owner and do not operate the machine until it is in
safe operating condition.
•
Allow the machine to cool before adjusting,
servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
Hauling the Machine
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or a truck.
•
Use full-width ramps for loading the machine into
a trailer or a truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely.
Note:
Load the machine on the trailer with the front
of the machine facing forward. If that is not possible,
secure the machine hood to the frame with a strap,
or remove the hood and transport and secure it
separately or the hood may blow off during transport.
CAUTION
Loose seats may fall off the machine and
trailer when transporting the machine, and
the seats may land on another machine or
obstruct the roadway.
Ensure that all seats are secured to the
vehicle.
Towing the Machine
In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine
for a short distance; however, this should not be a
standard operating procedure.
WARNING
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a
loss of steering control, resulting in personal
injury.
Never tow the machine at faster than 8 km/h
(5 mph).
Note:
The power steering does not function,
making it difficult to steer.
Towing the machine is a 2-person job. If you must
move the machine a considerable distance, transport
it on a truck or trailer.
1.
Remove the drive belt from the machine.
2.
Affix a tow line to the front center of the machine
frame.
3.
Move the transmission to the N
and disengage the parking brake.
