5.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES _________________________________________________

1. Under no circumstances should the engine be started

without the operator seated on the tractor.

2. Do not operate tractor or attachments with loose,

damaged or missing components. Whenever possible

mow when grass is dry.

3. First mow in a test area to become thoroughly familiar

with the operation of the tractor and control levers.

Note:

To prevent damage to the reel and bedknife

never

operate the reels when they are not cutting grass.

Excessive friction and heat will develop between the

bedknife and reel and damage the cutting edge

4. Study the area to determine the best and safest

operating procedure. Consider the height of the grass,

type of terrain, and condition of the surface. Each

condition will require certain adjustments or

precautions. Only use accessories and attachments

approved by Textron Turf Care And Specialty Products.

5. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders,

nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

The owner/operator is responsible for injuries inflicted

to bystanders and/or damage to their property.

6. Use discretion when mowing near gravel areas

(roadway, parking areas, cart paths, etc.). Stones

discharged from the implement may cause serious

injuries to bystanders and/or damage the equipment.

7. Disengage the drive motors and raise the implements

OPERATION 5

GB-13

5.6 TO DRIVE / TRANSPORT ____________________________________________________

Read and follow all safety notes contained in this manual

when driving or transporting tractor. Refer to Section 5.3

for general operating instructions. When operating in

reverse look behind you to ensure you have a clear path.

Important:

If this tractor is driven on public roads, it must

comply with federal, state and local ordinances. Contact

local authorities for regulations and equipment

requirements.

The tractor is equipped with a transport lock to lock the

reels in their upright position. Use the transport locks

where required for transporting machine over rough

terrain, on public roads or on trailers.

To raise mowers to their transport position:

Set reel/3WD switch to OFF. Depress and hold the lift

pedal until the mowers are in their fully raised (transport)

position.

To engage transport locks:

1. Raise reels to their transport position.

2. Disengage all drives, engage parking brake and

stop engine.

3. Remove pin (

) and slide handle (

) from the top

slot (

-Storage Position) to the bottom slot (

Transport Position). Insert pin (

) to lock handle (

)

in place.

The operator has the option to transport in either 2-wheel

drive (2-WD) or 3-wheel drive (3-WD).

Note: Engage locks when storing machine overnight. To

prevent damage to the tractor, the transport lock must be

disengaged before reels can be lowered for cutting.

Figure 5B

5.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION _____________________________________________________

The tractor has been designed for good traction and

stability under normal mowing conditions; however, use

caution when operating on slopes, especially over rough

terrain or when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces

traction and steering control.

1. Always mow with the engine at full throttle but reduce

forward speed to maintain the proper cutting fre-

quency.

2. If the tractor tends to slide or the tires begin to

“mark” the turf, angle tractor into a less steep grade

until traction is regained or tire marking stops.

3. If tractor continues to slide or mark the turf, the

grade is too steep for safe operation. Do not make

another attempt to climb, back down slowly.

4. When descending a steep slope, always lower

implements to the ground to reduce the risk of

tractor overturning.

Correct tire pressure is essential for maximum traction.

WARNING

To minimize the possibility of overturning, the safest

method for operating on hills and terraces is to travel

up and down the face of the slope (vertically), not

across the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary

turns, travel at reduced speeds, stay alert for hidden

hazards, and drop offs.

CAUTION:

Do not operate this tractor on

slopes greater than 16.2

! !

5 OPERATION

GB-14

5.8 MOWING_________________________________________________________________

To mow:

1. Disengage transport lock. Section 5.6.

2. Start the engine and lower the mowers to the

ground. The lift cylinder must be fully extended for

the mowers to float properly.

Note:

To prevent damage to the reel and bedknife,

never operate reels when they are not cutting grass.

3. Turn reel/3-WD switch to ON and disengage parking

brake.

4. Move throttle lever to FAST then slowly depress

traction pedal to the desired mowing speed.

a. For complete even cutting, overlap swaths by a

few inches.

b. Stop and raise the mowers to the transport

position when crossing paths or roadways. Look

out for traffic.

5. To remove or install the grass catchers, lower the

cutting units to the ground, engage the parking

brake, and shut off the engine. Tilt the grass catcher

body so the front edge clears the mower frame, and

slide the catcher onto or off the catcher frame.

5.9 TOWING / TRAILERING _____________________________________________________

If the tractor experiences problems and must be shut

down and removed from the area, it should be loaded

onto a trailer for transport. If a trailer is not available, the

unit can be towed slowly short distances.

NOTE:

Do not exceed 2 MPH (3.2 KPH) while towing.

Long distance towing is not recommended.

Use care when loading and unloading tractor. Fasten

tractor to trailer to prevent tractor from rolling or shifting

during transport.

Before towing, open tow valve. The tow valve permits

manual.

1. Park the tractor on a flat, level surface. Fully lower the

implements to the ground, engage parking brake,

stop the engine and remove key from ignition switch.

2. Grease and lubricate all points if required. To

prevent fires, wash the cutting units and tractor after

each use.

a. Use only fresh water for cleaning your

equipment.

Note: Use of salt water or affluent water has been

known to encourage rust and corrosion of metel parts

resulting in premature deterioration or failure.

Damage of this nature is not covered by the factory

warranty.

b. Do not use high pressure spray.

c. Do not spray water directly at the instrument

panel, or any electrical components.

d. Do not spray water into the cooling air intake or

the engine air intake.

Note:

Do not wash a hot or running engine. Use

compressed air to clean the engine and radiator fins.

3. Fill tractor’s fuel tank at the end of each operating

day to within 1 in., (25 mm) below the filler neck.

Diesel Engine

- Use clean, fresh #2 diesel fuel.

Minimum Cetane Rating 45.

Gasoline Engine

- Use clean, fresh, unleaded

gasoline, 85 octane minimum.

4. Handle fuel with care - it is highly flammable. Use

an approved container, the spout must fit inside the

fuel filler neck. Avoid using cans and funnels to

transfer fuel.

a. Never remove the fuel cap from the fuel tank, or

add fuel, when the engine is running or while the

engine is hot.

b. Do not smoke when handling fuel. Never fill or

drain the tank indoors.

c. Never overfill or allow the tank to become empty.

Do not spill fuel. Clean any spilled fuel

immediately.

d. Never handle or store fuel containers near an

open flame or any device that may create sparks

and ignite the fuel or fuel vapors.

5. Store fuel according to local, state or federal

ordinances and recommendations from your fuel

supplier.

6. Inspect hydraulic hoses and tubes daily. Look for

wet hoses or oil spots and replace worn or

damaged hoses and tubes before operating the

machine.

7. Check the engine oil and hydraulic oil at the start of

each day, before starting the engine. If the oil level is

low, remove the oil filler cap and add oil as required.

Do not overfill.

WARNING

To prevent serious injury from hot, high pressure

oil, never use your hands to check for oil leaks,

use paper or cardboard.

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have

sufficient force to penetrate skin. If fluid is injected

into the skin, it must be surgically removed within

a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of

injury or gangrene may result.
