2.1. Follow all the safety signs on the front mower and
all the manufacturer’s instructions before starting
the front mower. If you do not, it may result in
body injuries.
2.2. Pay attention to the caution labels on the front
mower, mower deck and collector and observe
the instructions they give to avoid physical
injuries.
2.3. Ensure that all operators are responsible
individuals who have read the instructions or
been fully trained on the safe operation of the
front mower.
SF225, 237
2.4. All operators should evaluate their health and
ability to operate a front mower safely enough to
protect themselves and others from serious injury.
Do not operate the front mower while you are
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
FIG. 1-2
2.5. Understand how to properly and safely operate
and maintain the front mower. Seek and obtain
practical instruction on how to operate and
maintain the front mower properly.
2.6. Be sure to use necessary protective devices such
as headgear, safety glasses, safety shoes, ear
plugs, gloves, etc.
2.7 Wear appropriate protective clothing and
equipment when you are operating, adjusting,
or servicing the front mower, such as safety
glasses, long pants, substantial footwear, and ear
protection. Long hair, loose clothing, or jewellery

2.10. Never use the front mower out of normal usage
even if it is not mentioned at this operator's
manual.
3. BEFORE STARTING THE FRONT MOWER
3.1. Set up an operation plan with sufficient time
allowance. A tight plan may result in unexpected
accidents. Especially when operating the front
mower under extremely hot, cold, or humid
circumstances, set up an operation schedule or
method which will ensure operational safety.
3.2. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
Mowing in the dark may cause unexpected
accidents.
3.3. Thoroughly inspect the mowing area and remove
all objects from the mowing area that the front
mower can throw, such as stones, toys, sticks,
and wires, which may lead to serious accidents.
3.4 Ensure that there are no people or pets in the
area where you will mow. Keep children out of
the mowing area and under the watchful care of a
responsible adult.
3.5. Do not operate the front mower unless the
operator’s presence controls, safety switches,
and guards are attached and functioning properly.
3.6. Start the engine from operator's seat.
3.7. Before starting the engine, make sure that
everything is safe around the front mower and
put the traction drive in neutral, set parking brake,
and disengage the cutting unit (s). Otherwise,
unexpected accidents may occur.
FIG. 1-4
 CHAPTER 1. FOR SAFE OPERATION

3.8. Start the engine with the starter switch only.
Never attempt to start the engine by shorting the
terminals, or the front mower may move abruptly,
and result in unexpected accidents.
3.9. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Sufficient ventilation should be provided when
starting the engine in an enclosed area.
4. OPERATION OF THE FRONT MOWER
4.1. When the front mower is running, stay away from
the discharge opening, the cutting unit(s), and all
moving parts.
4.2. During operation, never allow anyone, especially
children, and animals to be in the vicinity of
the front mower. Do not direct the discharge at
anyone.

FIG. 1-5
3.10. Make sure of safety around the front mower and
move slowly when starting. Abrupt starting may
cause unexpected accidents.
FIG. 1-6
4.3. When you are working with co-workers, be sure
to alert them by signalling before you take a new
action.

3.11. Become familiar with the operation, particularly,
the stopping of the front mower. You should be
skillful enough to be able to stop the front mower
at will.
3.12. Use only attachments and accessories approved
by the manufacturer and install and operate them
as directed.
3.13. When your front mower is equipped with an
implement other than a standard mower deck
such as a collector, a cabin, etc., never fail to
ask your dealers about machine balance. Always
follow their advice.
4.4. When operating the front mower, you should be
seated in the operator's seat properly, hold the
steering wheel by both hands, and look in the
direction in which the front mower advances.
Avoid looking a side or holding the steering wheel
by one hand during operation.
4.5. Always be sure to operate the front mower from
the driver's seat with seat belt. Never attempt to
get on or off the front mower while it is travelling.

3.14. Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for the accidents or hazards caused
by the front mower to other people or their
property.

3.15. Inspect the front mower for wear or damage.

Replace any worn or damaged parts.

