Before Operating CHECK THE ENGINE OIL (Fig. 1) The engine is shipped with 3.3 1 of oil. However, check the oil level before and after you first start the engine. 1. Position the machine on a level surface. 2. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Screw the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick and check the oil level. If it is low, remove the filler cap and add oil. 3.
Before Operating 2. Fill the tank to about one inch below the top of the tank, not the filler neck, with No. 2 diesel fuel. Then install the cap. 1 1 Figure 4 1. Drain valve Figure 3 1. Fuel Tank Cap DANGER Because diesel fuel is flammable, use caution when storing or handling it. Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed area.
Before Operating onto the filler neck; then remove it and check the oil level. 1 Figure 7 1. Bedknife adjusting knob Figure 6 1. Dipstick filler cap 4. If the level is not within 3 cm from the FULL mark on the dipstick, add SAE 10W-30 engine oil to raise the level to the FULL mark. Do not overfill. 5. Install the dipstick filler cap onto the filler neck. 6. Run the engine for one minute, recheck the oil level and add more if needed.
Controls Traction Pedal (Fig. 8)—The traction pedal: 1) makes the machine move forward, 2) moves it backward and 3) stops the machine. Using the heel and toe of your right foot, depress the top of the pedal to move forward and the bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist in stopping when moving forward. Also, allow the pedal to move or move it to the neutral position to stop the machine. Do not rest the heel of your foot on reverse when going forward (Fig. 9).

Operation Raising Attachments BEFORE MOWING Pull the implement lift lever rearward to raise an attachment to the desired height. Inspect the area for debris and clear the area. Determine the direction in which the area was last mowed. (Always mow in an alternate pattern from the previous mowing, so that the grass blades will be less apt to lay down and therefore be difficult to gather between the reel blades and bedknife.
Operation While operating on slopes and uneven terrain, always reduce speed and use extreme caution before turning to reduce risk of tipping or losing control. Watch carefully and avoid holes in the terrain, sudden drop-offs and other hazards. To prevent costly damage and down time, familiarize yourself with the width of the Grounds Pro 2000-D. Do not attempt to pass between immovable objects placed close together. Note: Do not spray water directly onto a hot engine or hot bearings.
Operation bedknife and reel wear will accelerate. Uneven wear can result, adversely affecting quality of cut. Note: As the reel blades run against the bedknife, a slight burr will appear on the front cutting edge surface over the full length of the bedknife. Occasionally running a file across the front edge to remove this burr will improve cutting. After extended running, a ridge will eventually develop at both ends of the bedknife.
