LCD Service Minder & Hour Meter
When the ignition key is rotated out of the STOP
position, the LCD Service Minder and Hour Meter will briefly display the battery voltage,
followed by the tractor's accumulated hours.
NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the ignition key is rotated
out of the STOP position, regardless of whether the engine is started.
The LCD Service Minder will remind the operator of maintenance intervals for
changing the engine oil, air filter service, low engine and low battery warnings.
Change Oil
The LCD will display the letters "CHG", followed by the letters "OIL", followed by the
letters "SOON", then finally followed by the meter's accumulated time. "CHG/OIL/
SOON/TIME" will alternate on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50
hours. This oil service minder interval will occur every 50 hours. Before the interval
expires, change the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance section of this
Operator's Manual.
Low Oil
The letters "LO" followed by the letters "OIL", then followed by the meter's
accumulated time will indicate the tractor is low on oil. Stop the tractor
immediately and check the engine oil level as instructed in this Owner's Manual.
NOTE: The "LOW OIL" function only works if the engine is equipped with an
oil pressure switch.
Low Battery
At startup, the battery voltage is briefly displayed then
changes to accumulated hours. The letters "LO" will
display followed by the letters "BATT" and then followed
by the meter's accumulated time. "LO/BATT/TIME" is displayed on the LCD when the
voltage drops below 11.5 volts. When this occurs, the battery is in need of a charge
or the engine's charging system is not generating sufficient amperage. Charge the
battery as instructed in the Service section of this manual or have the charging
system checked by your local service dealer.
Air Filter Service
The letters "CLN" will display, followed by the letters
"AIR", followed by "FILT", then followed by the meter's
accumulated time. "CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME" will alternate
on the display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 25
hours. This air filter service minder time interval will be every 25 hours. On intervals
that are common with oil service, the oil message will be displayed first followed by
the air filter message.
General Safety
•
RECEIVE INSTRUCTION — Entirely read this operator's manual. Learn to
operate this machine SAFELY. Do not risk INJURY or DEATH. Allow only those
who have become competent in its usage to operate this tractor.
•
Before starting the engine or beginning operation, be familiar with the
controls. The operator should be in the operator's seat. The PTO switch must
be in the disengaged position and the RH and LH drive control levers moved
to the neutral position engaging the parking brake.
•
Keep all shields in place. Keep away from moving parts.
•
NO RIDERS! Keep all people and pets a safe distance away. Look behind and
down to both sides of the tractor before and while backing up.
•
DO NOT direct the mower discharge at people. Never walk or stand on the
discharge side of the mower when the engine is running. Turn off the PTO if
another person approaches while you are operating the mower.
OPERATION
position but not into the START
•
Avoid slopes where possible. Never operate on slopes greater than 15°.
Slopes with a greater incline present dangerous operating conditions.
Tractors can be rolled over. Always mow across slopes, never up and down
the slope. Avoid turning downhill if possible, start at the bottom and work
up to the top. Use extra care and go slowly when turning downhill. Control
the speed and direction of the zero turn machine "primarily" with the
speed/directional control (lap bar) of the downhill side of the machine, i.e.,
maintain the uphill side lap bar "essentially" in a fixed position.
•
Before leaving the operator's seat: Shut off the PTO, move the RH and
LH drive control levers fully outward in the neutral position, engage the
parking brake, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key. Wait for all
movement to stop before servicing or cleaning.
•
When operating this mower, in the forward direction, do not allow the
steering levers to return to neutral on their own. Operate the drive control
levers smoothly and avoid any sudden movements of the levers when
starting and stopping. Keep a firm grip on the control levers.
•
Be careful when operating near gravel paths and roadways. Stop the blades
and tractor motion and wait for vehicles to pass before operating along the
road.
•
Do not operate the tractor with the mower deck removed. Removal of the
deck will change the balance of the tractor, and could contribute to a tractor
rollover.
•
Avoid operation on traction surfaces that are unstable; use extreme caution
if the surface is slippery. Always remove debris and other objects from the
area to be mowed - debris and loose grass will reduce traction.
•
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
•
Watch for holes, sprinkler heads, and other hidden hazards.
•
Avoid driving too close to trees, creeks, ditches, sand traps, and other
obstacles.
•
Slow down before turning and come to a complete stop before any zero turn
maneuver.
•
If you hit a solid object while mowing, turn off the PTO, place the steering
levers in the neutral, opened-out position, move the throttle to slow, set the
parking brake, shut off the engine, and take the key from the ignition switch.
Inspect for damage. Repair the damage. Make sure the blades are in good
condition and that the blade bolts are tight before restarting the engine.
•
Do not stop the tractor or park the tractor over combustible materials such as
dry grass, leaves, debris, etc.
•
Keep the mower and especially the engine and hydraulic components clean
and free of grease, grass, and leaves to reduce the chance of fire and permit
proper cooling.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank when the engine is running or while the engine is
hot. Allow the engine several minutes to cool before refueling. Tighten the
fuel cap securely.
Checking the Safety Interlock Circuits
Periodically check the safety interlock circuits to ensure they are working properly.
If a safety circuit is not working as designed, contact you dealer to have the tractor
inspected. DO NOT operate the tractor if any safety circuit is not functioning
properly. To check the safety circuits, proceed as follows:
1.
Pull the PTO switch upward to the engaged position. Momentarily turn the
ignition switch to the START
2.
Move both control levers fully inward in the neutral position; then lift
upward from the operator's seat. The engine should stop.
3.
With both control levers fully outward in the neutral/parking brake engaged
position, engage the PTO. Lift upward from the operator's seat; the engine
should stop.
14
position; the engine should not crank.
