OPERATION
■ Before starting the product:
● Check the brake operation.
● Check the tyre pressure.
● Check for loose fasteners.
● Make sure that all guards are in place and working
properly.
● Check the side discharge chute safety interlock
system
● Test the operator presence safety interlock system.
● Adjust the seat to the preferred position.
● Verify the battery charge level.
■ Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Before and while reversing, look behind and down for
small children, bystanders, and pets.
■ Never leave a running product unattended. Always turn
off the blades, engage the parking brake, stop the motor,
and remove the start key before dismounting.
■ The product must be started with the user properly seated
and behind the steering wheel. Never start the product if:
● not all four wheels are on the ground
● the side discharge chute is exposed and is not
protected by the mulch cover
● hands and feet of all persons are not clear of the
cutting enclosure
■ Never use the product in a closed area.
■ Turn on the motor carefully according to instructions,
and keep hands and feet away from blades. Do not put
hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
■ Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces to avoid
discharging gravel and rocks. Drive the product slowly
and carefully to avoid loss of control.
■ Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects including overhanging shrubs,
which may block your view.
■ Slow down before turning.
■ Watch for traffic when operating near roadways. Do not
operate the mower on roadways.
■ Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,
do not mow it. Never use the product on steep slopes
greater than 15°. Make a copy or cut out the slope guide
at the back of this manual, and use it to determine if your
slope is too steep for safe operation.
● Mow up and down; not across the face of slopes.
● Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the product. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
● Use a slow speed so you will not have to stop
suddenly or accidentally accelerate while on a slope.
● Do not mow on wet grass when on a slope. Tyres
may lose traction and you may lose control.
● Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill, which may
cause you to lose control of the product. Always use
the brakes when travelling down the slope.
● Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If
the tyres lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
● Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction,
which could cause the product to roll over.
● Use extra care while using the product with
attachments; they can affect the stability of the
product. Do not use the product on steep slopes
greater than 15°.
● Do not try to stabilise the product by putting your foot
on the ground.
● Do not use the product near drop-offs, ditches,
excessively steep slopes, or embankments. The
product could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over
the edge or if the edges caves in and result in death
or serious personal injury.
