4.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES_________________________________________________
A Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) for this tractor is available as an optional accessory. Seat belts must be worn
whenever a ROPS is installed on the tractor. Always keep seat belt snugly adjusted. DO NOT use seat belts on a tractor
without a ROPS.
If a ROPS is installed and the tractor is overturning, hold onto the steering wheel. Do not attempt to jump out or leave the
seat.
CAUTION:
To help prevent injury, always wear safety glasses, leather work shoes or boots, a hard hat, and ear

protection. Long hair, loose clothing or jewelry may get tangled in moving parts.
1. Under no circumstances should the engine be started
without the operator seated on the tractor.
2. Do not operate tractor or attachments with loose,
damaged or missing components. Whenever possible
mow when grass is dry.
3. First mow in a test area to become thoroughly familiar
with the operation of the tractor and control levers.
Note:To prevent damage to the mower and bedknife
never operate the mowers when they are not cutting
grass. Excessive friction and heat will develop between
the bedknife and mower and damage the cutting edge.
4. Study the area to determine the best and safest
operating procedure. Consider the height of the grass,
type of terrain, and condition of the surface. Each
condition will require
precautions. Only use accessories and attachments
approved by Textron Turf Care and Specialty Products.
5. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders,
nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation.
The owner/operator is responsible for injuries inflicted
to bystanders and/or damage to their property.
CAUTION: Before mowing, pick up all debris
!
such as rocks, toys and wire which can be
thrown by the machine. Enter a new area
cautiously. Always operate at speeds that allow
you to have complete control of the tractor.
6. Use discretion when mowing near gravel areas
(roadway, parking areas, cart paths, etc). Stones
discharged from the implement may cause serious
injuries to bystanders and/or damage the equipment.
7. Disengage the drive motors and raise the implements
when crossing paths or roadways. Look out for traffic.
