Safety

GENERAL WARNINGS

• Know the mower controls, safety rules and how to

stop quickly. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE

MOWER OPERATOR’S MANUAL.

• Read and obey all safety decals.

• Wear appropriate ear, eye and breathing

protection.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar

with the instructions, to operate the unit.

• Disengage the electric clutch (PTO). Shut off the

engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before

attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any part of

the collection system.

• Check the collection system to make sure it is

bolted tightly to the rider.

• DO NOT operate the mower without either the

entire grass catcher or the deflector in place.

• Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the blades

when not mowing.

• DO NOT mow in reverse. Always look down and

behind before and while travelling in reverse.

• DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a

building or any object. Slow down before turning.

• DO NOT carry passengers on the rider.

• When blower assembly is removed from the

mower deck, the deflector must be properly

installed.

• Collector bags are subject to deterioration and

wear during normal use. Inspect the bag

periodically for tears, holes or weak spots and

replace with a new bag that meets manufacturer’s

durability standards.

• If the mower stalls or the turbo blower chute plugs:

1. Disengage the electric clutch (PTO);

2. Stop the engine and remove the key;

3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving

parts to stop.

4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute

with a piece of wood before restarting the

engine. NEVER place hands into blower

housing to clear jammed object. Blower

may rotate when object is removed.

• For added rider stability and to prevent tipping or

loss of control:

a. Use reduced speed on uneven ground and

when turning corners.

b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended

that the collection system be kept no more than

half full when negotiating any slopes. Start

mowing on slopes when the collection system

is empty.

c. Mow across the face of slopes; not up and

down.

• Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6%

(10°).

Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of

control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or

equipment. This mo

wing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.

The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

safely and effectively, we have placed several safety

labels on the unit to remind you of this important

information while you are operating your unit.

All DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and

instructional messages on your rider and mower

should be carefully read and obeyed. Personal bodily

injury can result when these instructions are not

followed. The information is for your safety and it is

important! The safety decals below are on your rider

and mower.

Operation

BEFORE OPERATION

Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other

debris which may be caught or thrown by the mower

blades.

Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the

day. If grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to

become plugged.

For efficient bagging, air circulation under the

mower deck, through the chute and into the bag

is very important.

For this reason, BEFORE YOU BEGIN MOWING

you should make certain the underside of the mower

and the underside of the catcher lid are free from

grass and debris.

Make sure that there is a snug fit between mower

deck, blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher

cover.

MOWING WITH THE DOUBLE /

TRIPLE CATCHER

Always operate with throttle at full speed when

mowing.

Always wear hearing protection when operating

grass catcher.

Grass should be cut often, and not too short. If grass

is too long or lush it may be necessary to keep

ground speed to a minimum or to cut only half the

width of the mower to prevent clogging. If grass is

long, operate with mower in high cutting position for

first pass, cutting again in a lower position on a

second pass.

Do not open the cover with mower engaged.

If a large amount of cut grass is spilling out from

under deck, the tube may be plugged or the bags

may be full— discontinue mowing, stop the rider,

disengage the PTO and then empty the catcher or

clear the tube.

WARNING

ALWAYS shut off the tractor. disengage the

PTO, and allow all moving parts to stop

BEFORE disconnecting or clearing tube, or

emptying catcher.

Before leaving the operator’s position for any

reason, engage the parking brake, disengage

the PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, rider

and mower free of grass, leaves and excess

grease. Do not stop or park rider over dry

leaves, grass or combustible materials.

CAUTION

This machine produces sound levels in

excess of 85 dBA at the operator’s ear

and can cause hearing loss though

extended periods of exposure.

Wear hearing protection when operating this

machine.

Operation

AFTER OPERATION

Remove any debris from the the screen on the

underside of the lid.

Note: The lid screen can be

partially removed for easier cleaning and should be

cleaned regularly.

The blower housing and tube should be removed for

cleaning.

Inspect the grass bags for wear or damage. Make

sure that there is a snug fit between mower deck,

blower housing, tubes, and grass catcher cover.

