!n.g objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious

injury or death.

_WARNING: In order to prevent ac-

cidental starting when setting up, trans-

porting, adjusting or making repairs,

always disconnect spark plug wire and

place wire where it cannot contact spark

plug.

,_WARNING: Do not coast down a hill in

neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.

_WARNING." Tow only the attachments

that are recommended by and comply with

specifications of the manufacturer of your

tractor. Use common sense when towing.

when on a slope. Too heavy of a load,

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can

lose traction with the ground and cause

you to lose control of your tractor.

its constituents, and certain vehicle com-

ponents contain or emit chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer

and birth defects or other reproductive

harm.

I. 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 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 direc-

tion 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 unat-

tended. 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 un-

loading 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 in-

juries. These operators should evaluate

their ability to operate the riding mower

safely enough to protect themselves and

others from serious injury.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or

other debris build-up which can touch

hot exhaust /engine parts and burn. Do

not allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debris which can cause build-

up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel

spillage before operating or storing the

machine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

II. 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. Un-

even 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.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommend-

ations 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 s_'arting 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-

sary, and then, turn slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,

or embankments. The mower could

suddenly turn 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

tractior_ 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.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the ma-

chine and the mowing activity. Neveras-

sume 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

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

IV. 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

container inside where there is an

open flame, such as a water heater.

area.

•Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade

attachment bolts, tight and keep equip-

ment in good condition.

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 if you

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

allow 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

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 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.

• Mow up and down slopes (15°Max), 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.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

• If machine stops while going uphill,

disengage blades, shift into reverse and

back down slowly.

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,

and then, turn slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.
