5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If you are not completely familiar with the Safety Instruction Manual read
it now before proceeding with the operation of the mower. REMEMBER
THERE ARE CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN THIS MANUAL THAT
YOU MUST NOW TAKE BEFORE STARTING THE MOWER.
5.1 Inspect Mower Before Each Use
Inspection of Mower: Do not use the mower if any parts are not maintained in good operating condition.
Examine all moving parts prior to each use. Look for excessive wear, bald drive tires or worn out front tires
(normally smooth), cracks in parts, loose or missing bolts, cotter, linchpin or “hair” pins or cable yoke pins
and replace before operating the mower. Make sure all safety equipment provided with the mower is in good
operating order, including all warning decals and the operator-presence device which stops the engine and
blades when the foot-operated Operator Presence Control (OPC) switch is released. To test the OPC, follow
the instructions given later in this manual. Inspect the two anti-tip rollers and their respective bolts at the rear
of the mower for tightness and proper operation. Ensure that all parts of the Quad-Lever™ control system
are tight and secure. This is to reduce the possibility that the mower could have a loss of control or safety.
Basic Operation: The following procedures are to guide you through the basic operation of the mower. You
should be a qualified mower operator according to the safety section of this manual. If this is your first time,
operation should only be done with the assistance of your dealer on a level area. You should go through
each step, in the order indicated, every time you start the mower.
