3. STARTING MOWING OPERATION
CAUTION :

Read the contents of this manual thor-
oughly and carefully and keep safe opera-
tion in mind.
・
Before moving the front mower into the
working site, investigate the whole site
and get rid of all obstacles such as stones,
wood, empty tins, bottles, wires, etc for
operation safety.
・
Investigate the site for pits, mounds,
steps, slope angles, ground softness, wa-
ter pools, etc to avoid turning over, falling
down, and side-shifting.
・
Also make sure there is no danger of hurt-
ing children, animals, by-standers, etc.
and damaging nearby trees, buildings, etc.

IMPORTANT:
The lift height and PTO Iever position are interconnected

is automatically shifted to the OFF (
N
) position.
・
When engaging the PTO clutch, slow down the engine
speed sufficiently for safety.

With the lift raised to the maximum height, the PTO
lever cannot be shifted to the ON (
M
) position. Never
attempt to move the lever forcibly, or the lever linkage
may be damaged.
