with the engine running.
Check grass catcher components and the
discharge guard frequently and replace

when necessary.
Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade
or wear gloves, and use extra caution
when servicing them.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust

, Maintain or replace safety and instruction
labels, as necessary.
• 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 carry children, even with the blades
shut off. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine
operation. Children who have been given
rides in the past may suddenly appear in
the mowing area for another ride and be
run over or backed over by the machine.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and
in the watchful care of a responsible adult
other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child
enters the area.
, Before and while backing, look behind and
down for small children.
, Mow up and down slopes (15 ° Max), not
across.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you
will not have to stop or shift while on the
slope.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a
slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage
the blades and proceed slowly straight
down the slope.
, If machine stops while going uphill,
disengage blades, shift into reverse and
back down slowly.
, Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,
and then, turn slowly and gradually
downhill, if possible.
