FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH_

1. GENERAL OPERATION

o Read, understand, and fo_low al_ inst_cfions in the manuaI

and on the machine before starting.

o Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the

instructions, to operate the machine.

o Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etco,

which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.

o Be sure the area isctear of other people before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

o Never carry passengers.

o Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always

took 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 ptace.

_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.

o Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Do not operate the machine while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.

o Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

Use extra care when loading or unioading the machine into

a traiier or truck.

_L SLOPE OPERATION

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

tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or

death. AII slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back

up the siope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

o Mow up and down slopes, not across.

,_ Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

_ Watch for ho_es, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could

overturn the machine. Taft grass can hide obstacles.

o Use slow speed. Choose a tow gear so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope.

o Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability.

Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.

These can change the stability of the machine.

Keep at! movement on the slopes slowand gradual Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction.

o 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

o_a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

oDo not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause

sliding.

oDo not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the

ground.

oDo not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

2

ill= CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur ifthe operator is not alert to the

presence of chHdren. Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that

children wil! remain where you tast saw them.

care of another responsible adu!t.

o Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

o Before and when backing, look behind and down for small

children.

injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

Never allow children to operate the machine_

o Turn knob cbckwise (fr_) to raise cutting heighL

o Turn knob counterclockwise (_--"0 to bwer cutting

The cutting height range is approx;mateiy 'i -':/2" i:o $. T_e

heights are measured from the ground to the biade tip with

the engine not running_ These heights are approx mate

and may vary dependin{7 upon soil condtions _eignt of

grass and types of grass being mowed

The average lawn should be cut to approximately 2-i/2

inches during the coot season and to over 3 :scnes

during hot months. For heaithier and better iook[ng

lawns, mow often and atter rnoderate growth.

o For best cutting performance, grass over 6 inches in

height should be mowed twice. _4ake the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired hei{!nt.

WARNING: indicates that atcohoi b_ended

fuels (called gasoho_ or using ethanol or methanol} can

attract moisture which ieads to separation and formation of

acids during storage Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an engine whife in storage. To avoid engine

problems: the fuel system should be emptied before stor-

age of 30 days or Ionger. Drain the gas tank, start the
