remove the key before dismounting.
Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting or not in use. Disengage the blade(s) when not mowing.
Stop the engine before removing the grass bagger or unclogging the chute.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
DO not operate the machine while under the influence of alcehol or drugs or when very tired.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
Use extra caution when loading or unloading the machine when using a trailer or truck for transporting.
Disengage all attachment clutches and shift into Neutral before attempting to start the engine.
Always wear safety glasses or an eye shield when you operate the unit to protect your eyes from foreign objects that can be thrown
from the unit. Always wear eye protection when you make an adjustment or repair to the machine.
Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
b. Limit loads to those you can safely control.
c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing.
d. Use counterweights or wheel weights when suggested in the Instruction Book.
Do not operate this machine if you are taking drugs or other medication which can cause drowsiness or affect your ability to operate
this machine.
Do not use this machine if you are mentally or physically unable to operate this machine safely.

SLOPE OPERATION:
Slopes and rough terrain are major factors 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 the slope, do not mow it. See the
"Slope Guide" in the back of this book to check for safe operation.

4.
5.

Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, 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 enough gear so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

6.
7.

Use extra care with grass baggers or other attachments, they 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

3.

Do not turn on slopes unless absolutely necessary, then only turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. A wheel over the edge or an edge caving in could cause a sudden overturn and
an injury or death.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

not smoke.
c. Never refuel the machine indoors.
d. Never store the machine with fuel in the tank or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater.
Never start or run the engine inside a closed area.
Keep all nuts and bolts, especially the blade attachment nuts tight. Frequently check the blade(s) for wear or damage such as cracks

Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. The carburetor can be adjusted with the engine running. Do not change
the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.
Grass bagger components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be
thrown. For storage, always make sure the grass bag is empty. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts when necessary.
Mower blade(s) are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them or the blade housing
