OPERATION
ATTACHMENTS
This unit can use many different attachments. See the attachment
page in this book. This unit can pull attachments
like a lawn
sweeper, a lawn aerator, a hopper spreader, or a small trailer. This
unit cannot use attachments that engage the ground like a plow, a
disk harrow, or a cultivator.
For all putt-behind
attachments
or trailers, the maximum gross
weight is 200 pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the attachment
or trailer and any load that might be on or in it.
Do not operate on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees when
using a pull-behind
attachment or trailer. We have included a slope
guide in this book to help you determine the slope on which you will
be operating your unit. Never allow someone to stand or ride on or
in an attachment or trailer.
ELECTRICAL
SAFETY
SYSTEM
The electrical system has three primary components, an Operator
Presence System and a Select Reverse '_ System, and a Run-Mow
System.
Operator Presence System (Seat)
The seat has an Operator Presence System to shut off the engine
when the operator leaves the seat. This system is not intended for
regular use in stopping the engine or the blade(s). Before leaving the
seat, move the blade rotation control to the DISENGAGE
position,
shift to neutral, set the parking brake and stop the engine.
Select Reverse
TM
System
The Select Reverse 'M system will allow the mower blade(s) to
continue to rotate when traveling in reverse. See "How To Operate
The Ignition Key Switch" and "How To Start The Engine" for further
details.
