SAFETY  
• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden  
changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.  
Protect Children  
• Use extra care while operating machine with grasscatchers or other  
attachments, they can affect stability of the machine. Do not use on steep  
slopes.  
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, or bodies of water.  
The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the  
edge caves in.  
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or  
counterweights for added stability when operating on slopes or using front  
or rear mounted attachments. Remove weights when not required.  
• Drive machine very slowly and avoid quick stops when attachment is  
removed.  
• Transport machine with decks lowered to improve stability.  
Use Seat Belt Properly  
• Death or serious injury can occur when young children associate having  
fun with a lawn mowing machine simply because someone has given  
them a ride on a machine.  
• Children are attracted to lawn mowing machines and mowing activities.  
They don’t understand the dangers of rotating blades or the fact that the  
operator is unaware of their presence.  
• 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  
machine.  
• Tragic accidents with children can occur if the operator is not alert to the  
presence of children, especially when a child approaches a machine from  
behind. Before and while backing up, stop mower blades and look down  
and behind the machine carefully, especially for children.  
• Never carry children on a machine or attachment, even with the blades  
off. Do not tow children in a cart or trailer. They can fall off and be  
seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.  
• Use a seat belt when operating with the folding Roll-Over Protective  
Structure (ROPS) in the upright position to minimize chance of injury from  
an accident, such as an overturn.  
• Never use the machine as a recreational vehicle or to entertain children.  
• Never allow children or an untrained person operate the machine.  
Instruct all operators not to give children a ride on the machine or in an  
attachment.  
• Do not use a seat belt when operating with the folding ROPS in the  
folded position. Return the folding ROPS to the upright position as soon as  
possible.  
• Keep children indoors, out of the mowing area, and in the watchful eye  
of a responsible adult, other than the operator, when a mower is being  
operated.  
• Never modify, disassemble or attempt to repair the seat belt.  
• Replace entire seat belt if mounting hardware, buckle, belt, or retractor  
show signs of damage.  
• Stay alert to the presence of children. Never assume that children will  
remain where you last saw them. Turn the machine off if a child enters the  
work area.  
• Inspect seat belt and mounting hardware at least once a year. Look for  
signs of loose hardware or belt damage, such as cuts, fraying, extreme or  
unusual wear, discoloration, or abrasion. Replace only with replacement  
parts approved by your Great Dane.  
Avoid Tipping  
• Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over  
accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all  
slopes requires extra caution.  
• Layers of heavy clothing can interfere with proper positioning of the seat  
belt and can reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt.  
Keep ROPS Installed Properly  
• If you feel uneasy on a hillside, do not mow it.  
• Mow across slopes, not up and down.  
• Make certain all parts of the ROPS are installed correctly if the ROPS  
structure is loosened or removed for any reason. All ROPS hardware  
should be tightened to the proper torque per manufacturer’s  
recommendations.  
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven  
terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.  
• Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to stop or shift while on  
a slope.  
• Any alteration of the ROPS must be approved by the manufacturer. The  
protection provided by the ROPS will be impaired if the ROPS is subjected  
to structural damage, is involved in an overturn incident, or is in any way  
altered by welding, bending, drilling, or cutting.  
• Do not mow or operate machine on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.  
Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning  
properly.  
• Never attempt to repair a damaged or altered ROPS. It must be  
replaced to maintain the manufacturer’s certification of the structure.  
• Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction,  
disengage the blades and proceed slowly, straight down the slope.

SAFETY  
signals according to local regulations. Extra flashing warning lights may  
need to be installed.  
Keep Riders Off  
• Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.  
Checking Wheel Hardware  
• Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by foreign objects  
or thrown off the machine causing serious injury.  
• A serious accident could occur causing serious injury if wheel hardware  
is not tight.  
• Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the machine being  
operated in an unsafe manner.  
• Check wheel hardware tightness often during the first 100 hours of  
operation.  
Avoid High Pressure Fluids  
• Wheel hardware must be tightened to specified torque using the proper  
procedure anytime it is loosened.  
Wear Appropriate Clothing  
• Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age,  
and exposure. Check hoses and lines regularly. Replace damaged hoses  
and lines.  
• Hydraulic fluid connections can loosen due to physical damage and  
vibration. Check connections regularly. Tighten loose connections.  
• Always wear safety goggles, or safety glasses with side shields, and a  
hard hat when operating the machine.  
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious  
injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting  
hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.  
• Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate for the job.  
• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do  
not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.  
• Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from  
high pressure fluids.  
• Wear a suitable protective device such as earplugs. Loud noise can  
cause impairment or loss of hearing.  
• If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into  
the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may  
result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a  
knowledgeable medical source.  
Maintenance and Storage  
Driving Safely on Public Roads  
• Never operate machine in a closed area where dangerous carbon  
monoxide fumes can collect.  
• Disengage drives, lower implement, lock parking brake, stop engine and  
remove key or disconnect spark plug (for gas engines). Wait for all  
movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing.  
Avoid personal injury or death resulting from a collision with another  
vehicle on public roads:  
• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives, mufflers, and engine to  
help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.  
• Use safety lights and devices. Slow moving machines when driven on  
public roads are hard to see, especially at night.  
• Let engine cool before storing and do not store near flame.  
• Whenever driving on public roads, use flashing warning lights and turn