STORING THE GRASS CATCHER

Clean the grass catcher thoroughly using a mild

detergent (other products may damage the tube).

Remove any debris from the the screen on the

underside of the lid. The screen can be partially

removed for easier cleaning.

If paint has been scratched on metal parts, touch up

with paint, or apply a thin film of oil to prevent

corrosion.

Store in a dry area. Hang the catcher and catcher

bags to dry thoroughly before storing for a long period

of time. Always store away from moisture.

MOWING WITHOUT THE BLOWER

For operation without the blower, the deflector must

be properly installed in the down position.

To remove the blower, reverse the installation steps.

Suspension Adjustment

REAR SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT

For IS1500Z & IS2000Z Models:

The upper mounting position #2 (See Figure 1)

should be used when a rear-mount grass bagger

system is installed.

To adjust the upper mounting position:

1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage

the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking

brake.

2. Raise the rear of the machine and secure with

jackstands. The jackstands must be under the

bumper. Chock the front wheels to prevent the

machine from rolling.

3. Position the jack under the cross member that ties

the suspension arms together and slowly raise the

rear suspension to relieve the pressure on the

upper shock mounting bolts.

NOTE: This will require small adjustments to the

jack’s position. The shock should move freely on the

mounting bolt when the pressure is relieved.

4. Remove the upper shock mounting hardware and

pivot the shock to the position #2 (see Figure 1).

Adjust the jack to align the shock mounts to the

shocks.

5. Reinstall the upper shock mounting hardware and

tighten securely.

6. Remove the jack from under the suspension cross

member.

7. Remove the jackstands from under the machine.

More spring pre-load should be used with heavy

weight operators.

To adjust the spring pre-load:

1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage

the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking

brake.

2. Raise the rear of the machine and secure with

jackstands. Chock the front wheels to prevent the

machine from rolling.

3. Remove the rear drive tires.

WARNING

Use two hands when adjusting the shock

springs. This will prevent the wrench from

slipping while pressure is being applied.

4. See Figure 1. Using the supplied spanner wrench

(p/n 5022853), insert the tip of the wrench into the

notch in the pre-load adjuster. While holding the

wrench in place with one hand, turn COUNTER-

CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-load, turn

CLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-load. Make

sure both shocks are set to the same amount of

pre-load.

5. Reinstall the rear drive tires. Torque the lug bolts

to 85-95 ft/lbs. (115-129 Nm). Remove the

jackstands from under the machine.

NOTE: Spanner wrench is located under the seat on

the right-hand side of the machine.

• Si se atasca la podadora o se obstruye la tolva del

soplador turbo:

1. Desactive el embrague eléctrico (PTO);

2. Detenga el motor y quite la llave;

3. Ponga el freno de mano y espere a que se

detengan todas las piezas móviles.

4. Quite el objeto extraño o limpie la tolva con un

pedazo de madera antes arrancar nuevamente

el motor. NUNCA ponga las manos en la caja

del soplador para quitar un objeto

atascado. El soplador puede girar al quitar

el objeto.

• Para dar mayor estabilidad al montable y evitar

que se vuelque o que pierda el control sobre él:

a. Reduzca la velocidad en terrenos desnivelados

y al girar en las esquinas.

b. Reduzca la carga en las laderas. Se

recomienda que llene el sistema de recepción

sólo a la mitad cuando franquea una

pendiente. Empiece a podar el pasto en la

pendiente con el sistema de recepción vacío.

c. Pode el pasto de la pendiente de un lado a

otro, pero no hacia arriba o abajo.

• Nunca opere en pendientes con una

inclinación superior a 17.6% (10°).

Lea estas reglas de seguridad y sígalas con cuidado. Hacer caso omiso de ellas puede ocasionar la pérdida del control

sobre la unidad, lesiones corporales graves o la muerte a usted o a los espectadores, o daños a la propiedad o al

equipo.

