THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OB-
JECTS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERI-
OUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Read, understand and follow all instructions 
in the manual and on the machine before 
starting.

• 

Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar 
with the instructions, to operate the machine.

• 

Clear the area of objects such as rocks, 
stones, toys, wire etc., which could be picked 
up and thrown by the blades.

• 

Be sure the area is clear of all people and 
pets before mowing. Stop the machine if 
anyone enters the area.

• 

Never carry passengers or children even with 
blades off.

• 

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 direct it towards anyone. Do not 
operate the mower without either the entire 
grass catcher or the guard in place.

• 

Slow down before turning.

• 

Never leave the machine unattended when 
the engine is running. Always turn off the 
blades, set the parking brake, stop the engine 
and remove  the key before leaving the 
machine.

• 

Turn off blades when not mowing.

• 

Stop engine before removing grass catcher or 
unclogging chute.

• 

Mow only in daylight or good artifi cial light.

• 

Do not operate the machine while under the 
infl uence of alcohol or drugs.

• 

Watch out for traffi c when operating near or 
crossing roadways.

• 

Use extra care when loading and unloading 
the machine onto a trailer or truck.

• 

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.

•

DO NOT operate mower with grass catcher, 
unless the front weights are installed.

Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other 
debris buildup which can touch hot exhaust/
engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower 
deck to plow leaves or other debris which 
can cause buildup to occur. Clean any oil or 
fuel spillage before operating or storing the 
machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

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 if you feel uneasy 
on it, do not mow it.

• 

Mow up and down slopes (10° Max.), 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 speed so that 
you will not have to stop while on the slope.

• 

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.

• 

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires 
lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed 
slowly straight down the slope.
