Operation
During Operation Safety
General Safety
-
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
-
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry.
-
Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
-
Do not operate the machine when tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
-
Never carry passengers on the machine and keep bystanders and pets away from the machine during operation.
-
Operate the machine only in good visibility to avoid holes or hidden hazards.
-
Keep your hands and feet away from moving parts.
-
Look behind and down before backing up to be sure of a clear path.
-
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision.
-
Disengage the attachment (if applicable) whenever you are not using it.
-
Stop the machine, shut off the engine, remove the key, wait for all moving parts to stop, and inspect the machine after striking an object or if there is an abnormal vibration in the machine. Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.
-
Slow down and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks with the machine. Always yield the right-of-way.
-
Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.
-
When the attachment is connected to a traction unit and in the raised position, the weight of it affects stability, braking, and steering. Exercise caution when transporting between working areas.
-
Never leave a running machine unattended.
-
Before leaving the operating position, do the following:
-
Park the machine on a level surface.
-
Engage the parking brake.
-
Lower the attachment.
-
Shut off the engine and remove the key.
-
Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the machine.
-
-
Do not operate the machine when there is the risk of lightning.
-
Use Bullseye accessories, attachments, and replacement parts only.
Slope Safety
-
Review the traction unit specifications to ensure that you do not exceed its slope capabilities.
-
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution.
-
Review and understand the slope instructions in the manual and on the traction unit.
-
Evaluate the site conditions to determine if the slope is safe for machine operation, including surveying the site. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.
-
Review the slope instructions listed below for operating the machine on slopes and to determine whether you can operate the machine in the conditions on that day and at that site. Changes in the terrain can result in a change in slope operation for the machine.
-
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
-
Do not operate a machine under any conditions where traction, steering, or stability are in question.
-
Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
-
Be aware that operating the machine on wet grass, across slopes, or downhill may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering.
-
Use extreme caution when operating the machine near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water hazards, or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area between the machine and any hazard.
-
Identify hazards at the base of the slope. If there are hazards, mow the slope with a power walk-behind mower.
-
If possible, keep the attachment lowered to the ground while operating on slopes. Raising the attachment while operating on slopes can cause the machine to become unstable.
-
Use extreme caution with other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause a loss of control. Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not coast downhill (applicable only to gear-drive units).
Operating Tips
-
Brush the field by towing the attachment while driving forward.
-
Do not operate the traction unit in reverse while towing the attachment; otherwise, damage to the traction unit and attachment may occur.
-
Use caution while turning to ensure that the rear tire of the traction unit does not contact the attachment.
-
To optimize performance and life of the product, only operate the attachment when grooming the intended application area.
-
Do not operate the traction unit at speeds greater than 12 km/h (7.5 mph) while towing the attachment.
-
Remove the attachment from the traction unit and store it in the cargo bed of the traction unit while transporting it.
Note: Use 2 people to lift the brush; otherwise, tilt and slide the brush into the cargo bed so that 1 person does not lift the entire weight of the brush.
If the traction unit does not have a cargo bed, transport the attachment using the optional wheel set; contact your authorized distributor.
-
The optimal operation speed will depend on the application of the attachment.
-
After determining the optimal operation speed for the application, maintain that speed consistently.
-
For best results, groom the application area using a slightly overlapping pattern.
Storage
Storage Safety
-
Before adjusting, cleaning, storing, or repairing the machine, park the it on a level surface; engage the parking brake of the traction unit; shut off the engine; remove the key; and wait for all movement to stop before leaving the traction unit.
-
Store the machine on the storage stands positioned on a firm, level surface so that it does not sink or tip over.
-
Store the machine away from areas of human activity.
-
Do not allow children to play on or around the stored machine.
Preparing the Machine for Storage
Important: Do not use brackish or reclaimed water to clean the machine.
When the machine is stored for a long period, do out the following procedure:
-
Clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the machine or any of the moving parts.
-
Touch up any scratches on the painted surfaces.
-
Replace any missing or damaged decals.
-
Store the machine inside a dry, secure building. Inside storage reduces maintenance, gives a longer working life, and increases the residual value of the machine. If inside storage is not available, cover the machine with a heavy sheet or tarpaulin and secure it tightly.
Important: When storing the attachment, do not allow the brush to touch the ground or other objects to avoid bending the bristles.