3.16. Especially before starting the mower, be sure

to perform advised pre-operation inspections
especially on the brakes and inspect visually
to see that the blade and blade tightening nuts
are not worn, damaged or loose. Replace worn
or damaged blade and nuts as an assembly to
preserve blade balance. Otherwise, poor braking
or scattered broken blades may result, which is
very dangerous.
7
SF225, 237
4.6. Slow down before turning the front mower.
Turning at high speed may cause the front mower
to turn over.
FIG. 1-7
4.7. Do not mow on wet grass. The front mower may
slide.
4.8. Never attempt to depress the diff-lock pedal while
turning around the front mower. Turning with the
diff-lock on may cause the front mower to turn
over.
4.9. Look down and behind you and ensure a clear
path before you move the front mower backward.
4.10. Do not mow while moving backward unless it is
absolutely necessary.
4.11. Never operate the front mower in terrain where
there are ditches, holes, or steps easy to
collapse. In such a place, the front mower could
turn over or fall.
FIG. 1-8
4.12. Before making access to moving parts, stop the
engine, and keep your hands, feet, clothing,
accessories and etc. away so as not to be caught
in the moving parts of the front mower.
4.13. Be alert when you approach blind corners and
objects that may obscure your vision. Watch
8
for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
4.14. Never rest a foot on the brake pedal. If so, the
brakes disc wear rapidly, which may lead to
serious accidents.
4.15. Travelling set with the cruise pedal should be
restricted only to operations in spacious, flat
areas with an unobstructed view and used with
the range shift lever always kept in the low speed
position.
4.16. Never attempt to do the mowing operation without
the discharge cover in place or with the cover left
open.
4.17. Never attempt to operate without the drive shaft
cover in place.
4.18. Do not attempt to adjust the cutting height while
the engine is running.
4.19. Adjust the cutting height with the gauge wheels
in accordance with the condition of the ground
surface at the working site. Mowing on rough
ground with low cutting height may cause
the blades to hit soil or stones, which is very
dangerous.
4.20. If you strike an object or if the front mower
vibrates abnormally, stop the front mower
immediately, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and inspect the cutting unit (s). Make all repairs
before you resume operation.
4.21. Be sure to keep the grass discharging part
clean. A clogged discharging part may cause the
discharge cover to open, resulting in scattering of
grass and stones, which is very dangerous.
4.22. Never allow grass or leaves to accumulate
around heated parts such as the engine and the
muffler, or this may cause a fire.
4.23. Before moving the front mower to another place,
be sure to stop the mower blades and lift up the
mower deck. Otherwise, they may hit stones and
scatter them around, which is very dangerous.

