A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade 
12. 
contact or thrown object injuries. 
Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or 
13. 
roads and while not cutting grass. 
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing 
14. 
roadways. This machine is not intended for use on any 
public roadway. 
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of 
15. 
alcohol or drugs. 
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
16. 
Never carry passengers.
17. 
Disengage blade(s) before shifting into reverse. Back up 
18. 
slowly. Always look down and behind before and while 
backing to avoid a back-over accident.
Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly. 
19. 
Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed.
Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait 
20. 
until the blade(s) come to a complete stop before removing 
grass catcher, emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing 
any grass or debris, or making any adjustments. 
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn 
21. 
off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set parking 
brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting.
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into 
22. 
a trailer or truck. This machine should not be driven up or 
down ramp(s), because the machine could tip over, causing 
serious personal injury. The machine must be pushed 
manually on ramp(s) to load or unload properly.
Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do 
23. 
not touch.
Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under 
24. 
low hanging tree branches, wires, door openings etc., 
where the operator may be struck or pulled from the 
machine, which could result in serious injury.
Disengage all attachment clutches, depress the brake 
25. 
pedal completely and shift into neutral before attempting 
to start engine.
Your machine is designed to cut normal residential grass of 
26. 
a height no more than 10”. Do not attempt to mow through 
unusually tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. 
Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust and/
or build up on the mower deck presenting a potential fire 
hazard.
Use only accessories and attachments approved for this 
27. 
machine by the machine manufacturer. Read, understand 
and follow all instructions provided with the approved 
accessory or attachment. 
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are 
28. 
involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related 
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability 
to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect 
themselves and others from serious injury. 
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use 
29. 
care and good judgment. Contact your customer service 
representative for assistance.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over 
accidents which can result 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. 
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this 
manual to measure slopes before operating this machine on 
a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as 
shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this machine on that 
area or serious injury could result.
Do:
Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme 
1. 
caution when changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden 
2. 
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall 
grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so 
3. 
that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope. 
Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes 
are functioning properly. Always keep machine in gear 
when going down slopes to take advantage of engine 
braking action.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel 
4. 
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. 
5. 
These can change the stability of the machine.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do 
6. 
not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid 
engagement or braking could cause the front of the 
machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could 
cause serious injury.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, 
7. 
disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down 
the slope.
Do Not: 
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly 
1. 
and gradually downhill, if possible.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The 
2. 
mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge 
of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on 
3. 
the ground.
Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes. 
4. 
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause 
5. 
sliding.
Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill. Over-speeding 
6. 
may cause the operator to lose control of the machine 
resulting in serious injury or death.
Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded 
7. 
dump cart, lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 
degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight tends 
to push the tractor and may cause you to loose control 
(e.g. tractor may speed up, braking and steering ability are 
reduced, attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to 
overturn).
