Safety - 4

•

Drive across a hill - not up and down. If necessary, turn 

slowly and in the downhill direction. Do not shift to neutral 
and coast downhill.

•

Avoid starting and stopping on a slope. If machine 

stops, disengage mower blades and back down slowly.

•

Do not drive where machine could slip or tip.

•

Stay alert for holes and other hidden hazards in the 

terrain.

•

Keep away from drop-offs, ditches, and embankments.

•

Slow down before you make a sharp turn or operate on 

a slope. On gear models, choose a low gear so that shifting 
and stopping will not be necessary while on the slope.

•

Transport machine with decks lowered to improve 

stability.

•

Drive machine very slowly and avoid quick stops when 

attachment is removed.

•

Mowing when grass is wet can cause reduced traction 

and sliding.

•

Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.

•

Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by 

foreign objects or thrown off the machine causing serious 
injury.

•

Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the 

machine being operated in an unsafe manner.

•

A serious accident could occur causing serious injury if 

wheel bolts are not tight.

•

Check wheel bolt tightness often during the first 100 

hours of operation.

•

Wheel hardware must be tightened to specified torque 

using the proper procedure anytime it is loosened.

Avoid personal injury or death resulting from a collision with 
another vehicle on public roads: 

•

Use safety lights and devices. Slow moving machines 

when driven on public roads are hard to see, especially at 
night.

•

Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine 

into a trailer or truck.

•

Whenever driving on public roads, use flashing warning 

lights and turn signals according to local regulations. Extra 

flashing warning lights may need to be installed.

•

Only qualified, trained adults should service this 

machine.

•

Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep 

area clean and dry.

•

Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is 

moving. Keep safety devices in place and in working 
condition. Keep hardware tight.

•

Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away 

from any moving parts, to prevent them from getting 
caught.

•

Lower attachments to the ground before servicing 

machine. Disengage all power and stop the engine. Lock 
park brake and remove the key. Let machine cool.

•

Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before 

making any repairs.

•

Before servicing machine, carefully release pressure 

from components with stored energy such as hydraulic 
components.

•

Keep all nuts and bolts tightened, especially blade 

attachment bolts.

•

Securely support any machine elements that must be 

raised for service work. Lock service latches before 
working on machine with raised attachments.

•

Never run engine unless park brake is locked.

•

Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. 

Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. 
Replace all worn or damaged safety and instruction decals.

•

To prevent fires, remove any buildup of grease, oil, or 

debris from the machine, especially the engine 
compartment.

•

Charge batteries in an open, well-ventilated area, away 

from sparks. Unplug battery charger before connecting or 
disconnecting from the battery. Wear protective clothing 
and use insulated tools.

•

Do not modify machine or safety devices. Unauthorized 

modifications may impair its function and safety.

•

Do not wear radio or music headphones while servicing 

the machine. Safe service requires your full attention.

•

Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical 

damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses and lines 
regularly. Replace damaged hoses and lines.

•

Hydraulic fluid connections can loosen due to physical
