which could be picked up and thrown by the 5lade

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 absolutely necessary. Always

look down and behind before and while backing°

• 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 guard in place.

• Slow down before turning

Never leave a running machine unattended. 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 unloading the machine into

a trailer or truck.

I1o SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to toss-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. 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

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability.

Use extra care wilh grass catchers or other attachments.

These can change the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slowand gradual Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direct{on.

• Avoid starting 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 necessary, 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 acliff 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 machine by putting your foot on the

ground..

•Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

III. CHILDREN

where you last saw them

- Keep children out of the mowing area end under the watchful

care of another responsible adulto

• 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.

running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not

smoke.

Never refuel the machine indoors

Never store the machine or fuel container inside where

there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: IT tS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM

DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL

SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,

FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO,

EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED

FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR

METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS

TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING

STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL

SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.

•Drain the fue{ tank,

. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and

carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe

fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season,

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in

minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor-

age. Add stabilizer to gasofine in fuel tank or storage

container. Always foltow the mix ratio found on stabilizer

container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding

stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do

not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
