GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instruc-

tions in the manual and on the machine

before starting.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions, to operate

the machine.

•Clear the area of objects such as rocks,

toys, wire, etc., which could be picked

up and thrown by the blade.

•Be sure the area is clear of other people

before mowing. Stop machine ifanyone

enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolute-

ly necessary. Always look down and

behind before and while backing.

•Be aware of the mower discharge dire,

tion and do not point it at anyone. Do

not operate the mower without either

the entire grass catcher or the guard

place.

•Slow down before turning.

•Never leave a running machine unr

tended. Always tum offblades, sej

ing brake, stop engine, and ramoff

keys before dismounting.

•Tum off blades when not mowing.

•Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or unclogging chute.

•Mow only in daylight or good artificial

light.

•Do not operate the machine while under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

•Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

•Use extra care when loading or unload-

ing the machine into a trailer or truck.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-

of-control and tipover accidents, which

can result in severe injury or.death. All

slopes require extra caution. If you cannot

back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on

it, do not mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down stopes_ not across.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

•Followthe manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Do nottum on slopes unless necessary,

and then, turn slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could sud-

denly turn over ifa wheel is over the

edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

•Do notmow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by

putting your foot on the ground.

•Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur ifthe operator

is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never

assume that children will remain where

you last saw them.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

•Be alert and tum machine off ifchildren

enter the area.

•Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

•Never carry children. They may fall off

and be sedously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

•Never allow children to operate the

machine.

•Use extra care when approaching blind

comers, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

SERVICE

•Use extra care in handling gasoline and

other fuels. They are flammable and

vapors are explosive.

Use only an approved container.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running. Allow en-

gine to cool before refueling. Do not

smoke.

Never refuel the machine indoors.

Never store the machine or fuel

container inside where there is an

open flame, such as a water heater.

•Never run a machine inside a closed

area.

•Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade

attachment bolts, tight and keep equip-

ment in good condition.

other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel

spillage. Allow machine to cool before

stodng.

stdka an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

•Never make adjustments or repairs with

the engine running.

to wear, damage, and deterioration,

which could expose moving parts or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently

check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended pads,

when necessary.

•Mower blades are sharp and can cut.

Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and

use extra caution when servicing them.

•Check brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required. • Be

before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.
