DANGER
Operating on slopes, or near water, or drop-offs can result
in loss of control and roll-over.
• Mow up and down slopes not across.
• Reduce speed and be careful on slopes.
• Do not operate on slopes over 10 degrees, which is a
3.5 foot rise over a 20 foot length.
• Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths of
clearance around water, retaining walls, or drop-offs.
• Avoid mowing wet grass.
• Do not operate machine under any condition where
traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires could
slide even if the wheels are stopped.
• Avoid starting and stopping on slopes.
• Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Make turns slowly and gradually.
• Be careful while operating machine with a grass catcher
or other attachment(s). They can affect the stability of
the machine.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
See Towed Equipment.
5. Make sure that the operating area is clear of bystanders,
especially children.
DANGER
This rider mower is capable of amputating hands and feet.
• Stop the mower when children or others are near.
• Keep children out of the operating area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not carry passengers, especially children, even
with the blade(s) shut off. Children can fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine
operation. Children who have been given rides in
the past can suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed over by the
machine.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that obscure vision.

Safety Interlock System Tests

This machine is equipped with a Safety Interlock System.
Do not attempt to bypass or tamper with the switches and
devices.
WARNING
If the machine does not pass a safety test, do not
operate the machine. See an authorized dealer.
Test 1 — Engine should NOT crank if
• The Power-Take-Off (PTO) switch is ON, OR
10
• The brake pedal is NOT fully depressed (parking brake
OFF).
Test 2 — Engine SHOULD crank and start if
• The PTO switch is OFF, AND
• The Brake pedal is fully depressed (parking brake ON).
Test 3 — Engine should SHUT OFF if
• The operator rises off the seat with the PTO engaged.
• The operator rises off the seat with the brake pedal NOT
fully depressed (parking brake OFF).
Test 4 — Mower Blade Stopping Time Check
• The mower blades and mower drive belt should come to
a complete stop within five seconds after the PTO switch
is turned OFF.
• If the drive belt does not stop within five seconds, see an
authorized dealer.
Test 5 — Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) Check
• The engine should shut off if reverse travel is attempted
if the PTO has been switched ON and the RMO has not
been activated.
• The RMO light should come on when the RMO has been
activated.
DANGER
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders. Tragic
accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Never activate the Reverse Mowing
Option (RMO) if children are present. Children are often
attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.
