SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
1.6  
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE T424 MOWER, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT  
OPERATORS STUDY IT FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY.  
THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS.  
A CAREFUL OPERATOR WHO USES COMMON SENSE IS THE SAFEST OPERATOR.  
TRAINING  
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Learn  
how to stop the mower quickly in an emergency.  
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower. Local regulations  
may restrict the age of the operator.  
Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.  
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or  
their property.  
Do not carry passengers.  
All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should emphasise:  
The need for care and concentration when working with this machine.  
-
-
The need to slow down when making tight turning manoeuvres. Failure to take adequate care can affect  
stability leading to loss of control of the machine particularly when operating in transport mode.  
-
Control of a ride-on-machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by application of the brake.  
The main reasons for loss of control are:  
- Insufficient wheel grip.  
- Being driven too fast.  
- Inadequate braking.  
- The type of machine is unsuitable for the task.  
- Lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes.  
- Incorrect load distribution.  
PREPARATION  
Check that the machine complies with all applicable regulations, including those in force when used on  
the public highway.  
While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when  
barefoot or wearing open sandals. Eye protection should be worn.  
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which can be  
thrown by the machine.  
Never operate the machine without first checking that the operator platform latching mechanism is fully  
engaged and in good working order, refer - ‘OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM’.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
PREPARATION  
Continued.  
Ensure that the cutterheads are fully raised with the latches and safety locks engaged in position before  
transporting the mower.  
Replace faulty silencers.  
Check the condition of the tyres and ensure that they are inflated to the correct pressures, refer -  
SPECIFICATIONS.  
This is particularly important if the machine is to be taken on the public highway.  
Check that the mower is in good working order, paying particular attention to the brakes and steering.  
Also ensure that the forward/reverse speed control pedals move freely to neutral when released.  
Before use, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutting cylinders are not worn  
or damaged. Replace worn or damaged components.  
Check the mower hydraulic system, particularly the hydraulic hoses, fittings and hose supports. Worn,  
crushed or damaged hoses can burst, with risks to health and damage to the machine and surrounding  
turf areas.  
After refuelling and adding oil to the hydraulic oil tank ensure that the caps are replaced securely.  
Check that all linkages, connections and pivot nuts are secure and that wheel nuts are torqued correctly,  
refer - SPECIFICATIONS.  
Before operating the machine, ensure that there are no foreign objects or liquids on the platform or ped-  
als - ALWAYS KEEP THE OPERATOR PLATFORM CLEAR/CLEAN.  
OPERATION  
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.  
Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.  
Before attempting to start the engine, engage the parking brake, disengage the cutterhead drive system  
and ensure that the forward/reverse speed controls are in the neutral position.  
Never operate the machine without first checking that the operator platform latching mechanism is fully  
engaged and in good working order, refer - OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM.  
Stored energy devices are charged when the outer wing units are in the transport position. Always oper-  
ate the relevant lift controls to provide hydraulic support for the wing units suspensions before attempt-  
ing to release the transport latches.

OPERATION  
Continued.  
Do not use on a slope of more than 19 degrees. Care should be taken when using the mower on any slope  
where ground conditions are such that there may be a risk of the mower rolling over. The requirements  
of SI 1998 No. 2306 “Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations” should be considered.  
R.O.P.S (Roll Over Protective Structures) are available, refer to INTRODUCTION - Optional Extras.  
Stability angles given are maximum figures and are for guidance only. Particular conditions such as wet  
grass or uneven ground may not permit safe operation on the slope limits stated.  
Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To  
guard against overturning or loss of traction when travelling or mowing on a slope:  
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Exercise extreme care when changing direction on a slope.  
Do not stop or start suddenly.  
Engage drive slowly.  
Keep machine speed low.  
Avoid tight turns.  
Stay alert for humps, hollows and other hidden hazards.  
Keep away from sharp inclines and steep drops.  
A thorough risk assessment should be carried out by a competent  
person before travelling or mowing on a slope.  