4.24. When driving over a levee or step, stop the
mower blades, lift up the mower deck, and move
the front mower straight to the levee and make it
climb over slowly. Avoid climbing over a levee too
high, or the front mower may fall sideways or turn
over.
FIG. 1-9
4.25. Stop the cutting unit(s) when you are crossing
gravel areas
4.26. Watch for traffic when you are operating the
front mower near a roadway or when crossing a
roadway.4.27. Never attempt to use
the front mower to draw an implement or a trailer.
It is not designed to draw a load.
4.27. Stay alert and stop the front mower if people or
pets enter the area.
4.28. Do not carry passengers
FIG. 1-10
4.29. Never carry children, even when the cutting
means are not moving. Children may fall off
the front mower and become seriously injured
or prevent you from operating the front mower
safely. Children who have been given rides in the
past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed over by
the front mower.
9
CHAPTER 1. FOR SAFE OPERATION
4.30. If you use the lawn mower for long time, make
sure to take rest every 2 or 3 hours.
4.31. When you hear thunder, stop the lawn mower and
move indoors immediately. If you cannot move
indoors, get to low place. Otherwise, you can be
struck by lightning.
4.32. Before stopping the engine, be sure to lower the
mower deck onto the ground, apply the parking
brakes and turn the PTO switch to the OFF
position.
4.33. Before leaving the operating position of the front
mower for any reason, always do the following:
- Stop the front mower on level ground.
- Stop the cutting unit(s), disengage PTO, and
lower the attachment(s).
- Disengage the drive(s).
- Apply the parking brake. In order to maximize the
performance of the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal, and then apply the parking brake.
- Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.
5. OPERATION ON A SLOPE
DANGER: Slopes are a major factor related
to accidents with front mowers, resulting in
severe injuries.
We cannot recommend the front mower with mower
FIG. 1-11
deck be operated on a slope. All slopes require extra
caution; no slope is safe.
You can lose control of the front mower on a slope
because of one of the following:
- the wheels lack traction; you are driving the front
mower too fast.
- you are not braking properly; the front mower type is
not suited for the task.
- you are unaware of the ground conditions (especially
slopes).
- you incorrectly hitch an attachment or distribute a load
SF225, 237
If the front mower has to be used on a slope, DO NOT
use it on a slope of more than "12° ". Even if using it
on a slope of less than "12° ", be sure to abide by the
following instructions.
A slope angle of 12° is specified with the front mowers
equipped with the attachments mentioned respectively.
- The front mower is not equipped with any attachments
or a cabin than a standard mower deck and collector.
- The front mower is equipped with a standard mower
deck and collector
Grass catchers and other attachments can change
the stability of the front mower. Follow the instructions
for adding weight to improve the stability of the front
mower. When your front mower is equipped with an
implement other than standard, such as a cabin, etc.,
never fail to ask your dealer about machine balance.
Always follow their advice.
The ROPS is a safety device.
- ‌Keep the ROPS in the vertical and locked position.

rotating parts. (1) Negative cord (2) Positive cord

(2) Before manipulating electric parts, be sure to
disconnect the earth battery cable (-), or you may
get an electric shock or be injured by sparks.
(3) Loosen electric terminals or connectors may not
only lower electrical performance but also cause
short circuit or leakage of electricity, which may
lead to a fire. Promptly repair or replace damaged
wiring.

(4) Remove chaff or dust from the battery, wiring,

muffler or engine. Otherwise it could result a fire.

FIG. 1-19

11.2. TO HANDLE THE BATTERY

(1) When working around the battery, avoid smoking.
The battery generates explosive hydrogen and
oxygen gasses when it is being charged. Keep
the battery away from sparks or open flames.

14

(2) The battery should be inspected before starting
the engine. Be careful not to touch the electrolyte
makes contact with the skin or clothing, wash
it off immediately with water and then consult a
doctor.
(3) When replacing or inspection the battery, stop the
engine and turn the main switch off, or electrical
parts may be damaged or unexpected accident
may occur.
(4) W h e n d i s c o n n e c t i n g t h e b a t t e r y c a b l e s ,
disconnect the earth cable (-) first without fail.
When connecting the battery cables, connect
the positive cable (+) first. Disconnecting or
connecting in wrong order may lead to a short
circuit or sparks.
11.3. TO HANDLE BOOSTER CABLES
When using booster cables, pay attention to the
following items for safe operation:
(1) Before connecting cables, remove the vent plugs.
This will lower the force in case of explosion.
(2) Before connecting cables, be sure to stop the
engine. Otherwise unexpected accidents may
occur.
(3) Use booster cables with sufficient electrical
capacity. A cable of inadequate capacity will cause
generation of heat, which may lead to a fire.
12. TIRES AND WHEELS
12.1. Be sure to keep tire pressures at the levels
specified in this manual. Excessively high tire
pressure may result in explosion, which may lead
to physical accidents.
FIG. 1-20
15
CHAPTER 1. FOR SAFE OPERATION
12.2. If a cut is found in a tire and the cut reaches the
cords, do not use it. Such a tire may explode.

