GENERAL OPERATION
Audible and Visual Alerts (70.4140 Gauge) WARNING Never set the slope limit set-points for the audible or visual alerts to a higher value than the power unit configuration can safely handle. Refer to the Operating On Slopes section of this manual and the safety section of the attachmentâs manual to deter- mine the correct slope limit. Before operation, determine the maximum slope rat- ing for the power unit and attachment configuration. Change the set-points for the audible and visual alerts to match the maximum slope rating. If the power unit is used on a slope angle greater than the set angle, the audible alarm will sound (unless muted) and the display screen will flash a visual warning to alert the operator. If this occurs, slowly and carefully move the power unit off the slope. 70.4140 Slope Gauge Calibration WARNING The power unit must be parked on level, horizontal ground in order to be calibrated correctly. Always check to make sure the gauge is calibrated correctly prior to operating the power unit. 1. Park the power unit on a flat, level surface. 2. Shut off the power unit engine and lower any at - tachments to the ground. 3. Turn the ignition key to the Run position. 4. Enter the options menu and scroll to the calibra- tion screen. 5. Hold your thumb over the sensor until the screen displays a warning message, then remove your thumb. If the requirements in the warning mes- sage are met, hold your thumb over the sensor again to perform the calibration. 6. When the screen changes to say calibration suc- cessful, remove your thumb from the sensor. The gauge will automatically return to the selected display screen.
Operation in Water, Mud, Snow, or Ice WARNING Operation in water, mud, snow, or ice decreases power unit traction and increases the potential for unexpected difficulties or loss of control. Reduce your speed and exercise caution. WARNING Operation on frozen bodies of water can be dan- gerous. The machine could fall through the ice and cause the operator to drown. Never operate on ice unless you have verified the thickness of the ice and that the travel path is safe. CAUTION Operation in water may cause damage to the hydraulic system, axles, or other parts. If the water level reaches the tire rim, the water is too deep. Towing or Pushing the Power Unit ATTENTION Avoid damage to your power unit! Before towing, read and understand the following information. Severe damage will occur to the unit if the proper towing procedure is not followed. CAUTION Failure to place the transaxles in neutral when tow- ing or pushing the power unit may result in damage to the power unit drivetrain. If the power unit needs to be moved without the engine running, it is important to remember to place the transaxles in neutral by shifting the high/low range shift handle to the middle of the shift stroke. With the transaxles in neutral and the parking brake dis- engaged, the power unit can freewheel. Use extreme caution when towing or pushing the power unit as steering may not function. Do not exceed 8 km/h (5 mph). Be prepared to engage the parking brake to stop the power unit.
