the area.

Before and while backing, look behind and

down for small children.

NEVER carry children, even with the

blade(s) shut off. They may fall off and be

seriously injured or interfere with safe

machine operation. Children who have been

given rides in the past may suddenly appear

in the mowing area for another ride and be

run over or backed over by the machine.

NEVER allow children to operate the

machine.

Use extreme care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that

may block your view of a child.

Keep children out of the mowing area and in

the watchful care of a responsible adult

other than the operator.

safety interlock is damaged or disabled.

Start and operate unit only when seated in

operator’s position. Steering control levers

must be in neutral, PTO disengaged and

parking brake set when starting engine.

NEVER tamper with safety devices. Check

their proper operation regularly.

Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other

debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage

and remove any fuel-soaked debris.

NEVER direct discharged material toward

anyone. Avoid discharging material against

a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet

back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s)

when crossing gravel surfaces.

NEVER engage PTO when attachment,

including mower blades, is not in use.

ALWAYS turn off power to attachment when

not in active use such as traveling or

crossing driveways.

ALWAYS disengage PTO, stop unit and

engine, remove key, engage parking brake

and allow moving parts to stop before

leaving operator’s position.

NEVER engage PTO while raising the

attachment, including mower blades, or

when attachment is in the raised position.

Keep safety devices or guards in place and

functioning properly. NEVER modify or

remove safety devices.

DO NOT mow in reverse unless absolutely

necessary. ALWAYS look down and behind

before and while backing.

Stop engine before removing grass catcher

or unclogging chute.

Slow down before turning.

If you strike a foreign object, stop and

inspect the machine. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

NEVER leave a running machine

unattended. ALWAYS turn off blade(s), set

parking brake, stop engine and remove key

before dismounting.

Disengage blade(s) when not mowing. Shut

off engine and wait for all parts to come to a

complete stop before cleaning the machine,

removing the grass catcher, or unclogging

the discharge guard.

Operation Conditions

Lightning can cause severe injury or death.

If lightning is seen or thunder is heard in the

area, do not operate the machine; seek

shelter.

ALWAYS check overhead and side

clearances carefully before operation.

Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

Clear the area of objects such as rocks,

wire, toys, etc., which could be thrown by the

blades.

Check for weak spots on docks, ramps or

floors. Avoid uneven work areas and rough

terrain. Stay alert for hidden hazards or

traffic.

Use care when approaching blind corners,

shrubs, trees or other objects that may

obscure vision.

Dust, smoke, fog, etc. can reduce vision and

cause an accident.

Operate machine only in daylight or good

artificial light.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of

control and tip-over accidents, which can

result in severe injury or death. Operation on

all slopes requires extra caution. If you

cannot back up the slope or if you feel

uneasy on it, DO NOT mow it.

DO NOT operate on slopes of more than

15°.

Mow up and down slopes, not across.

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other

hidden objects. Uneven terrain could

overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

DO NOT mow on moist or wet grass. Tires

may lose traction causing a loss of control.

Use extra care while operating machine with

grass catchers or other attachments; they

can affect the stability of the machine. DO

NOT use on steep slopes.

Keep all movements on the slope slow and

gradual. DO NOT make sudden changes in

speed or direction, which could cause the

machine to roll over.

Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a

slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage

the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

Operation on slopes may lead to loss of

steering control. When operating on slopes

be prepared to react to an emergency

situation:

• Return steering levers to neutral

position.

• Immediately set parking brake.

• Turn off PTO and engine.

DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by

putting your foot on the ground.

DO NOT park on slopes unless necessary.

When parking on slope, ALWAYS chock or

block wheels. ALWAYS set parking brake.
