Seat Belt Inspection
Figure 2-1. 
 WARNING
Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes, 
slick  or  wet  surfaces.  Allow  extra  distance  to 
stop.
Stay  off  of  slopes  too  steep  for  safe  operation. 
To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the 
cutter deck down). If the machine can not back 
up the slope without the wheels slipping, do not 
operate  the  machine  on  this  slope.  Under  no 
circumstances should the machine be operated 
on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
DO  NOT  mow  near  drop-offs,  ditches  or 
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll 
over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge 
caves in.
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns, 
starts or stops on a slope.
NEvER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed 
equipment  may  cause  loss  of  traction  and  loss 
of control.
DO  NOT  permit  untrained  personnel  to  operate 
the machine.
Be  cautious  when  loading  and  unloading  onto 
trailers or trucks.
Use only a full width ramp.
Ramp  angle  should  be  no  more  than  15 
Degrees.
Back up the ramp and drive down forward.
ROLL-OvER PROTECTION SYSTEM
2.5 
 WARNING
The seat belt must be securely fastened during 
operation. Failure to do so could cause serious 
injury or loss of life.
This  mower  has  been  designed  for  good  traction  and 
stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution 
must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the 
grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces 
traction and steering control.
Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST 
NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could 
result in injury or death.
The  potential  exposure  of  the  seat  belt  to  severe 
environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat 
belt system regularly.
It  is  recommended  that  the  seat  belt  be  inspected  on  a 
daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that 
shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant 
discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion 
to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch 
plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be 
replaced immediately.
 WARNING
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat 
belt can cause serious injury or loss of life.
Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for 
1. 
cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-1.
Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to 
2. 
ultra violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or 
dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these 
areas is extremely faded and/or is packed with dirt, 
the physical strength of this webbing may have 
deteriorated. If this condition exists, replace the seat 
belt system.
Check the buckle and latch for proper operation 
3. 
and determine if the latch plate is excessively worn, 
deformed, or if the buckle is damaged or cracked. 
See Figure 2-1.
