or Spanish, it is the owner's responsibility to explain 
this material to them.
DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing. Loose clothing, 
8. 
jewelry or long hair could get tangled in moving 
parts. Do not operate the machine wearing shorts; 
always wear adequate protective clothing including 
long pants. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes and 
a helmet is advisable and is required by some local 
ordinances and insurance regulations.
 WARNING
Always wear hearing protection. Operating this

Keep the machine and attachments in good 
9. 
operating condition. Keep all shields and safety 
devices in place. If a shield, safety device or decal 
is defective or damaged, repair or replace it before 
operating the machine.
 WARNING
This machine is equipped with an interlock 
system intended to protect the operator and 
others from injury. This is accomplished by 
preventing the engine from starting unless the 
deck drive is disengaged, the neutral lock lever 
is in the neutral lock position, and the operator 
is in the operating position. The system shuts off 
the engine if the operator steps off the operator 
platform with the deck drive engaged or if the 
neutral lock lever is placed in the drive position 
(D) and the parking brake is applied. Never operate 
equipment with the interlock system disconnected 
or malfunctioning.
Be sure the interlock switches are functioning 
10. 
correctly.
Fuel is flammable; handle it with care. Fill the fuel 
11. 
tank outdoors. Never fill it indoors. Use a funnel or 
spout to prevent spillage. Clean up any spillage 
before starting the engine.
DO NOT add fuel to a running or hot engine. Allow 
12. 
the engine to cool for several minutes before adding 
fuel. Never fuel indoors or inside enclosed trailers.
Keep flammable objects (cigarettes, matches, etc.), 
13. 
open flames and sparks away from the fuel tank and 
fuel container. Use only approved containers.
Equipment must comply with the latest requirements 
14. 
per SAE J137 and/or ANSI/ASAE S279 when driven 
on public roads.
Do not operate without the side discharge chute 
15. 
installed and in the down position or with an optional 
grass catcher or mulch plate completely installed.
Check the blade mounting bolts at frequent intervals 
16. 
for proper tightness.
Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight 
17. 
and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good 
condition before starting the machine.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
2.4 
Know the function of all controls and how to stop 
1. 
quickly.
 WARNING
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. Under no 
circumstances should the machine be operated 
on slopes greater than 20 degrees. ALWAYS 
FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION.
Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on

ditches and retaining walls.
To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop 
4. 
smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at 
reduced speed.
When using any attachment, never direct the 
5. 
discharge of material toward bystanders or allow 
anyone near the machine while in operation.
Start the engine with the operator in the operating 
6. 
position, cutter blades are disengaged, parking 
brake is engaged, and the neutral lever is in neutral.
If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the 
7. 
engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all 
movement to stop before removing the obstruction.
