The safety-alert symbol (Figure 2) shown in this manual and on the machine identifies important safety messages that you must follow to prevent accidents.

Figure 2

Safety-alert symbol

The safety-alert symbol appears above information that alerts you to unsafe actions or situations and is followed by the word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

This manual uses two other words to highlight information. Important calls attention to special mechanical information and Note emphasizes general information worthy of special attention.

• The machine can be towed by most utility tractors equipped with hydraulics producing 26.5 to 30 L/min (7 to 8 gpm) at 13,790 kPa (2,000 psi) and flotation tires for operation over golf greens. Ensure that the tractor has adequate brakes and a drawbar hitch capacity to handle a 1587 kg (3,500 lb) trailer. Refer to the towing vehicle Operator's Manual for towing instructions and precautions.

• The Workman vehicle requires the High-Flow Hydraulics Kit. Workman vehicles with serial numbers prior to 900000001 require the Heavy Duty Drawbar (Model 44212 or 44213) installed.

  Note: The 4WD Workman model is the best for hilly or bermed approaches to greens.

  Important: For older model Workman vehicles, do not attempt to pull the machine when loaded with material, with the standard Workman hitch. It is only rated to 680 kg (1,500 lb) and may bend or damage the cross tube axle support or rear spring shackles. Always use the Drawbar Kit for Heavy-Duty Workman Vehicles (Model 44212) or Hitch Frame and Draw Bar Kit for Heavy-Duty Workman Vehicles (Model 44213).

  Important: Do not attempt towing a loaded machine with a light utility vehicle or run-about. These machines do not have adequate brakes, suspension, or frame strength to handle the weight of the machine.

• Trailer brakes are recommended when using the machine in hilly terrain. When fully loaded, the machine may weigh as much as 1,588 kg (3,500 lb) (GVW). This weight is higher than the recommended towing and braking limit of most utility vehicles. A trailer brake kit is available for direct installation with the Workman vehicle.

  Note: The trailer brake kit can be adapted to other vehicles with a 12 V brake light source.

Note: Have 2 people remove the hitch assembly.

1. Chock the wheels of the machine.

2. Remove the pin assembly, bolt and nut securing the hydraulic cylinder and hoses to the hitch tongue for shipping. Also, cut the cable tie. Carefully lower the cylinder and hoses from the tongue. Retain the pin assembly and fasteners for re-use.

3. Remove the hairpin cotter and hitch pin securing the hitch tongue to the upper shipping bracket. The hitch tongue is very heavy, use caution when removing the tongue from the shipping brackets.

4. Pivot at the lower shipping pin and pivot the tongue down.

5. Remove the pin assembly, bolt and nut securing the hitch tongue to the lower shipping bracket.

   Note: The machine will shift upward at the lower pin shipping bracket.

6. Remove the fasteners securing the shipping brackets to the machine. Remove and discard the shipping brackets.

Important: Read the entire procedure before performing the procedure.

The remote control must establish communications with the base unit before you can use the system. The remote control is associated to the system base unit before leaving the factory using the associate procedure. In situations where it is necessary to re-establish remote control-to-base unit communications (e.g., introducing a new or spare remote control to an existing base unit), do the following.

Note: Associating the remote control to a different base unit disassociates that remote control from the original base unit.

1. Remove power from the base unit.

2. Stand near the base unit in unobstructed, clear line-of-sight with the remote control in hand.

3. Simultaneously press and hold the OFFSET LEFT and OFFSET RIGHT buttons. The LED blinks about once per second.

4. Continue to hold both buttons until the LED begins blinking about twice per second.

5. Release the buttons.

6. Press and hold the OFFSET LEFT button. The LED blinks about twice per second.

7. Continue holding the OFFSET LEFT button and turn the key start to the RUN position. The LED turns solid if the procedure is successful.

   Note: This could take up to 20 seconds.

8. Release the OFFSET LEFT button.

   The system is ready for use with that particular remote control.