SAFETY  
• Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store fuel near flames  
or drain indoors.  
• Do not store machine near an open flame or source of ignition, such as  
a water heater or furnace.  
• Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained personnel to  
service machine. Understand service procedure before doing work.  
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.  
Replace if necessary.  
• Use jack stands or lock service latches to support components when  
required. Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for  
service work.  
Tire Safety  
• Before servicing machine or attachment, carefully release pressure from  
any components with stored energy, such as hydraulic components or  
springs.  
• Release hydraulic pressure by lowering attachment or cutting units to  
the ground or to a mechanical stop and move hydraulic control levers back  
and forth.  
• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug (for gas engines) before  
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive  
last. Reconnect positive first and negative last.  
• Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and  
use caution when servicing them. Only replace blades. Never straighten  
or weld them.  
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and long hair away from moving  
parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running.  
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or  
death:  
• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away from spark and  
flames. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting from battery.  
Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.  
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and  
experience to perform the job.  
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened.  
Replace all worn or damaged decals.  
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above  
the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire  
assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a  
tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.  
• Check grasscatcher components and the discharge guard frequently  
and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.  
Grasscatcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration  
which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.  
• When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long  
enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the  
tire assembly.  
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, to be  
sure the equipment is in safe working condition.  
• Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing  
lug bolts and nuts.  
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.  
• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause  
other blades to rotate.  
Handling Fuel Safely  
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in  
handling fuel. Fuel is extremely flammable and fuel vapors are  
explosive:  
Prevent Fires  
• Remove grass and debris from engine compartment and muffler area,  
before and after operating machine, especially after mowing or mulching  
in dry conditions.  
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.  
• Use only an approved fuel container. Use only non-metal, portable fuel  
containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the  
American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). If using a funnel, make  
sure it is plastic and has no screen or filter.  
• Empty the grasscatcher completely before storing.  
• Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting machine, if the  
machine has a fuel shutoff.

OPERATING  
• Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel with the engine running.  
Allow engine to cool before refueling.  
Handling Waste Product and Chemicals  
• Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the machine indoors. Move machine  
outdoors and provide adequate ventilation.  
• Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change  
clothing immediately. If fuel is spilled near machine, do not attempt to start  
the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage. Avoid  
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.  
• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame,  
spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliance.  
Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries,  
can harm the environment and people:  
• Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids - someone may drink  
from them.  
• See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn how to  
recycle or get rid of waste products.  
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on  
chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and  
emergency response techniques. The seller of the chemical products  
used with your machine is responsible for providing the MSDS for that  
product.  
• Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Static  
electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors in an ungrounded fuel container.

