ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from all 
rotating parts during operation. Rotating parts 
can cut off body parts.
ALWAYS keep hands away from all pinch 
points.
DO NOT touch unit parts which might be hot 
from operation. Allow parts to cool before 
attempting to maintain, adjust or service. 
NEVER place your hands or any part of your 
body or clothing inside or near any moving 
part while unit is running.
NEVER direct discharge towards persons or 
property. Thrown objects may ricochet back 
towards operator. ALWAYS stand clear of the 
discharge area. 
ALWAYS disengage attachment, stop unit and 
engine, remove key, engage parking brake, 
and allow moving parts to stop before leaving 
operator’s position.
Use extreme caution on gravel surfaces. 
Disengage PTO when attachment is not in use 
and when crossing gravel surfaces.
DO NOT operate unit if safety interlock system 
is damaged or disabled. Check safety interlock 
before each use.
ALWAYS remove key to prevent unauthorized 
use.
DO NOT operate at too fast a rate. Slow down 
before turning.
Stop engine before removing grass catcher or 
unclogging chute.
DO NOT mow on wet grass. Reduced traction 
could cause sliding.
DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by putting 
your foot on the ground.
Know the weight of loads. Limit loads to those 
you can safely control and the unit can safely 
handle.
ALWAYS keep protective structures, guards 
and panels in good repair, in place and 
securely fastened.
Do not operate without either entire grass 
catcher or the discharge guard in place.
DO NOT operate in reverse unless absolutely 
necessary. ALWAYS look down and behind 
before and while backing; especially for 
children.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations 
for wheel weights or counterweights to 
improve stability when using attachments.
NEVER carry passengers–especially 
children–even with blades off.
Use extra care when approaching blind 
corners or objects that may obscure vision of 
hidden obstacles and children.
If you cannot back up a slope or you feel 
uneasy on it, do not mow it.
Mow up and down slopes, not across them.
Use slow speed on any slope. Tires may lose 
traction on slopes even though the brakes are 
functioning properly.
Keep all movements on the slope 
 
slow 
 
and 
 
gradual.
 
 DO NOT make sudden changes in 
speed or direction.
Use extra care while operating machines with 
grass catcher or other attachments. They can 
affect stability of the machine.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. 
If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and 
proceed slowly 
 
straight 
 
down the slope.
DO NOT operate on slopes over 10˚.
DO NOT park on slopes unless necessary. If 
unit is parked on a slope, ALWAYS chock or 
block wheels and set parking brake.
DO NOT disengage or bypass transmission 
and coast downhill.
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch 
designed for towing. Do not attach towed 
equipment except at the hitch point.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations 
for weight limits for towed equipment and 
towing on slopes.
NEVER allow children or others in or on towed 
equipment.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment 
may cause loss of traction and loss of control.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
Use extra care when loading or unloading unit 
onto trailer or truck.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. 
NEVER secure from rods or linkages that 
could be damaged.
DO NOT transport machine while engine is 
running. 
Keep unit free of grass clippings, leaves, and 
other debris. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
This product is equipped with an internal 
combustion type engine. DO NOT use unit on 
or near any unimproved, forest-covered or 
brush covered land unless exhaust system is 
equipped with a spark arrester meeting 
applicable local, state or federal laws. A spark 
arrester, if it is used, must be maintained in 
effective working order by operator.

explosive. Handle with care. Use an approved 
fuel container.