3. CONTROL PEDALS & LEVERS
3.1. BRAKE PEDAL (1)
The front mower stops travelling by depressing this
pedal.
3.2. HST FORWARD TRAVEL PEDAL (2)
Depress this pedal, and the front mower starts moving
forward. Forward travelling speed is controlled only by
depressing it: forward travel accelerates and decelerates
by how much the pedal is depressed.

(1) Brake pedal
(2) HST forward travel pedal
(3) HST reverse travel pedal
(4) Diff-lock pedal
(5) Parking brake lever
(6) Tilt lever
3.3. HST REVERSE TRAVEL PEDAL (3)
Depress this pedal, and the front mower starts moving
backward. The buzzer sounds when the front mower
is moving to backward. Reverse travelling speed
is controlled only by depressing it: reverse travel
accelerates and decelerates by how much the pedal is
depressed.
IMPORTANT: After a long time of use, the neutral po-
sition of the HST unit may be changed,
44
which will cause various troubles such
as difficulty in stopping the front mower,
changing over between forward travel
and reverse travel, etc., which is very
dangerous.
When the HST units is out of order, ask
your dealer to repair it. The adjustment
of neutral position of the HST unit should
be done by your dealer.
3.4. DIFF-LOCK PEDAL (4)
To minimize the turning radius of the front mower, the
differential gear system is installed, which causes the
right and left driving wheels to turn at different speed
when turning. On the other hand, it causes the wheels to
slip on wet grass or soft ground. In such a case, lower
engine speed and depress the diff-lock pedal, and both
wheels turn at the same speed, which results in
straighter travelling.
FIG. 5-24
CAUTION:
・Never use the diff-lock when travelling at
high speeds.
・It is very dangerous to attempt to turn
the front mower with the diff-lock pedal
depressed. When turning the front mower,
be sure to release the diff-lock pedal.
・When the diff-lock is not released despite
releasing the diff-lock pedal, stop the
front mower immediately and ask your
dealer to repair.

n. Continue the warming up of front mower at least for
5 minutes.

IMPORTANT: ・N ever turn the starter key to the
START position after the engine starts,
otherwise the starter motor will be
damaged.
・Insufficient idling time will cause poor
lubrication of the engine due to high
viscosity of engine oil, which will lead
to a shorter life of the engine.
CAUTION:
During engine warming up, be sure to apply
the parking brake to avoid the front mower
travelling unexpectedly
NOTE: Warming up criteria and atmospheric tempera-
tures:
Atmospheric temperatures Required warming up
Higher than 0 ℃ (32°F) 5 to 10 minutes
0 ℃ to -10℃ (32°F to 14°F) 10 to 20 minutes
-10℃ to -20℃ (14°F to -4°F) 20 to 30 minutes
Lower than -20℃ (-4°F) more than 30 minutes
CAUTION: Never start travelling with the
parking brake applied, otherwise the brake
performance will deteriorate soon or, even
worse, the brake system could break down.
In the worst case, the brake system
may cause fire by heated brake drum if
inflammable around the brake system is not
properly removed.
3. TRAVELLING
CAUTION:
・Before having become sufficiently familiar
with the operation of the front mower, be
sure to operate it in a spacious, flat and
unobstructed place with good visibility,
and confirm the function of each control.
・Check the place to mow beforehand for
bumps, ditches, mounds, steps, slopes,
inclination, softness, water pools and
etc. in order to avoid accidents such as
turnover, fall, side-sliding of the front
mower.
a. Start the engine. (Refer to Chapter 7.2)
b. Depress the brake pedal fully.
CAUTION:
・Before having become sufficiently familiar
with the operation of the front mower,
operate it at the LOW speed position.
・W hen travelling on bumps, ditches,
mounds, steps, inclination softness,
waterhole, etc, select the throttle lever at
the LOW speed position.

