Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop blades if
not mowing.

dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Do not place your foot on the ground while
operating the machine.
Before operating, lower the discharge chute,
install the mulcher or put the entire grass catcher
in place.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Never direct the discharge toward a bystander.
Stop operation if someone approaches.
Keep washout ports and other mower housing
service openings closed when mowing.
Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
