SAFETY RULES
IMPORTANT: This cutting machine is ca pa ble of amputating hands and feet and throw-
ing objects. Failure to observe the fol low ing safety instructions could result in serious 
injury or death.
I. GENERAL OPERATION 
•   Read, understand, and follow all instruc-
tions in the manual and on the machine 
before starting.
•   Only allow responsible adults, who are 
familiar with the in struc tions, to operate 
the machine.
•   Clear the area of objects such as  rocks, 
toys, wire, etc.,  which could be picked 
up and thrown by the blade.
•   Be sure the area is clear of other people 
before mow ing.  Stop machine if anyone 
enters the area.
•   Never carry passengers.
•   Do not mow in reverse unless ab so -
lute ly necessary.  Always look down and 
behind before and while back ing.
•   Be aware of the mower discharge direc-
tion and do not point it at anyone.  Do 
not operate the mower without either 
the entire grass catcher or the guard in 
place.
•   Slow down before turning.
•   Never leave a running machine unat-
tended.  Always turn off blades, set 
parking brake, stop engine, and remove 
keys before dismounting.
•   Turn off blades when not mowing.
•   Stop engine before removing grass 
catcher or un clog ging 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 for traffi c when operating near or 
crossing road ways.
•   Use extra care when loading or un-
 load ing the machine into a trailer or 
truck.
•   Data indicates that operators, age 60 
years and above, are involved in a large 
percentage of riding mower-related in-
juries.  These operators should evaluate 
their ability to operate the riding mower 
safely enough to protect them selves and 
others from serious injury.
•   Keep machine free of grass , leaves or 
other debris build-up which can touch
    hot exhaust / engine parts and burn . Do 
not allow the mower deck to plow leaves 
or other debris which can cause build-
up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel
spillage before operating or storing the 
machine . Allow machine to cool before 
storage.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-
of-control and tipover accidents, which can 
re sult 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.
DO:
•   Mow up and down slopes, not across.
•   Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree 
limbs, etc.
•   Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.  Un-
even terrain could overturn the machine. 
Tall grass can hide ob sta cles.
•   Use slow speed.  Choose a low gear 
so that you will not have to stop or shift 
while on the slope.
WARNING:  In order to prevent ac-
cidental starting when setting up, trans-
 port ing, ad just ing or making repairs, 
always dis con nect spark plug wire and 
place wire where it can not contact spark 
plug. 
WARNING:  Do not coast down a hill in 
neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.
WARNING:  Tow only the attachments 
that are rec om mend ed by and comply with 
spec i fi  
ca tions of the man u fac tur er of your 
tractor. Use common sense when towing. 
Operate only at the lowest possible speed 
when on a slope.  Too heavy of a load, 
while on a slope, is dan ger ous.  Tires can 
lose trac tion with the ground and cause 
you to lose control of your tractor.
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its 
constituents, and certain vehicle com po -
nents contain or emit chem i cals known 
to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer 
and birth defects or oth er re pro duc tive 
harm.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals 
and related accessories contain lead and 
lead compounds, chemicals known to the 
State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and 
birth defects or oth er re pro duc tive harm. 
Wash hands after handling.
