SAFETY RULES
DANGER: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CA PA BLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING 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 instructions on the 
machine and in the manual before starting.
•  Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the 
machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
•  Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the 
instructions, 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 bystanders before operating. 
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
•  Never carry passengers.
•  Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. 
Always look down and behind before and while backing.
•  Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid 
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Ma-
terial may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the 
blade when crossing gravel surfaces.
•  Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, 
discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and 
working.
•  Slow down before turning.
•  Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn 
off blade, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove 
keys before dismounting.
•  Disengage blade when not mowing. Shut off engine 
and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before 
cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or 
unclogging the discharge chute.
•  Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial light.
•  Do not operate the machine while under the influence 
of alcohol or drugs.
•  Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing road-
ways.
•  Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine 
into a trailer or truck.
•  Always wear eye protection when operating machine.
•  Data indicates that operators age 60 years and above are 
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.
•  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 
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or 
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If 
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, 
do not mow it.
•  Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
•  Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden 
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. 
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•  Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have 
to stop or shift while on the slope.
•  Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.
•  Always keep the machine in gear when going down 
slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
•  If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blade, 
shift into reverse, and back down slowly.
•  Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires 
lose traction, disengage the blade and proceed slowly 
straight down the slope.
•  Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do 
not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which 
could cause the machine to roll over.
•  Use extra care while operating machine with grass catch-
ers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of 
the machine.
•  Do no use on steep slopes.
•  Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot 
on the ground.
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill 
in neutral, you may lose control of the 
riding mower.