2.Allow engine to cool.  
Service Miscellaneous  
3.Remove any trash from area around fuel tank cap.  
4.Remove fuel tank cap slowly to allow any pressure built up in tank to  
escape.  
Using Proper Fuel  
Use regular grade unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 87 octane or  
higher. Fuel blends containing up to 10% ethanol or up to 15% MTBE  
reformulated fuel are acceptable. Do not use fuel or additives containing  
methanol as engine damage can occur.  
5.Fill fuel tank only to bottom of filler neck.  
6.Install fuel tank cap.  
Always use fresh, clean fuel that is purchased in a quantity that can be  
used within approximately 30 days, or add fuel stabilizer.  
Checking Tire Pressure  
Fuel is blended to give best seasonal performance. To avoid engine  
performance problems such as hard starting or vapor lock, use in-season  
fuel. Use fuel during warm weather that was purchased during that  
season, and use fuel during cold weather that was purchased during that  
season.  
Fuel can become stale in machines with engines that are used seasonally  
or infrequently during a season. Stale fuel can produce varnish and plug  
carburetor components which can affect engine performance.  
Keep fuel storage container tightly covered and in a cool area out of direct  
sunlight. Fuel can break down and degrade if not sealed properly or  
exposed to sun and heat.  
Condensation may collect in the fuel tank because of a variety of  
operating or environmental conditions and, over time, may affect your  
machine’s operation. Fill fuel tank at the end of daily use and store fuel in  
plastic containers to reduce condensation.  
For best year-round performance and fuel-handling, add stabilizer to fuel  
immediately after fuel purchase. Such practice helps prevent engine  
performance problems and allows fuel storage in the machine all year  
without draining.  
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim  
parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:  
•Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper  
equipment and experience to perform the job.  
Filling Fuel Tank  
•Do not inflate the tires above the recommended  
pressure.  
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Fuel vapors are explosive and  
flammable:  
•Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can  
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an  
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform  
the wheel.  
•Shut engine off before filling fuel tank.  
•Do not smoke while handling fuel.  
•Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when  
inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long  
enough to allow you to stand to one side.  
•Keep fuel away from flames or sparks.  
•Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well ventilated area.  
•Clean up spilled fuel immediately.  
1.Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)  
2.Check tires for damage.  
•Use clean approved non-metal container to prevent  
static electric discharge.  
3.Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.  
4.Add air, if necessary:  
•Use clean approved plastic funnel without screen or  
filter to prevent static electric discharge.

Check Fluid Levels  
NOTE: Refer to the Service sections of the operator’s manual for  
information regarding check locations and proper fluid levels.  
• Check engine oil level.  
• Check hydraulic oil level.  
Check Tire Pressure  
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim  
parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:  
•Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper  
equipment and experience to perform the job.  
•Do not inflate the tires above the recommended  
pressure.  
4.Fold ROPS to the upright operating position and install lock pins (D) and  
spring pins (E).  
•Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can  
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an  
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform  
the wheel.  
•Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when  
inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long  
enough to allow you to stand to one side.  
1.Check tires for damage.  
2.Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.  
3.Add or remove air, if necessary.

For a complete checkout procedure of the safety interlock system, see  
Testing the Safety Interlock System in the Operating section.  
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Machine component is heavy. Use a  
safe lifting device or get an assistant to help lift and hold  
component into place for installation.  
Initial Adjustments  
NOTE: Using a tapered drift will aid in the alignment of mounting  
holes and ease installation of cap screws.  
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Clear area of all bystanders before  
performing this service procedure.  
1.Check free-wheel valves on both pump assemblies to make sure that  
the valves are closed. Tighten valves to 108-163 N•m (80-120 lb-ft).  
2.Raise the rear of the machine until the drive wheels are off the ground.  
Support the machine with jackstands.  
CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain  
carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.  
•Move the machine to an outside area before running the  
engine.  
•Do not run an engine in an enclosed area without  
adequate ventilation.  
5.Lay ROPS on the ground, slide it up to the bumper and align the  
appropriate hole in the ROPS flange with the lower rear mounting holes in  
the machine frame and bumper. Install an M10 cap screw, removed  
earlier, through the hole from the inside and secure loosely with an M10  
locknut (F).  
•Connect a pipe extension to the engine exhaust pipe to  
direct the exhaust fumes out of the area.  
•Allow fresh outside air into the work area to clear the  
exhaust fumes out.  
6. Remove cap screw (C).  
3.Start and run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.  
NOTE: Take care when raising ROPS to avoid damaging paint on  
bumper.  
4.Move control levers to the forward position and observe drive wheel  
rotation; the drive wheels should rotate in the correct direction.  
5.Move the control levers to the reverse position and observe drive wheel  
rotation; the drive wheels should rotate in the correct direction.  
6.Move PTO clutch switch to on position; mower clutch should engage.  
Run blades for several minutes.  
7.Move PTO clutch switch to off position and shut the engine off.  
8.Check all belts for proper tension.  
9.Start the engine and test drive the machine in an open area. Drive the  
machine forward; if the machine drifts to the right or left, adjust the  
transmission control linkage.  
Specifications  
7.Using the lower rear bolts as a pivot, raise ROPS to the vertical position,  
and install remaining cap screws and locknuts (F) on each side. Tighten all  
ROPS mounting hardware to 80 N•m (59 lb-ft).  
Engine