CHAPTER 7. OPERATION
c. (When mowing): Move the throttle lever to the HIGH
speed position to accelerate the engine.
(When travelling): Move the throttle lever to the HIGH
speed position.
d. Shift the mower lift lever to UP position to lift up the
mower deck from the ground.
e. When front mower is attaching a collector, be sure
to lower the container.
CAUTION:
・Starting to travel at high speeds without
lifting up the mower deck will cause the
mower blades to hit stones or stocks,
which may result in break-down of the
front mower or serious accidents.
・When starting to travel, be sure to lower
the container. Otherwise it may cause the
front mower to turn over, which is very
dangerous.
f. Make sure that the parking brake lever is released.
g. Release the brake pedal gradually.
IMPORTANT: For your safety, before moving forward
the front mower, check the conditions in
front of and around the front mower.
h. The steering wheel is very light to turn, for the
steering system is assisted hydraulically. Naturally
the front mower turns to right when the steering
wheel is turned clockwise and vice versa.
CAUTION:
・Never attempt to turn the steering wheel
abruptly when travelling at high speed,
which is very dangerous.
・N ever attempt to make a sharp turn on
a slope. Slow down sufficiently and turn
the steering wheel slowly to prevent the
mower from turning over or falling down.
i. Depress the HST forward travel pedal softly,
and then the front mower starts travelling. When
reversing the front mower, depress the HST reverse
travel pedal softly, and then the front mower starts
reversing slowly. Buzzer sounds when front mower
is moving to backward.
CAUTION:
・Never attempt to depress the HST pedal
suddenly, otherwise the front mower will
dash, which is very dangerous.
・Before changing travelling directions, be
sure that the front mower has stopped
travelling completely.
・W hen reversing, make sure the safety
conditions behind the front mower.

IMPORTANT: ・Be sure to shift the 4WD lever to the
"AUTO" position when operating on
level ground, as level ground opera-
tion with the 4WD selected leads to a
larger turning radius and may cause
turf damage.
・W hen shifting the 4WD lever, slow
down the travelling speed below 1 km/
h and make the machine go straight.
CAUTION: Park the front mower on flat,
level ground and make sure that the parking
brake is applied securely. In order to
maximize the performance of the parking
brake, depress the brake pedal, and then
apply the parking brake.
d. Shift the mower lift lever, 6, to DOWN position to
lower the mower deck onto the ground.

CAUTION: When operating the front mower CAUTION: When stopping the front mower,
on a slope, be sure the 4WD lever is locked lower the mower deck onto the ground
in the 4WD position from the reasons without fail to avoid unexpected accidents.
mentioned below:

In the AUTO position the mechanism shifts to 2WD

automatically when the peripheral speed of the front
wheels exceeds that of the rear wheels, which means
loss of rear wheel driving power.

For example, when moving uphill if the front wheels

slip, the mechanism stays in 4WD. But moving downhill
if the front wheels slip and lose grip, and begin to slip
down the slope, it shifts to 2WD, that is, braking effect
of the HST unit is lost, which means loss of front mower
control.

6. STOPPING THE ENGINE
a. Move the throttle lever,1, to the low speed position
to reduce engine speeds.
b. Turn the starter switch to the OFF position to stop
the engine.
IMPORTANT: ・N ever attempt stopping the engine
abruptly when it is running at high
speeds, except for emergency case.
・Be sure to let the engine idle for about
5 minutes after a longtime operation
and then stop the engine. Abrupt en-
gine stopping may lead to overheat-
ing.
c. Remove the starter key from the starter switch.
CAUTION: When you leave the front mower,
be sure to stop the engine and remove the
starter key to prevent the front mower from
starting unexpectedly by children or
unauthorized people.

