[. . . ] Such instruction should emphasize: - the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines; - control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake. The main reasons for loss of control are: a) insufficient wheel grip; b) being driven too fast; c) inadequate braking; d) the type of machine is unsuitable for its task; e) lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes; f) incorrect hitching and load distribution. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral. [. . . ] There are four different positions for this lever: N = Neutral (no drive) S = Slow F = Fast R = Reverse The lever can be moved steplessly between S and F to ensure the required speed. Quick lifting/lowering of the cutting unit Pull the lever backwards to quickly lift the cutting unit when passing over irregularities in the lawn, etc. During transportation the cutting unit shall be in the highest position. There are four different positions for the ignition key: OFF All electric current broken. Reverse Operation System (ROS) - Allows operation of mower deck or other powered attachment while in reverse (See section 5 - "Driving"). Never leave the key in the ignition lock when leaving the machine on its own. To release the parking brake all that is necessary is to push down the brake pedal. To tow or move the tractor without the aid of the engine, the freewheel control knob must be pulled out and locked in position. The wheel is easier to turn if the lever for lifting/lowering of the cutting unit is pulled backwards at the same time. When the engine is cold the choke should be pulled out before starting. When the engine has started and is running smoothly push the choke in. IMPORTANT: The electric dump system may be equipped with an overload protection device. Once the system has reset, ensure that nothing is on top of or against the bagger that could overload the system. Open the bag slightly using the switch and then use a small rake or similar tool to scoop grass out of the bag. Once you have removed the excess load, attempt to dump the bagger using the electric dump system. Switching off the engine move the attachment clutch control to disengaged position. Move the throttle control between half and full speed (fast) position. Lift up the cutting unit and turn the ignition key to "STOP" position. Do not leave the ignition key in the machine when not in use to prevent children and other unauthorized persons starting the engine. Before servicing the engine or cutting unit the following shall be carried out: · Grasp hood at sides, tilt forward and lift off of tractor. NOTE: Periodic maintenance should be performed on a regular basis in order to keep your tractor in good running condition. WARNING: Disconnect spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting before attempting any repair, inspection, or maintenance. [. . . ] Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine is running or while the transmission is hot. ⷠInspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades are intact and clean. TRANSAXLE PUMP FLUID The transaxle was sealed at the factory and fluid maintenance is not required. Should the transaxle ever leak or require servicing, contact your nearest authorized service center/ department. [. . . ]
