SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Slow down before

turning.

Operate the machine smoothly. Avoid

erratic operation and excessive speed.

Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait until

the blade(s) come to a complete stop before removing grass

catcher, emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing any grass or

debris, or making any adjustments.

Never leave a running machine unattended. Always

turn

off

blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and remove key before

dismounting.

Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a

trailer or truck. This machine should not be driven up or down

ramp(s), because the machine could tip over, causing serious

personal injury. The machine must be pushed manually on

ramp(s) to load or unload properly.

Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not

touch.

Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under low

hanging tree branches, wires, door openings etc., where the

operator may be struck or pulled from the machine, which could

result in serious injury.

Disengage all attachment clutches and depress the brake pedal

completely before attempting to start engine.

Your machine is designed to cut normal residential grass of a

height no more than 10”. Do not attempt to mow through unusually

tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Dry grass or

leaves may contact the engine exhaust and/or build up on the

mower deck presenting a potential

fire

hazard.

Use only accessories and attachments approved for this machine

by the machine manufacturer. Read, understand and follow all

instructions provided with the approved accessory or attachment.

Fora list of approved accessories and attachments, call 1-800

659-5917.

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 themselves and others from

serious injury.

If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care

and good judgment. Contact 1-800-659-5917 for information and

assistance.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor 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 it you feel uneasy on

it, do not mow it.

For your safety, use the Slope Guide included as part of this manual

to measure slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or hilly

area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as shown on the Slope

Guide, do not operate this machine on that area or serious injury could

result.

Do:

• Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution

when changing direction on slopes.

• Watch tor holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects.

Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so that

you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope. Tires may

lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning

properly. Always keep machine in gear when going down slopes

to take advantage of engine braking action.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights

or counterweights to improve stability. For recommendations, call

1-800-659-5917.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These

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. Rapid engagement or

braking could cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip

over backwards which could cause serious injury.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disen

gage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

Do Not:

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; 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 a cliff,

ditch, or it an edge caves in.

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

ground.

• Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

• Do not attempt to coast downhill. Over-speeding may cause the

operator to lose control of the machine resulting in serious injury

or death.

• Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart,

lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 degrees. When going

down hill, the extra weight tends to push the tractor and may

cause you to loose control, (e.g. tractor may speed up, braking

and steering ability are reduced, attachment may jack-knife and

cause tractor to overturn).
