Take all possible precautions when leaving 
unit unattended.
ALWAYS shut off engine, remove key

unauthorized use.
Stop engine if anyone enters the work area.
NEVER attempt to make any adjustments to

for all moving parts to stop before servicing. 
DO NOT make cutting height wheel 
adjustments while the engine is running.
If you strike an object, or if equipment 
vibrates abnormally, stop engine at once, wait 
for moving parts to stop and disconnect wire 
from spark plug. Repair any damage before 
restarting unit.

grass bag.
When mulching or bagging, ALWAYS install

Check grass bag for wear, damage, and/or 
deterioration. Replace only with Ariens 
original equipment replacement parts for

To reduce fire hazard and overheating, keep

excessive lubricants.
Use extra care when approaching blind 
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects which 
may obscure vision.
DO NOT mow at too fast a rate. DO NOT 
change engine governor setting or over-
speed the engine.
Do not operate mower on gravel or loose 
material such as sand. Stop mower when 
crossing drives, walks, or roads to prevent 
damage or injury from thrown objects.
DO NOT pull mower backwards unless 
absolutely necessary. Look down and back, 
especially for small children, before and while 
moving backwards.
On self-propelled models, releasing wheel 
drive control must stop mower’s forward 
movement. If this feature fails to operate, 
disconnect spark plug wire and repair before 
using unit. 
On self-propelled models, wheel drive must 
be disengaged when starting engine.

down. Be especially cautious when changing 
direction on slopes.
This product is equipped with an internal 
combustion engine. DO NOT use on or near 
any unimproved, forest or brush covered land 
unless the exhaust system is equipped with a 
spark arrestor meeting applicable local, state 
or federal laws. A spark arrestor, if used, 
must be maintained in effective working order 
by the operator. See your Ariens Dealer or 
engine manufacturer’s service center.

place containers on the ground away from 
your vehicle before filling.
When practical, remove gas-powered 
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel 
it on the ground. If this is not possible, then 
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a 
portable container, rather than from a 
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
