SAFETY
• Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off
engine and wait for all parts to come to a full
stop before cleaning the machine, removing
the grass catcher or unclogging the discharge
guard.
• Do not operate the machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Look for traffic when operating near or going
across roadways.
• Use more care when loading or removing the
machine into a trailer or truck.
• Always wear eye protection when operating
machine.
WARNING! When using the machine,
approved personal protective equipment must
be used. Personal protective equipment cannot
remove the risk of injury but it will reduce the
degree of injury if an accident does occur.
Speak to your retailer for aid in choosing the
right equipment.
• Wear correct Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) while operating this machine, including
(at a minimum) sturdy footwear, eye protection,
and hearing protection. Do not mow in shorts
and/or footwear with open toes.
• Data shows that operators age 60 years and
above are involved in a large percentage of
riding mower-related injuries. These operators
must evaluate if they can safely operate the
riding mower sufficiently to protect themselves
and others from serious injury.
• Obey the manufacturer's recommendation for
wheel weights or counterweights.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other
debris buildup which can touch hot exhaust or
engine parts and burn. Do not let the mower
deck plow leaves or other debris that can cause
a buildup to occur. Clean oil or fuel spillage
before operating or storing the machine.
• Let machine cool before storage.
Personal Safety Equipment
• Make sure that first
aid equipment is
near at hand when
using the machine.
• Do not use the
machine when
barefoot.
• Always wear
protective shoes or boots. Steel toe caps are
recommended.
8
• Always wear approved protective glasses or a
full visor when assembling or driving.
• Always wear gloves when handling the blades.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can become
caught in moving parts.
• Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major cause related to loss of
control and tip-over accidents, which can result in
severe injury or death. Operation on slopes
requires more care. If you cannot back up the
slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
• Mow up and down
slopes (10 degrees
maximum), not
across.
• Look for holes, ruts,
bumps, rocks, or
other hidden objects.
Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Select a low ground speed so it will not be
necessary to stop while on the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires can lose
traction.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If
the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and
continue slowly straight down the slope.
• Move slowly and
gradually on slopes.
Do not make
sudden changes in
speed or direction,
which could cause
machine to roll over.
• Use more care while
operating machine with grass catchers or other
attachments; the stability of the machine can be
effected.
• Do not use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a
foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could suddenly
roll over if a wheel is over the edge or the edge
caves in.
WARNING! Do not drive up or down hills
with slopes greater than 10 degrees. Do not
drive across slopes.
