Section 2
To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop 
3. 
smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at 
reduced speed.
When using any attachment, never direct the 
4. 
discharge of material toward bystanders or allow 
anyone near the machine while in operation.
Before attempting to start the engine, with the 
5. 
operator in the seat, disengage power to the cutter 
deck, place the steering control levers in the neutral 
position and engage the parking brake.
If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the 
6. 
engine, remove the ignition key, and wait for all 
movement to stop before removing the obstruction.
 WARNING
DO NOT use your hand to dislodge the clogged 
discharge  chute.  Use  a  stick  or  other  device  to 
remove  clogged  material  after  the  engine  has 
stopped  running  and  the  blades  have  stopped 
turning.
Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden 
7. 
hazards in the terrain. Keep away from any drop-
offs. Beware of overhead obstructions (low limbs, 
etc.), underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree 
roots, etc.). Cautiously enter a new area. Be alert for 
hidden hazards.
Disengage power to cutter deck before backing up. 
8. 
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary 
and then only after observation of the entire area 
behind the mower. If you must mow in reverse, 
maintain a constant lookout to the rear of the 
machine and mow slowly.
DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.
9. 
Disengage power to cutter deck before crossing 
10. 
roads, walks or gravel drives.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
11. 
NEVER raise the deck with the blades engaged.
12. 
Take all possible precautions when leaving the 
13. 
machine unattended, such as disengaging the 
mower, lowering the attachments, setting the parking 
brake, stopping the engine, and removing the key.
Disengage power to the attachments when 
14. 
transporting or when not in use.
The machine and attachments should be stopped 
15. 
and inspected for damage after striking a foreign 
object, and damage should be repaired before 
restarting and operating the machine.
 CAUTION
Do not touch the engine or the muffler while the 
engine is running or immediately after stopping. 
These  areas  may  be  hot  enough  to  cause  a 
burn.
 DANGER
DO  NOT  run  the  engine  inside  a  building  or 
a  confined  area  without  proper  ventilation. 
Exhaust  fumes  are  hazardous  and  contain 
carbon  monoxide  which  can  cause  brain  injury 
and death.
Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and 
16. 
moving parts. Contact can injure.
Transport the mower using a heavy duty trailer 
17. 
or truck. Insure the trailer or truck has all of the 
necessary lighting and markings as required by 
laws, codes, and ordinances. Secure a trailer with a 
safety chain.
Be cautious when loading and unloading onto 
18. 
trailers or trucks. Use only a full width ramp. Ramp 
angle should be no more than 15 degrees. Back up 
the ramp and drive down forward.
When transporting the mower, make sure the park 
19. 
brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in 
the neutral position, the engine is off with the key 
removed, and the wheels have been blocked.
Tie the mower down securely using straps, chains, 
20. 
cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps must be 
directed down and outward from machine.
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, 
21. 
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
NEVER leave the machine running unattended.
