SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES, cont'd
4. Tractors with hydraulic pumps, hoses, or motors; and/or diesel injection systems
have fluid systems under pressure. Fluid escaping under pressure may have sufficient
force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is injected into the skin, seek
immediate medical attention. Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles
that eject fluid under high pressure. If a leak occurs, have the tractor immediately
serviced by an authorized dealer.
5. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all moving
parts have stopped. Turn off the engine, remove the key, disconnect the spark plug
wire(s), and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
6. Check to make sure the blades come to a complete stop in not more than 5 seconds
after disengaging the blade disengagement control per the schedule shown on
the Maintenance Schedule chart in the Service and Maintenance section of this
manual. Measure the stopping time with a stop watch. If the blades do not stop
completely in less than 5 seconds, the tractor should be serviced professionally by an
authorized dealer.
7. Check the safety interlock system for proper function per the schedule shown on the
Maintenance Schedule chart in the Service and Maintenance section of this manual.
If the safety interlock system does not function properly, have the tractor serviced
professionally by an authorized dealer.
8. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
9. Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolt torque in accordance to the
Maintenance Schedule chart in this manual. Also, visually inspect blade(s) for damage
(e.g., excessive wear, bent, cracked). Replace the blade(s) with the original equipment
manufacturer's (O.E.M.) blade(s) only.
10. Use of service parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may
lead to improper performance and compromise safety.
11. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition. Review the Maintenance Schedule chart in this manual for service
interval information.
12. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire(s), and
ground against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the tractor for any damage. Repair the
damage before starting and operating.
13. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the tractor while the engine
is running.
14. Grass catcher components and the chute deflector are subject to wear and damage
which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check
components and replace immediately with original equipment manufacturer's
(O.E.M.) parts only.
15. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
16. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect
the environment.
