SAFETY

WOODS

WARNING

for wheel weights or counterweights to improve

stability.

MOWING SLOPES

Slopes are a major factor in

loss-of-control and tipover

accidents that sometimes lead

to severe injury or death. All

slopes require extra caution.

Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS)

•

Fixed and folding Rollover Protection Structures

(ROPS) are available as optional accessories for

this machine.

–

Do not mow on slopes if

uneasy or uncertain. Ultimate reponsibility for

safe operation on slopes rests with the operator.

•

If a ROPS is installed and the machine is

overturning, hold onto the steering levers. Do

not attempt to jump out or leave the seat. Wear

the seatbelt.

–

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

With ride-on machines, including articulated

steering machines, mow up and down slopes, not

across, except for zero turn machines. Zero turn

machines should mow across slopes.

SEAT BELT USEAGE

Fixed ROPS

–

With walk-behind machines, always mow across

slopes, not up and down.

•

WEAR the seat belt whenever a ﬁxed ROPS is

installed. Always keep seat belt snugly adjusted.

DO NOT use seat belts on a machine without a

ROPS.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires

lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed

slowly straight down the slope.

–

With a zero turn machine, if tires lose traction

going down a slope, steering control may be

regained by speeding up.

Folding ROPS

ROPS in Vertical Position

•

The ROPS should be in the vertical position for

normal operation. WEAR the seatbelt when the

ROPS is in the vertical position.

Mid-mount zero turns (belly mounted deck) have

much greater traction pointed up slope than

down slope. Be aware that traction may be lost

going down a slope. Do not operate a mid-mount

zero turn on slopes it cannot back up.

ROPS in Folded Position

–

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and

gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed

or direction.

•

A folding ROPS allows the overall height of the

machine to be reduced for increased clearance

to get into a low ceiling height trailer or under low

hanging branches. DO NOT wear the seatbelt

when the ROPS is folded. Stop the machine and

restore the ROPS to the vertical position as soon

as the need for increased clearance is past.

–

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then

turn slowly and downhill when possible.

Stay away from slopes if the ground is loose or if

caught in the rain during mowing.

Use lower speeds on a slope to avoid stopping or

shifting.

Use extra care with grass catchers or other

attachments. These can change the stability of

the machine.

A ROPS is a Roll Over Protective Structure. It is

intended to provide protection to the operator in

the event a machine turns over in the course of

operation. It is not designed or made to provide

protection for a machine that is driven off an

embankment, retaining wall or similar structure or

terrain feature. A ROPS does not replace the need

to exercise care when operating on slopes.

–

Avoid driving over ruts, holes, rocks and roots

whenever possible. Be alert to dips and rises.

Uneven terrain can overturn a mower or cause it

to slide.

–

Do not mow dropoffs, ditches or embankments.

The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel

runs over the edge or an edge caves in.

–

Do not ﬁll containers in a vehicle or on a truck or

trailer bed with a plastic liner. Fill containers on

the ground away from the vehicle.

–

Do not dismantle the machine without releasing

or restraining forces which may cause parts to

move suddenly.

–

When practical, remove gas powered equip-

ment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the

ground. If equipment must be refueled on the

truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container

rather than a dispenser nozzle.

–

Provide adequate support for lifted machine or

parts if working beneath.

Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating

parts.

–

Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim

of the fuel tank or container opening until fuel-

ing is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open

Reverse movement - To move the machine straight

back, pull both traction levers back equally from their

neutral position. Reverse speed increases as the

levers are moved back farther. Maximum reverse

speed is reached when the levers hit the rear of the

forward-reverse slot. When moving in reverse, push-

ing the levers forward slows the machine, and the

machine stops when the neutral position is reached.

NOTE: Reverse is spring loaded to return to neutral.

This spring resistance may be felt when moving the

traction levers into reverse. When the levers are

released in reverse, spring tension will slowly return

them to the neutral position.

apart. True zero radius turns about the center of the

machine are made by having one lever in reverse

while the other is in forward. By varying the relative

positions of the two levers, the rate of turn is varied to

suit the mowing situation.