Operación

ANTES DE LA OPERACIÓN

Despeje el jardín de las ramas, piedras, alambres y

otros despojos que puedan quedar atrapados en las

cuchillas de la podadora o que puedan ser lanzados

por las mismas.

Revise la condición del pasto. Si está húmedo,

espere hasta más tarde durante el día. Si el pasto

está húmedo, es probable que se obstruya el

receptor de pasto.

Para que la recepción del pasto en la bolsa sea

eficiente, es muy importante la circulación de

aire debajo de la cubierta de la podadora, a

través de la tolva y hacia la bolsa.

Por eso, ANTES DE EMPEZAR A PODAR

asegúrese de que la parte inferior de la podadora y

de la tapa del receptor estén exentos de pasto o

despojos.

Asegúrese que la cubierta de la podadora, la caja

del soplador, los tubos y la tapa del receptor de

pasto estén debidamente ajustados.

PODAR CON EL RECEPTOR DOBLE

O TRIPLE

Opere siempre con el acelerador en velocidad

máxima cuando pode el pasto.

Use siempre protectores para oídos cuando opere

el receptor de pasto.

Debe poder el pasto con frecuencia y no dejarlo

demasiado corto. Si el pasto es demasiado largo o

abundante, quizá sea necesario mantener la

velocidad de avance al mínimo o cortar sólo la mitad

del ancho de la podadora para evitar que se

obstruya. Si el pasto está muy largo, opere la

podadora en la posición de corte más alta en la

primera pasada, y córtelo de nuevo en la posición

más baja en la segunda pasada.

No abra la cubierta mientras la podadora está

activada

Si sale una gran cantidad de pasto cortado por

debajo de la cubierta, es posible que esté obstruido

el tubo o que las bolsas estén llenas: interrumpa la

actividad, detenga el montable, desactive el PTO y

vacíe el receptor o despeje el tubo

ADVERTENCIA

Apague SIEMPRE el tractor, desactive el PTO y

permita que se detengan las piezas móviles

ANTES de desconectar o despejar el tubo o de

vaciar el receptor.

Antes de dejar el puesto del operador por el

motivo que sea, accione el freno de mano,

desactive el PTO, detenga el motor y quite la

llave.

Para reducir el peligro de un incendio,

mantenga el motor, el montable y la podadora

libre de pasto, hojas y aceite excesivo. No

detenga ni estacione el montable sobre hojas

secas, pasto o materiales combustibles.

PRECAUCIÓN

Esta máquina produce niveles de sonido

por encima de 85 dBA cerca del oído del

operador y pueden originar la pérdida

auditiva cuando se expone al ruido por

períodos prolongados. Protéjase siempre los

oídos al operar esta máquina.

Operación

DESPUÉS DE LA OPERACIÓN

Quite cualquier despojo de la pantalla en la parte

inferior de la tapa. Nota: puede quitar parcialmente la

pantalla de la tapa para limpiarla con mayor facilidad

y debe hacerlo con regularidad.

Debe quitar la caja del soplador y el tubo para

limpiarlos.

Inspeccione las bolsas de pasto para ver si presentan

desgaste o daños. Asegúrese que la cubierta de la

podadora, la caja del soplador, los tubos y la tapa del

receptor de pasto estén debidamente ajustados.

ALMACENAR EL RECEPTOR DE

PASTO

Limpie a fondo el receptor de pasto usando un

detergente suave (otros productos pueden dañar el

tubo). Quite cualquier despojo de la pantalla en la

parte inferior de la tapa. Puede quitar parcialmente la

pantalla para limpiar con mayor facilidad.

Si la pintura en las piezas metálicas está rayada,

retoque con pintura o aplique una capa delgada de

aceite para evitar la corrosión.

Almacénese en una zona seca. Cuelgue el receptor

y las bolsas para que se sequen totalmente antes de

almacenarlos por un período largo de tiempo.

Almacene las piezas en un lugar sin humedad.

PODAR SIN EL SOPLADOR

Para operar la podadora sin el soplador, instale

debidamente el deflector apuntando hacia abajo.

Para quitar el soplador, invierta los pasos de la
