I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine

and in the manual before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the

machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the

in struc tions, to operate the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,

which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating.

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 back ing.

• Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid

discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material

may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blades when

crossing gravel surfaces.

• Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher,

discharge guard, or other safety devices in place and work-

ing.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn

off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys

before dismounting.

• Disengage blades 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.

• Operate machine only in daylight or good artiﬁ cial light.

• Do not operate the machine while under the inﬂ uence of

alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for trafﬁ c when operating near or crossing road-

ways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into

a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROW ING OBJECTS. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: In order to prevent ac-

ci den tal starting when setting up,

trans port ing, ad just ing or making re-

pairs, al ways dis con nect spark plug

wire and place wire where it can not

contact spark plug.

WARNING: Do not coast down a hill

in neutral, you may lose control of the

tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments

that are rec om mend ed by and com-

ply with spec i ﬁ ca tions of the man u -

fac tur er of your tractor. Use common

sense when towing. Operate only at

the low est possible speed when on a

slope. Too heavy of a load, while on

a slope, is dan ger ous. Tires can lose

trac tion with the ground and cause you

to lose control of your tractor.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are

involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries.

These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the

riding mower safely enough to protect them selves and others

from serious injury.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights

or counterweights.

• Keep machine free of grass , leaves or other debris

build-up which can touch hot exhaust/engine parts

and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debris which can cause build-up to oc-

cur. Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or

storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

II. 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.

• 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.

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop

or shift while on the slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes.

Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose

traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not

make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could

cause the machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating machine with grass catch-

ers or other at tach ments; they can affect the stability of the

machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on

the ground.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The

machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the edge

or if the edge caves in.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the pres-

ence of children. Children are often attracted to the ma chine

and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain

where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful

care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.

• Before and while backing, look behind and down for small

children.

• Never carry children, even with the blades 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 extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.
