SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. NEVER leave unit running while unattended.
2. NEVER park on a green for any reason.
3. NEVER go down steep hills sideways. ALWAYS approach hills straight on.
4. NEVER change your mind mid-way down a steep incline. Once you've started down a steep incline, change
direction only with the greatest of care and gentlest touch.
5. Allow engine to cool for several minutes before filling with fuel, since fuel tank is over the engine.
NOTE: HONDA ENGINES - ALWAYS TURN OFF THE FUEL SHUTOFF, WHEN THE
ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING, i.e. WHEN IN TRANSPORT, STORAGE, ETC.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check that the unit has been serviced and all fluids are checked and topped off.
2. Check all hydraulic hose fittings.
3. Push fuel shut off switch to on position.
4.
5. Push choke to full on position
6. Push throttle to just above idle.
7. Turn on/off switch to on position.
8. You should start engine from seat position. Just reach down to engine controls. Keep feet off pedals.
Hydrostatic drive should come to neutral when engine starts.
9. Hydrostatic transmission should come to neutral when engine is started. REMEMBER: RIGHT PEDAL TO
GO RIGHT, LEFT PEDAL TO GO LEFT.
10. Slide choke to full off position.
11. Once unit is running at just above idle, push pedal down slowly. Unit will begin to move. Drive it out of trailer
on to grass area.
12. Since the unit is hydrostatic, engine should run at full R.P.M. and speed should be controlled by pressure on the
pedal.
HINTS:
1. KEEP BOTH FEET ON PEDALS AT ALL TIMES. By keeping your heels planted and moving your toes to
change direction, you have smooth control - left to right.
2. If you roll the same direction as green was mowed, it's easy to follow the lines. This helps a new operator do a
fine job sooner.
3. To insure longer life to your unit, when changing direction do so smoothly.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check all hydraulic hoses DAILY, or before each scheduled use, for wear and any signs of rubbing
or chaffing. REMINDER: Drive motor hoses should be treated as wear items and should be
replaced on a yearly basis.
2. Check all fittings for any signs of leaking DAILY, or before each scheduled use.
3. Check all grease fittings on a WEEKLY basis, and grease as necessary. (Add ½ shot of grease in all
four bearings.)
4. Check engine to manufacturers’ specifications and maintenance. USE CORRECT OIL. (Per Honda
Manual).
5. Check hydraulic oil (use correct oil per decal).
6. Check Fuel NEVER fill a HOT engine.
7. Slide fuel shut off towards the engine. Always shut off the fuel when unit is NOT in use.
8. Slide choke away from engine till engine starts then turn choke off allowing engine to warm up.
9. When transporting unit from green to green be sure to turn off fuel.
10. Oil & Filter Type – It has been determined that your Salsco machine will perform better by using a
25 micron filter. Salsco recommends using Mobil DTE 26 or Citgo HYD 68, non-detergent hydraulic
oil, or their equivalents. The oil should have a viscosity rating of at least 100 SSU. While this is not
a necessity, it will improve the overall performance of your machine. Salsco is now using this filter
and hydraulic oil on all our machines using hydraulics.
SAFETY IS A PRIME CONCERN AT SALSCO AND THE SAFETY DECALS ON YOUR
MACHINE ARE A HIGHLY VISIBLE AND CONSTANT REMINDER TO ALL OPERATORS.
REPLACEMENT SAFETY DECALS MAY BE OBTAINED BY CALLING SALSCO @ 1-800-872-
5726, OR THE DEALER IN YOUR AREA.