Never park on a slope.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
OPERATION  
Continued.  
Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.  
Use extreme caution when reversing.  
Disengage the cutterhead drive system before crossing surfaces other than grass.  
When using the machine, never direct the discharge of material towards bystanders or allow anyone  
near the machine while in operation.  
Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields or without safety protective devices in place  
and in good working order.  
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at excessive  
speed may increase the risk of personal injury.  
Before leaving the operator's position:  
- Disengage the drive to the cutterheads.  
- Lift cutterheads to the transport position and securely lock the safety latches  
or alternatively lower cutterheads to the ground.  
- Change into neutral and set the parking brake.  
- Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.  
Engage the parking brake, disengage the drive to the cutterheads, stop the engine and remove ignition  
key :  
- Before releasing blockages.  
- Before checking, cleaning or working on the mower.  
- After striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower for damage and make  
repairs before restarting and operating the equipment.  
- If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally ( check immediately ).  
- Before refuelling.  
- Before making cutterhead adjustments.  
Disengage the drive to the cutterheads when transporting or not in use.  
Reduce the throttle setting during engine run - out.  
Never work on the mower when the engine is running.  
Always keep feet and hands well away from the cutting cylinders when making adjustments.  
Never operate the mower without first checking that the operator platform is securely latched.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE  
Take care when rotating a cutting cylinder as this can cause other cylinders to rotate.  
When the machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lift the cutterheads to the transport position  
and engage the safety locks or lower the cutterheads to the ground.  
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.  
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.  
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer, fuel tank and battery compartment free of grass,  
leaves or excessive grease.  
Frequently check fuel lines and fittings for cracks or leaks and replace if necessary.  
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.  
Ensure that all safety decals are properly secured and in good condition.  
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.  
Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades  
and fixed parts of the machine.  
Never attempt to disconnect any part of the hydraulic system before de-pressurisation. This may be  
achieved by lowering all cutterheads to the ground, stopping the engine and removing the ignition key.  
Avoid skin or eye contact with hydraulic or diesel fluids. Wear protective clothing.  
Leaking fluids under pressure can penetrate the skin or eyes, causing serious injury.  
Always use a piece of cardboard or paper when searching for leaks.  
Health and Safety at Work Act:  
In accordance with section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the T424 Turf Mower has been  
designed and constructed so that, in so far as is reasonably practical, it will not endanger the safety and  
health of those working with it. This is, however, subject to the machine being properly used and  
maintained according to the conditions stated in this manual and elsewhere, which have been found  
necessary as a result of the research and testing of Hayter Limited.

INTRODUCTION  
INTRODUCTION  
The Hayter T424 Mower is a diesel engine powered self propelled machine with hydraulic systems for ground  
drive, cutterhead drive, cutterhead lift and steering. The machine operates in four wheel drive at all times, how-  
ever, the transmission system can be operated in both ‘work’ and ‘transport’ modes. These modes can be select-  
ed by the operator. In order to optimise machine performance and reduce transmission system wear it is advis-  
able to operate the machine in the appropriate mode. ‘Work’ signifies cutting operations and ‘Transport’ signi-  
fies travelling between work sites. A differential lock function may be selected.  
The Hayter T424 Mower is a precision built machine designed solely for cutting grass and similar low lying  
ground vegetation within the limitations stated in this manual. Use in any other way is considered as contrary  
to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service and repair as  
specified in this Operators Manual also constitute essential elements of the intended use. The way in which this  
machine is operated and maintained will have a profound effect on its performance and reliability.  
This manual contains advice on the Hayter T424 Mower which should be operated, serviced and repaired only by  
persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics and who are acquainted with the relevant safety proce-  
dures.  
The safety precautions listed herein and all other generally recognised regulations on safety and all road traffic reg-  
ulations must be observed at all times.  
Any arbitrary modifications carried out to this machine may relieve Hayter Limited of liability for any resulting dam-  
age or injury.
