safely enough to protect themselves and others 

from serious injury.

•

DO NOT operate mower with grass bagger, unless 

the front weights are installed.

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.

If machine is equipped with a tow hitch, 

use extreme caution when towing. Never 

allow children or others in or on towed

Travel slowly and allow extra distance to 

stop. Do not tow on sloped ground.  The 

weight of the towed equipment may cause 

loss of traction and loss of control. 
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation 

for weight limits for towed equipment. Do 

not tow near ditches, canals, and other 

hazards.
