After Operation

After Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all movement to stop
before you leave the operator's position. Allow
the machine to cool before adjusting, servicing,
cleaning, or storing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting units and
drives to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel
spills.
•
Shut off the fuel while storing or hauling the
machine.
•
Disengage the drive to the attachment whenever
you are hauling or not using the machine.
•
Allow the machine to cool before storing the
machine in any enclosure.
•
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary.
•
Do not 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.

Towing the Machine

In case of an emergency, you can tow the machine
for up to 0.4 km (1/4 mile).
Important:
Do not tow the machine faster than 3
to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph) to avoid damaging the drive
system. If you must move the machine more than
0.4 km (1/4 mile), transport it on a truck or trailer.
1. Locate the bypass valve on the pump and rotate
it so that the slot is vertical
1. Bypass valve-slot shown in closed (horizontal) position
2. Before starting the engine, close the bypass
valve by rotating it so that the slot is horizontal
(Figure 25). Do not start the engine when the
valve is open.
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.
