WARNING!
This mower is equipped with an
internal combustion engine and
should not be used on or near any
unimproved forested, bush covered
or grassy lands unless the engine's
system is equipped with a spark
arrester meeting applicable local or
state laws (if any).
Rollover Protection System (ROPS)
The ROPS increases the basic weight of the unit by 73
lbs/33 kg.
• Do not use the ROPS as a lifting, attaching or
anchoring point.
• Do not use the ROPS for wrecking or towing.
• Do not exceed Max GVW: 2822 lbs/1283 kg.
• Securely fasten the seat belt if the unit has a
ROPS.
• Where possible, avoid operating the unit near
ditches, embankments and holes.
• Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes and
on rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
• Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation.
• Be aware of the mowing path, especially at row
ends, on roads and around trees.
• Do not permit take passengers.
• Operate the mower smoothly, make no jerky turns,
starts or stops.
• When the mower is stopped, set brakes securely
and use the park brake.
• If any part of the ROPS is damaged, the entire
ROPS must be replaced.
• Before each use, check for the correct torque on
all bolts, including those on the seat belt.
• Check the ROPS structure for damage before
each use.
• ROPS bar is NOT intended for use in sub zero
temperatures.
WARNING!
The rollover protection system's
capabilities may be impaired by
damage if the mower is overturned
or if alteration to the ROPS occurs. If
these conditions take place, the total
structure MUST be replaced.
Spark Arrestor
A spark arrester is standard equipment on the unit
and is attached to the engine muffler. Clean the
interior screen regularly, depending on usage and
conditions.
The engine and the exhaust system become very hot
during operation and there is risk for burns if touched.
Allow the exhaust system to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning the screen.
To clean, slide the spark arrestor screen out of the
muffler. Clean the carbon from the screen with a soft
brush or cloth.
Replace screen and reattach the tail pipe, orienting
the tail pipe either horizontally or upwards, away from
grassy surfaces.
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system
become very hot during operation.
There is risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system
to cool to a safe temperature before
refueling.
