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.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
Keep body and hands away from pinholes or nozzles that
could inject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper
or cardboard, not your hands, to search for leaks! Wear
gloves and safety glasses.
Safely relieve all pressure in the system before
performing any work on the system, and make
sure that:
• The ignition switch is OFF.
• The key is removed.
• The engine spark plug wire(s) is removed.
• All connections to the negative terminal of
the battery are removed.
• The park brake is set.
• All by-pass valves, if so equipped, are open.
• Hydraulic controls are actuated to release
pressure on pumps, cylinders, etc. If "float"
positions are available, they should be used.
After the above operations are completed, it
should be safe to begin disconnecting the lines
or components. It is still a good idea to cover
the connection with a cloth shield and then
gently loosen connections.
WARNING
Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
SurePath Auto Steer Mode
1. To avoid personal injury to you or others,
always use caution and be aware of your
surroundings when using the SurePath
Auto Steer Mode. Stop the machine
immediately if anyone enters the area.
2. The SurePath Auto Steer system will
not detect any objects or obstructions
in the path of the cutting deck or the
machine. Always operate the machine
with care and attention. Stop the
machine immediately or manually steer
the machine around obstacles before
resuming SurePath Auto Steer Mode.
3. This machine is equipped with a
Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS). The
SurePath Auto Steer Mode will not detect
overhead objects such as trees, buildings,
doorways, clothes lines, utility wires, etc.
Be alert for overhead objects that could
be contacted by the ROPS and could
cause machine to tip-over or rollover.
4. You must remain in full control of the
machine when the SurePath Auto Steer
system is activated. You are responsible
for controlling the machine, supervising
the system, and intervening, when
needed. Failure to do so, may result in loss
of control, personal injury, or death.
5. The SurePath Auto Steer Mode is not a
crash avoidance system. The SurePath
Auto Steer Mode will not cause the
vehicle to slow down or stop. Always pay
close attention when using the system.
It does not replace attentive operation
of the machine. You can deactivate the
SurePath Auto Steer Mode at any time by
grabbing the steering wheel and turning
it slightly to the right or left, or press and
hold the SET LINE/ENGAGE AUTO button.
p
racticeS
6. The SurePath Auto Steer Mode will not
detect steep slopes, drop-offs, ponds,
or lakes. Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters)
away from any drop-offs, ponds, or lakes.
Do not operate the machine on slopes
greater than 20° (35%).
7. The SurePath Global Positioning Module
(GPM) will continually monitor the
readiness of the SurePath Auto Steer
system. The Indicator/Warning Lights on
the back of the GPM (on the Light Module)
will indicate the status of the system to
the operator while in use. The operator
must monitor the lights and be prepared
to resume control of the machine. If the
Indicator/Warning Lights flash red, place
hands on steering wheel and be prepared
to steer or stop the machine.
8. The SurePath Auto Steer system GPM
needs to be kept clean and free of any
foreign objects or obstructions which
may affect the ability of the GPS antenna
to receive the satellite signal.
9. To avoid RF exposure above limits
established in the FCC Part 15 Subpart
A, stay at least 20 cm (8 inches) away
from the GPM when the key is in the
ON position.
10. The GPM may lose the GPS satellite
signal or cellular connection at any
time due to heavy tree canopies, large
buildings, poor weather conditions,
electrical interference, dead zones, or
other obstacles. The monitoring system
is designed to be a mowing aid and
does not relieve the operator of the
responsibility to operate the machine
safely and with due care. Failure to
observe the monitoring system could
result in loss of control, property
damage, personal injury, or death. The
monitoring system is not intended to be a
safety device.
11. Do not attempt to make a turn at high
speed when using SurePath Auto Steer
Mode. The system will make smoother
and more accurate turns at lower speeds.
12. Do not use SurePath Auto Steer Mode
when towing an attachment or trailer.
Failure to follow this instruction may
jackknife the towed equipment causing
loss of control, property damage,
personal injury, or death.
13. The SurePath Auto Steer system reset
should be performed while mower is
stopped, and PTO is in the off position.
Holding the trigger for less than 3
seconds will fail to reset line and may shift
the mower back into auto mode if preset
lines are still stored. Damage to mower or
personal injury may result.
14. The SurePath Auto Steer system is
not intended for use when traveling
in reverse.
15. If the SurePath Auto Steer system
malfunctions, stop using the machine, or
disable the system, and have it repaired
by an authorized service dealer as soon
as possible.

Safe Handling of Fuel
To avoid personal injury or property damage
use extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is
extremely flammable and the vapors are
explosive. Serious personal injury can occur
when fuel is spilled on yourself or your clothes
which can ignite. Wash your skin and change
your clothes immediately.
