IMPORTANT: This cutting machine is

capable of amputating hands and feet and

throwing objects. Failure to observe the

following safety instructions could result in

serious injury or death.

GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all

instructions 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 recks,

toys, wire, etc., which could be picked

up and thrown =bythe blade.

Be sure the area is clear 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 not operate 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 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

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 injudes. These operators

should evaluate their ability to operate

the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from

sedous injury.

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 slopes, 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 ob-

stacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

•Follow the 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 neces-

sary, and then, turn slowly and

gradually downhill, if possible.

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

embankments. The mower could

suddenly tum over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

•Do not mow 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 if the 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 aled 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

corners, 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

engine 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

equipment in good condition.

•Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation regularly.

•Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or

other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel

spillage. Allow machine to cool before

storing.

•Stop and inspect the equipment ifyou

strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

•Never make adjustments or repairs with

the engine running.

•Grass catcher components are subject

to wear, damage, and deterioration,

which could expose moving parts or al-

low objects to be thrown. Frequently

check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended parts,

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.Ad-

just and service as required.

•Be sure the area is clear of other people •Mow up and down slopes (15 ° Max), not

before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

•Never carry passengers or children

even with the blades off.

•Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always look down and

behind before and while backing.

•Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere with

safe machine operation.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful cars of another

responsible adult.
