f. To avoid back-over accidents, always disengage blades before traveling
in reverse.

from a hot muffler.
h. Remove key when machine is unattended to prevent
unauthorized operation.
2. Follow all federal, state, and local guidelines regarding the use by children under
the age of 18. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate this machine.
Children 16 and over should read and understand the instructions and safe
operation practices in this manual and on the machine and should be trained and
supervised by an adult.
TOWING
1. Do not tow heavy tow-behind attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart, lawn roller,
etc.) on slopes greater than 5° (9%).
2. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach
towed equipment except at the hitch point.
3. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight limits for towed
equipment and towing on slopes.
4. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
5. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss
of control.
6. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
7. Make wide turns to avoid jackknifing.
TRANSPORTING MACHINES
1. This machine is not intended for use on public roads. Machines operated on public
roads must comply with state and local ordinances, SAE J137, and ANSI/ASABE
S279 (lighting and marking requirements).
2. Use care when loading or unloading machines onto trailers and trucks.
3. Do not use SurePath Auto Steer Mode when loading and unloading machine onto
a trailer or truck.
4. If ramps are used, they must be full width, stable, have an adequate capacity
rating, and be secured to the trailer or truck. Ramp angle should not exceed 20°
(35%) and trailer or truck should be parked on level terrain.
5. Machines must be secured onto trailers and trucks with straps, chains, cables,
ropes, or other means deemed adequate for that purpose. The front and rear
of the machines must be secured to the trailer or truck in both the lateral and
vertical directions.
OPERATOR PROTECTIVE SYSTEM (OPS)
1. This machine is equipped with an Operator Protective System (OPS),
which includes:
a. A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) of the fixed or
folding configuration.
b. Seat belt assembly with retractable function.
2. ROPS are structures designed to provide a crush-resistant space for the operator
when properly seat-belted within the designated seating area of the machine in
the event of a machine tip-over or rollover. Folding ROPS shall be used in their
fully upright and locked configurations except in those circumstances whereby
they need to be momentarily folded-down to avoid contact with items such as
tree limbs, clothes lines, guy wires, utility poles, buildings, etc. At other times and
conditions, ROPS shall be in their fully upright and locked configurations.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
4
Damaged ROPS must be replaced prior to operator use.
3. Seat belts shall be used and shall be properly fastened about the operator's waist
at all times, except when the ROPS are:
a. Not properly installed and/or not properly secured onto the machine.
b. Damaged in such manner that their structural integrity has
been compromised.
c. Not in their fully upright and locked position.
4. Seat belts are attached to the movable portion of the seat when suspension seats
are utilized, and therefore the seat-mounting base must be secured to its pivot
means and the pivot means latched to the frame of the machine. Seat belts are
attached to the seat or the frame of the machine when non-suspension (standard)
seats are provided, however, if a suspension kit is added to a seat, the seat belt
must be attached to the movable portion of the seat or suspension mechanism,
the seat-mounting base must be secured to its pivot means, and the pivot means
be latched to the frame of the machine.
If ROPS are folded down or missing, seat belts shall not be fastened. Worn or
damaged seat belt assemblies must be replaced prior to operator use.
5. A brush guard or canopy may deflect tree limbs, clothes lines, and other obstacles
that otherwise could come in contact with the ROPS. Contact of ROPS, brush
guard, and/or canopies by items such as tree limbs, clothes lines, guy wires,
and buildings, could create hazardous conditions whereby the machine could
experience a tip-over or rollover. A canopy may provide protection for the
operator from some environmental exposure (sunlight, rain, etc.).
6. The ROPS and seat belt are integral parts of this machine and should not be
tampered with, modified in any manner, or removed.
7. Inspect the ROPS and seat belt assemblies on a regular basis for damage and
improper operation. Replace all components that are damaged or are not
functioning properly with authorized replacement parts.
8. The ROPS extends above and behind the operator position, and therefore the
operator must be aware of potential contact of the ROPS with items such as trees,
buildings, doorways, clothes lines, utility wires, etc., that could cause the machine
to tip-over or rollover. Use caution in (or avoid) areas where the ROPS could come
in contact with any structures, trees, etc.
9. Inspect the ROPS and seat belt assemblies on a regular basis for damage and
improper operation. Replace all components that are damaged or are not
functioning properly with authorized replacement parts.
10. Failure to use the seat belt properly could result in serious injury or death if an
accidental overturn occurs. In order for the ROPS to be effective, the seat belt
must be securely fastened around the operator at all times when the operator is
on the machine. Contact with the ROPS during an overturn could cause serious
injury or death.
11. The ROPS will not prevent machine from tip-overs or rollovers.
12. Do not assume ROPS will protect you in a tip-over or rollover. Injuries may
still occur.
HYDRAULIC DEVICES & SYSTEMS
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure may have sufficient force to penetrate
skin and cause serious injury. If foreign fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, seek
immediate medical attention or gangrene and permanent damage may result.
