Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of
control and tip-over accidents which can result
in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra
caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you
feel uneasy on it, do not mow or drive on it.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included
as part of this manual to measure slopes before
operating this rider on a sloped or hilly area. If
the slope is greater than 12 degrees as shown
on the slope gauge, do not operate this rider
on that area or serious injury could result.
Do:
1.
Set the parking brake when sitting on an
incline with the power key off.
2.
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
3.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain
could overturn the rider. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
4.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough
speed setting so that you will not have
to stop while on the slope. Tires may
lose traction on slopes even though the
brakes are functioning properly. This
rider uses regenerative braking on the
drive motor to help slow it down.
5.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation
for wheel weights or counterweights to
improve stability.
6.
Use extra care with grass catchers or
other attachments. These can change
the stability of the rider.
7.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow
and gradual. Do not make sudden
changes in speed or direction. Rapid
engagement or braking could cause
the front of the rider to lift and rapidly
flip over backwards which could cause
serious injury.
8.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If
tires lose traction, turn off the blade(s) and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Do Not:
1.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary;
then, turn slowly and gradually downhill,
if possible.
2.
Do not turn the power key off on an
incline without setting the parking
brake.
3.
Do not mow or drive near drop-offs,
ditches or embankments. The rider
could suddenly turn over if a wheel is
over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an
edge caves in.
4.
Do not try to stabilize the rider by
putting your foot on the ground.
5.
Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
6.
Do not mow or drive on wet grass.
Reduced traction could cause sliding.
7.
Do not press the Start/Stop button and
coast downhill. Over-speeding may
cause the operator to lose control of the
rider resulting in serious injury or death.
8.
Do not tow heavy pull behind
attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart,
lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than
5 degrees. When going down hill, the
extra weight tends to push the rider and
may cause you to loose control (e.g. rider
may speed up, braking and steering
ability are reduced, attachment may
jack-knife and cause rider to overturn).
Children
1.
Tragic accidents can occur if the
operator is not alert to the presence of
children. Children are often attracted to
the rider and the mowing activity. They
do not understand the dangers. Never
assume that children will remain where
you last saw them.
a.
Keep children out of the mowing
area and in watchful care of a
responsible adult other than the
operator.
b.
Be alert and turn rider off if a
child enters the area.
c.
Before and while backing, look
behind and down for small children.
d.
Never carry children, even with the
blade(s) shut off. They may fall off
and be seriously injured or interfere
with safe rider operation.
e.
Use extreme care when
approaching blind corners,
doorways, shrubs, trees or other
objects that may block your
vision of a child who may run into
the path of the rider.
f.
To avoid back-over accidents,
always turn off the cutting
blade(s) before traveling in
Reverse. If equipped, the
"Reverse Caution Mode" should
not be used when children or
others are around.
g.
Remove key when rider
is unattended to prevent
unauthorized operation.
2.
Never allow children under 14 years of
age to operate this rider. Children 14 and
over should read and understand the
instructions and safe operation practices
in this manual and on the rider and
should be trained and supervised by an
adult.
Towing
1.
Tow only with a rider that has a hitch
designed for towing. Do not attach towed
equipment except at the hitch point.
2.
Follow the manufacturers
recommendation for weight limits for
towed equipment and towing on slopes.
3.
Never allow children or others in or on
towed equipment.
4.
On slopes, the weight of the towed
equipment may cause loss of traction
and loss of control.
5.
The maximum tongue weight on the
hitch is 50 lbs. and the maximum towed
weight is 250 lbs.
6.
Always use extra caution when towing
with a rider capable of making tight
turns (e.g. "zero-turn" ride-on rider).
Make wide turns to avoid jack-knifing.
7.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance
to stop.
8.
Do not press the Start/Stop button and
coast downhill.
Service
General Service
1.
Remove key and store rider indoors
when not in use. Allow motors to cool
before storing in any enclosure. Rider
should be stored indoors in a dry place,
out of reach of children.
2.
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery may
create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
3.
Do not use the charger in the rain.
4.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting,
make certain the blade(s) and all moving
parts have stopped.
5.
Never douse or hose the rider with
water. Avoid getting any liquid in the
motors and electrical connections.
Clean the rider after each use. Refer
to cleaning and storage. Do not use
solvents or strong detergents.
6.
To reduce fire hazard, keep the motor(s)
free of grass, leaves and debris build-up.
7.
Periodically check to make sure the
blade(s) come(s) to complete stop within
(5) five seconds after operating the blade
on/off button. If the blade(s) do not stop
within the this time frame, your rider
should be serviced professionally by an
authorized service dealer.
8.
Check brake operation frequently as
it is subjected to wear during normal
operation. Adjust and service as
required.
9.
Check the blade(s) and mounting
bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s)
for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent,
cracked). Replace the blade(s) with
the original equipment manufacturer's
(O.E.M.) blade(s) only. "Use of parts
which do not meet the original
equipment specifications may lead to
improper performance and compromise
safety!"
10.
Rider blade(s) are sharp. Wrap the blade
or wear gloves, and use extra caution
when servicing them.
11.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to
be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
12.
Never tamper with the safety interlock
system or other safety devices. Check
their proper operation regularly.
13.
After striking a foreign object, stop the
rider, remove the key and thoroughly
inspect the rider for any damage. Repair
the damage before operating the rider.
14.
Never attempt to make adjustments or
repairs to the rider while the power key
is ON.
15.
Grass catcher components and the
discharge cover are subject to wear and
damage which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown.
For safety protection, frequently check
components and replace immediately
with original equipment manufacturer's
(O.E.M.) parts only. "Use of parts which
do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!"
16.
Maintain or replace safety and
instruction labels, as necessary.