FIG. 7-6
(1) DPF regeneration request lamp/switch
(2) DPF regeneration inhibit lamp/switch
Regeneration is the procedure of removing the soot
deposits from the diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DPF
regeneration procedure includes these modes:
- Normal mode:
(Soot load is less than 80%)
There are no restrictions on the machine operation.
The DPF lamp (1) is not illuminated.
- Automatic regeneration mode:
(Soot load is 80% - 99%)
The regeneration procedure is started automatically and
takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
If the engine is turned off during the regeneration
when the engine starts again.
The DPF lamp (1) is not illuminated. During DPF
regeneration, exhaust gas becomes hot and the Exhaust
gas high temperature lamp illuminates.
- Manual regeneration mode (Stage 1):
(Soot load is 100% -119%)
When the DPF regeneration request lamp is blinking
and the buzzer sounds, the amount of soot increased
because automatic regeneration was not performed or
was insufficient. The machine needs to be parked and
the manual regeneration is required.
Stop the machine in a safe parking place and apply the
parking brake to activate the brake switch, return the
throttle to low idle, and push the manual regeneration
request switch (1) for 3 seconds or more to start the
manual regeneration.
The lamp (1) is still blinking however the buzzer sound
will stop, the DPF Warm-up process started and the
engine speed automatically increases to 2300rpm.
When the DPF warm-up is completed, the lamp (1) is
light on and the "Exhaust gas high-temperature Lamp"
turns on. The manual DPF regeneration starts.
SF225, 237

During DPF regeneration, exhaust gas becomes hot and

the Exhaust gas high temperature lamp illuminates

When the regeneration procedure is complete the both

lamps will turn off and normal operation can start again.

NOTE: If the parking brake is not applied or the water

temperature is below 30°C, DPF warm-up will
not start.

- Manual regeneration mode (Stage 2):

(Soot load is120% - 139%)
The process is same as stage 1, but with limited output.
Engine speed is reduced to 1 500 rpm. Output is
reduced to 50%.

- Overload (Stage 1):

(Soot load is 140% - 159%)
If the DPF lamp flashes, the buzzer sounds, and the
engine Diagnosis lamp comes on, it is excessive soot
loaded. The regeneration procedure must start at dealer
to use ISEKI engine service tool.

- Overload (Stage 2):

(Soot load is over 160%)
The DPF is completely clogged. Need to change the
DPF.

CHAPTER 8. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:(SF237)
・Low-ash engine oil (Oil quality: higher
than API standard CK-4) must be
used. Using not applicable engine oil
would cause early DPF clogging due
to the ash “Ash” is the material addi-
tives contained in engine oil.
・After finishing the maintenance includ-
place the engine oil. Because there is
a possibility of fuel mixing with engine
oil, and oil viscosity decreases.
・Never replenish with a different kind of
oil. The addition of different kind of oil
will deteriorate the quality of the origi-
nal oil.
・The oil level should not exceed the up-
per limit. Excessive oil will cause en-
gine trouble.
・U se oil of the quality recommended
by ISEKI or 10W-30 CC grade of SAE
classification or higher quality.
・U se oil of proper viscosity in accor-
dance with the atmospheric tempera-
ture.

SF225, 237
replenish distilled water from the refill plug (2) to raise
the level to the upper limit.
・Be sure to connect the battery terminals correctly.
・The wiring from the battery should be kept clean and
connectors tight. Dirty or loose wiring may cause a
fire.

WARNING:
・T he battery generates very explosive
gases, so avoid smoking and keep sparks
and open flames away from the battery.
Charging the battery should be done in a
place well ventilated to disperse explosive
gasses as quickly as possible.
・Battery electrolyte is very corrosive and
will cause burns, so if it splashes on skin
or clothes, wash it off immediately. If acid
contacts eyes, flush immediately with
clean water and get medical attention.
CAUTION:
・N e v e r a t t e m p t t o k e e p o n u s i n g o r
charging the battery with an electrolyte
level lower than the limit, or the battery
may explode or its service life be
shortened due to deterioration inside the
casing.
・T he electrolyte level should always be
kept between the upper and lower limits.
A too high level will cause the electrolyte
to overflow and corrode other parts.
■ HANDLING OF THE BATTERY
a. A
 s atmospheric temperature lowers, the performance
of the battery also lowers. Consequently, the battery
should be serviced with special care in wintertime.
68
b. A
 s the battery discharges even when it is not used, it
should be charged every month or every other month
at least.
c. W
 hen storing front mower for long period without
operation, self-discharge of battery will happen
(especially in winter). If the front mower is stored for
more than 1 month, the battery minus terminal should
be disconnected.
When operating for the first time or after long term
storage, check if the battery charge level is enough. (If
voltage is more than 12.5V.) When the front mower is
stored more than 6 months, charge the battery.

