Slope Operation
Slopes are related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents,
which can cause severe injury or death. Exercise caution
on all slopes. Do not mow on a slope with an incline of
greater than 15 degrees.
DO
• Mow up and down slopes (15° Max.), not across.
• Remove obstacles before mowing.
• Watch for uneven terrain which could overturn the
machine. Be aware that tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Use slow speed and avoid stopping on a slope.
• The grass catcher can change the stability of the
machine. Keep all movement on slopes slow and
gradual. Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction
and stopping and starting on slopes.
• If tires lose traction,stop the blades and guide the MPV
slowly down the slope.
DO NOT
• Do not mow near drop-off, ditches, or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff or ditch,or if an edge caves in.
• 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.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• NEVER allow children to operate the machine.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn off the machine if children enter the
area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
• Remove & store key when machine is not in operation
or unattended to prevent unauthorized operation.

Service
The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects
thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while
operating your mower or performing any adjustments or
repairs.
We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles
or standard safety glasses.
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They
are flammable and vapors are explosive.
• Use only an approved container.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running.
• Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• Do not smoke.
• Never refuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, such as a water heater.
• Never run a machine inside a closed area.
• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts,
tight and keep equipment in good condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris
buildup. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool
before storing.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine
running.
• Grass catcher components are subject to wear,
damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving
parts or allow objects to be thrown.
• Frequently check components and replace with
manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s)
or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing
them.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service
as shown in the Operator's Manual.
