instructionsin the manual and on the

machine before starting.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions,to operate

the machine.

rocks, toys,wire, etc., which could be

picked up and thrown by the blade.

•Be sure the area isclear of other

people before mowing, Stop machine

if anyone enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always look down

and behind before and while backing.

•Be aware of the mower discharge

direction and do not point it at anyone.

Do notoperate the mower without

either the entire grass catcher or the

guard in place.

•Slow down before turning,

•Never leave a running machine

unattended. Always turn off blades, set

parking brake, stop engine, and

remove keys before dismounting.

•Turn off blades when not mowing.

•Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or uncloggingchute,

under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

•Watch fortraffic when operating near or

cresslng roadways.

•Usa extra care when loading or

unloading the machine into a trailer or

truck.

•Data indicates that operators, age 60

years and above, are involved in a

large percentage of riding mower-

related injuries. These operators

should evaluate their ability to operate

the r_dingmower safely enough to

protectthemselves and others from

sedous injury.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a majorfactor related to loss-of-

control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe in ury or death. AlLs_opes

require extra caut on. f you cannot back up

the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not

mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturnthe

machine. Tall grass can hide ob-

stacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will nothave to stop or shift

while on the slope,

•Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dations for wheal weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Usa extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability ofthe 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 not turn on slopes unless neces-

san/, and then, turn slowlyand gradu-

ally downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near dropoffs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could

suddenly turnover if a wheel is over the

edge of a cliff or ditch, or ifan edge

caves in.

• Do notmow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

•Do not try to stabilizethe machine by

puttingyour foot on the ground.

•Donotusegresscatcharonsteep

slopes.

IlL CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is notalert 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 turn machine off if children

enter the area.

•Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

•Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously 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.
