N/A N/A

Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of con-

trol of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment.

This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. The triangle

in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

Safety Rules

& Information

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 30 percent

(16.7°) which is a rise of three feet vertically in 10

feet horizontally.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope.

Use extra caution when operating on slopes with rear-

mounted grass catcher.

Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the

face, use caution when changing directions and

DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the

manual and on the unit before starting.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with

the instructions, to operate the unit.

•Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,

etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the

blade(s).

•Be sure the area is clear of other people before

mowing. Stop unit if anyone enters the area.

•Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while trav-

elling in reverse.

•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 deflec-

tor in place.

•Slow down before turning.

•Never leave a running unit unattended. Always

disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine,

and remove keys before dismounting.

•Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the 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 unit 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 unit

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 eval-

uate their ability to operate the riding mower safely

enough to protect themselves and others from seri-

ous injury.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and

tip-over 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

drive on it

•See your authorized dealer for recommendations of

available weights to improve stability.

•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 unit.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.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or other attach-

ments.These can change the stability of the unit.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Do Not

•

Do not

start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

•

Do not

turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,

turn slowly and gradually uphill, if possible.

•

Do not

mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embank-

ments.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 traction could

cause sliding.

•

Do not

try to stabilize the unit by putting your foot on

the ground.

•

Do not

use grass catcher on steep slopes.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing

require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences.To learn what combination and sequence

of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.

A. Ground Speed Control Levers

These levers control the ground speed of the rider.The

left lever controls the left rear drive wheel and the right

controls the right rear drive wheel.

Moving a lever forward increases the FORWARD speed

of the associated wheel, and pulling back on a lever

increases the REVERSE speed.

Note:The further a lever is moved away from the neutral

position the faster the drive wheel will turn.

See the Operating the Zero Turn Rider section for steer-

ing instructions.

B. Seat Adjustment Lever

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the

lever forward, position the seat as desired, and release

the lever to lock the seat in position.

C. Ignition Switch

The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has

three positions:

OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the

electrical system.

RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the

electrical system.

START Cranks the engine for starting.

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN posi-

tion with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.

Please take a moment and familiarize

yourself with the name, location, and

function of these controls so that you will

better understand the safety and operating

instructions provided in this manual.

es, and never tamper with safety devices. Check their

operation regularly.

Operational SAFETY Checks

Your unit is equipped with a seat switch safety system.

Check the seat switch operation every fall and spring

with the following tests.

Test 1 —Engine should NOT crank if:

•PTO switch is engaged, OR

•Parking brake is not engaged, OR

•Motion control handles are not in the NEUTRAL

position, OR

position, AND

•Operator is on the seat.

Test 3 —Engine should SHUT OFF if:

•Operator rises off seat with PTO engaged, OR

•Operator rises off seat with parking brake disen-

gaged.

Test 4 —Blade Brake Check

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a

complete stop within five seconds after electric PTO

switch is turned off (or operator rises off seat). If mower

drive belt does not stop within five seconds, see your

dealer.

NOTE: Once the engine has stopped, PTO switch must

be turned off, parking brake must be engaged, and the

motion control handles must be locked in the NEUTRAL

position after the operator returns to the seat in order to

start the engine.