Forward movement - To move the machine straight

ahead, push both traction levers forward equally from

their neutral position. Forward speed increases as

the levers are moved farther forward from the neutral

position. Maximum forward speed is reached when

the levers hit the front of the forward-reverse slot.

When traveling forward, pulling the traction levers

rearward slows the machine, and the machine stops

when the neutral position is reached.

Slow down before making sharp turns. The machine

is capable of turning very rapidly when the levers are

moved further apart from each other. Loss of control

and/or turf damage may result.

OPERATING NOTES

DRIVING

1. With the PTO disengaged, move the parking

brake to OFF.

– Practice at slow engine and travel speeds with the

PTO off until fully familiar with the controls.

2. Move both traction levers out of neutral lock.

– For normal cutting the throttle should be set at

the full open position. By using the traction levers

to speed up or slow down the machine during

use,maximum control and cutting efﬁciency can

be maintained.

3. Push both traction levers forward evenly to drive

forward in a straight line. Pull both traction levers

back evenly to drive backward in a straight line.

4. Steering - Move one lever forward and one back.

– Using the machine at less than full throttle in

heavy conditions will cause the engine to labor

and result in excessive wear tothe engine and

hydraulic system.

Turns during forward movement:

–

Right turn - move the right traction lever back

toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.

–

Left turn - move the left traction lever back to-

ward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.

Turns during reverse movement:

–

Reverse right turn - move the right traction lever

forward toward neutral to slow the right drive

wheel.

–

Reverse left turn - move the left traction lever

forward toward neutral to slow the left drive

wheel.

Use caution when making turns. Slow down before

making sharp turns to help maintain control and to

prevent torn turf from skidding or spinning tires. To

help prevent turf damage, keep both drive tires mov-

ing whenever a turn is made.

TIP: The best way to make a sharp "zero" turn

is to come to a stop, get the machine moving in

reverse with both drive wheels and then powering

the machine around with the outside wheel. This

technique keeps the drive tires turning and results in

less turf damage.

CUTTING

1. Place the discharge chute in the down position or

correctly ﬁt a grass collector or mulcher plate.

DANGER

2. Sit in the seat.

3. Start the engine.

4. Turn the blades on by pulling up on the PTO

switch. Do not start the blades at full throttle.

Instead, use the slowest throttle setting that will al-

low the engine to pick up the blade load to reduce

the wear on the belts and electric clutch.

ROTATING BLADES

–

KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY.

STOP ENGINE AND LET BLADES STOP

BEFORE REMOVING GRASS COLLEC-

TOR OR UNCLOGGING.

5. After the blades are rotating, set the throttle to

maximum. Use the traction levers to obtain the

required cutting speed, to steer around obstacles

and to turn at the end of a cut.

AREAS

DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT CHUTE,

MULCHER OR ENTIRE GRASS COL-

LECTOR IN PLACE.

– When mowing large areas, start by turning to the

right so that clippings will be discharged away

from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After two or

three rounds, mow in the opposite direction, left

hand turns, until ﬁnished.

– If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed

twice, the ﬁrst cut relatively high, the second cut to

the desired height.

– Use the left side of the mower for trimming.

– Choose cutting directions so that clippings are

thrown onto areas that already have been cut.

This method results in the most even distribution

of clippings and more uniform, better appearing

cuts.

– Use a different mowing pattern each time a prop-

erty is cut where possible. This helps prevent

rutting and leads to a more uniform cut by keeping

the grass from always laying the same way.

CHECK DAILY

Operator Presence Interlock System - Start Operation

For the engine to crank, the parking brake must be on, the PTO (blades) off and traction levers in the neutral

lock position. Sit in the seat and check, one by one, if the engine will crank with the parking brake off, the

blades on, and either traction lever out of neutral lock.

Operator Presence Interlock System - Run Operation

The operator must be in the seat for the engine to run with the parking brake off, the traction levers moved out

of the neutral lock position, or the blades on. To check:

1. Start the engine and run at 1/2 throttle with the operator on the machine but raised off the seat.

2. One by one: move the parking brake to the OFF position, traction levers out of the neutral lock position

(check each independently), and turn the blades on. Each check should kill the engine after 1/2 second.

