1.2.1 Regard the Exmark mower as a piece of power equipment and teach this regard to

all who operate this unit.

1.2.2 Read the instructions carefully. Familiarize yourself with the controls and the

proper use of the equipment. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read

English it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to them.

1.2.3 Do not allow operation of this machine by untrained personnel. Never allow

children, teenagers, or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.

Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

1.2.4 Avoid mowing while people, especially children, or pets, are nearby. Keep in mind

that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other

people or their property.

1.3 PREPARATION

1.3.1 Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are needed to

properly and safely perform the job. Only use accessories and attachments

approved by Exmark.

1.3.2 The use of personal protective equipment, such as (but not limited to) protection for

the eyes, ears, feet, and head is recommended.

CAUTION

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85

dBA at the operator’s ear when in operation.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Exposure to sound levels of 85 dBA or above for

extended periods of time can cause hearing loss.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

1.3.4 Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all

stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects which may damage the

equipment or cause personal injury to the operator or bystanders.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is

an odorless deadly poison.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Carbon monoxide can kill you.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined area

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable

and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,

and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from

an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited

by spark.

♦Refuel only outdoors.

♦Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it

out of the reach of children.

♦Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the

cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running

or when the engine is hot.

♦Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises

above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler

neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel

spillage.

♦If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine.

Move away from the area of the spill and avoid

creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have

dissipated.

♦Do not operate without entire exhaust system in place

and in proper working condition.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable

and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or

explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and

cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved

container.

♦Always place gasoline containers on the ground away

from your vehicle before filling.

♦Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a

truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic

truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow

the loss of any static charge.

♦When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from

the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its

wheels on the ground.

♦If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a

truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than

from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

♦If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the

nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Gasoline vapor can collect inside enclosed trailers and

may be ignited by electrical sparks or hot

engine/exhaust components.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Explosion and fire may occur, resulting in property

damage, personal injury, and/or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Provide adequate ventilation of any enclosed trailer to

prevent build up of gasoline vapors, especially at floor

level.

♦Refuel only outdoors, never inside an enclosed trailer.

♦Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage containers

have proper caps installed to prevent spillage and

minimize vapor escaping into the trailer.

♦Do not place any equipment that is leaking gasoline in

an enclosed trailer.

1.4 OPERATION

Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the

design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent upon

the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel involved in

the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the equipment. It is essential

that all Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating condition prior

to use for mowing.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Operating engine parts, especially the muffler, become

extremely hot.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Severe burns can occur on contact.

♦Debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Allow engine parts, especially the muffler, to cool before

touching.

♦Remove accumulated debris from muffler and engine area.

♦Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before

using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, or

brush-covered unimproved land.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories can become

entangled in rotating parts.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Contact with rotating parts can cause traumatic amputation

or severe lacerations.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Do not operate the machine without guards, shields, and

safety devices in place and working.

♦Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, or clothing away from

rotating parts.

1.4.1 Give complete, undivided attention to the job at hand.

1.4.2 Mow only in daylight or good artificial light, keeping away from holes and hidden

hazards. Do Not operate the mower when children or others are in the area!

1.4.3 When feasible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.

1.4.4 Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction

and/or tip-over could occur. The operator is responsible for safe operation on slopes.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and

loss of control.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Loss of control and/or loss of operator’s footing could result

in a fall with an arm or leg getting under the mower or

engine deck, which may result in serious injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Mow across slopes, never up and down.

♦Do not mow slopes when grass is wet.

♦Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.

♦Do not mow slopes greater than 20 degrees.

♦Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.

♦Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.

- 5 -

•See inside the back cover to determine the approximate slope angle of the area

to be mowed.

•Progressively greater care is needed as the slope increases.

•Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

•Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill. Weight transfer to the

front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and

steering.

•Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change the operating angle,

as rough terrain could overturn the machine.

•Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the mowing area.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

•Use extreme care with grass catchers or attachments. These can change the

stability of the machine and cause loss of control.

1.4.5 Use EXTREME caution when backing up. LOOK BEHIND YOU!!

1.4.6 Stop the blades when crossing surfaces other than grass, if mower must be tilted

for transportation, and when transporting the mower to and from the area to be

mowed.

1.4.7 Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields, or covers. Always have

safety shields, guards, switches, and other devices in place and in proper working

condition.

1.4.8 Do Not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine. Operating

an engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.

1.4.9 Place transmission in neutral, disengage PTO and engage park brake before

starting engine.

1.4.10 Start the engine carefully with feet well away from blades.

1.4.11 Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from rotating parts while the mower is being

operated.

1.4.12 Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove spark plug wire(s) or

ignition key:

•Before checking, cleaning, or working on the mower.

•After striking a foreign object (inspect the mower for damage and make

repairs before restarting and operating the mower).

•Before clearing blockages.

•Whenever you leave the mower.

1.4.13 Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop:

•Before removing the grass catcher.

•Before refueling.

•Before making height adjustments.

1.4.14 Before stopping the engine, place the throttle control midway between the “slow”

and “fast” positions. Allow the engine to run a minimum of 15 seconds; then stop

the engine.

1.4.15 The fuel system is provided with a shut-off valve. The fuel shut-off valve is used to

shut off the fuel when:

•The machine will not be used for a few days.

•During transport to and from the job.

•When parking inside a building.

1.4.16 This mower was designed for one operator only. Keep all others away from mower

during operation.