・When replacing the battery, use a bat-
tery of the same capacity as that of the
current one
・When using booster cables, take suf-
・Do Not throw away the battery to the
garbage can. Recycle it to follow the
law of your community.
22. WHEEL TIGHTENING BOLTS AND NUTS
Check the wheel tightening bolts and nuts for looseness
All bolts and nuts should be tightened to the specified
torque.
Specified tightening torque (Bolt):
Front wheel: 45.1N･m ～ 57.9N･m
(460kgf･cm ～ 590kgf･cm)
Rear wheel: 127.2N･m ～ 147.2N･m
(1 298kgf･cm ～ 1 502kgf･cm)
Tighten the bolts near the maximum level and tighten
again so that the groove and hole aligned together,
insert the cotter pin through the hole and groove, sprit
the edge of it.
23. TIRE PRESSURE (INFLATION)
Improper tire pressure causes abnormal wear of the
tires and affects the front mower performance. Too high
pressure causes the front mower to bounce too much
and too low-pressure increases travelling resistance,
which leads to power loss.
Tire pressure should be checked every day.
Tire size Pressure
Front: 23x10.5-12 140 kPa (1.4kgf/cm2)
Rear: 18x8.5-8 154 kPa (1.54kgf/cm2)
 CHAPTER 8. MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
・Tire inflation should be set to the values 1
specified in this manual. Excessive
inflation may cause explode, which may
result in serious accidents.
・Insufficient pressure in the tires causes
uneven tire wearing that can shorten tire
lifetime.
・W hen a tire, tube, or rim is required
for replacement, ask your dealer. Such
operation should be done by a trained
mechanic especially for tire handing.
・Never use a tire with a cut or crack which
reaches tire cords as such a tire may
explode. FIG. 8-44

24. STEERING / TOE-IN

Start the engine and turn the steering wheel lightly in

both directions to check the wheel turns smoothly.

Make sure the tire toe-in is set properly. Inappropriate

toe-in can result in abnormal tire wear and unstable
tearing.

- Abnormal smell
- Blade hitting an obstacle
- The front mower hitting an obstacle
・The cause of trouble should be found and corrected
immediately and consult your dealers. Never attempt
to keep on operating the front mower without finding
and correcting the cause of trouble.
・When the operator leaves the seat, the safety system
automatically stops the engine. When leaving the front
mower to remove obstacles such as twigs, pebbles,
etc., the PTO switch must be OFF position and the
parking brake applied, and then the engine keeps on
running.
7. STOPPING MOWING OPERATION
a. Release the HST pedal.
b. Turn the throttle lever to the low speed position to
reduce engine speeds.
c. Depress the brake pedal fully and apply the parking
brakes.
d. Push the PTO switch off, then the blower and Mower
blades will be stop.
e. Turn the key switch to the STOP position to stop the

height.
T he second travelling pass should be shifted
sideways by 20 cm or so, or travel perpendicular to
the first passes, which will result in a beautiful even
finish.

b. When trying to finish in one pass, select a sufficiently

slow travelling speed. It may also be required to set
the cutting width to half or one-third of that for normal
operation.

B. For mowing highly moist grass or mowing on wet
ground
a. If the turf could be damaged by the tires, wait until the
grass and land have dried sufficiently.
b. Wet grass requires a higher grass cutting height
setting than when mowing dry grass, as the cutting
height is often lower than expected during operation
because the front mower sinks.
c. Select a sufficiently slow travelling speed and avoid
sudden starts, turns, and stops. If not, the turf may be
damaged.