(A 1/2 second delay is built into the system to prevent engine cutout when traversing rough terrain.)

Repair machine before using if the Operator Presence Interlock System does not operate correctly in start or

run. Contact your authorized Schiller Grounds Care, Inc. dealer.

Hardware

Tighten any nuts and bolts found loose. Replace any broken or missing cotter pins. Repair any other prob-

lems before operating.

Tire pressure

Tires should be kept inﬂated at 14 lbs/in²(1.0 kg/cm²). Improper tire inﬂation can cause rapid tire wear and

poor traction. Uneven inﬂation can cause uneven cutting.

BATTERY

4. Check the electrolyte level every 100 hours of

operation.

Battery acid is caustic and fumes

are explosive and can cause serious injury or death.

5. Clean the cable ends and battery posts with steel

wool. Use a solution of baking soda and water

to clean the battery. Do not allow the solution to

enter into the battery cells.

Use insulated tools, wear protective glasses or

goggles and protective clothing when working with

batteries. Read and obey the battery manufacturer’s

instructions.

6. Tighten cables securely to battery terminals and

apply a light coat of silicone dielectric grease to

terminals and cable ends to prevent corrosion.

Keep terminal covers in place.

Be certain the ignition switch is OFF and the key has

been removed before servicing the battery.

1. Verify battery polarity before connecting or dis-

connecting the battery cables.

2. When installing the battery, always assemble

the RED, positive ( + ) battery cable ﬁrst and the

ground, BLACK, negative ( - ) cable last.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Fluid level in the hydraulic system should be checked

after the ﬁrst 5 hours of operation, and every 100

hours thereafter, or when a leak has occurred. If the

ﬂuid is low, check all components for leaks.

To check, remove reservoir cap M. The ﬂuid level

should be at the bottom of the ﬁller tube. If low, top

up (do not overﬁll). Use one of the oils listed below:

–

SAE 15W40 motor oil

SAE 20W50 motor oil

15W50 synthetic motor oil

AFTER FIRST FIVE (5) HOURS

1. Remove plug N to drain hydraulic reservoir. Dis-

pose of used oil in accordance with local require-

ments.

2. Clean and replace the plug.

3. Change hydraulic oil ﬁlter G.

4. Fill the reservoir with fresh oil to the bottom of

the reservoir ﬁller tube, using an oil from the list

above. Do not overﬁll.

PERIODIC OIL CHANGES

Change the hydraulic ﬂuid and hydraulic ﬁlter

after each 500 hours of operation using the same

procedure given above.

NOTES:

View from below machine

Before servicing the hydraulic system, stop the engine,

disconnect spark plug wires and disengage the PTO.

–

After any hydraulic line is opened, plug or cap it

promptly to reduce the risk of contamination.

Do not use sealant tape on hydraulic pipe ﬁttings.

Use a liquid sealant that will dissolve into the

system.

–

Make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and

hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition

before applying pressure to system.

The machine's hydraulic system operates under high

pressure. When checking for leaks, do not use your

hands to attempt to ﬁnd a leak. Instead, use card-

board or paper. Escaping hydraulic ﬂuid can be under

sufﬁcient pressure to penetrate skin and cause serious

injury. If hydraulic ﬂuid is injected into the skin, it must

be promptly removed by a doctor familiar with this form

of injury or gangrene may result.

2. Balance the blade at the center.

3. Attach a 1/8 oz (3.9 g) weight at a distance 5"

(127 mm) from center on the light end. This

should make the light end the heavy end:

–

If it does, the blade is balanced.

If does not, ﬁle or grind the heavy end until

the addition of the weight makes the light end

the heavy end.

BLADE INSTALLATION

1. Wear thickly padded gloves to prevent cuts from

the sharp blade.

2. Insert the blade bolt, in order, through the conical

washer (cup side toward the blade, as shown),

the blade, and the blade spacer.

3. Install assembly on the blade spindle.

4. Torque the blade bolt to 70 ft-lbs.
