IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following
safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
I.General Operation
1. Read, understand, and follow instructions and warnings in this manual and on the machine, engine
and attachments.
2. Only allow operators, who are responsible, trained, familiar with the instructions, and physically
capable to operate the machine.
3. Do not carry passengers and keep bystanders away.
4. Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
5. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.
II. PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATING
1. Clear the operating area of any objects which could be thrown by or interfere with operation of the machine
2. Keep the area of operation clear of all bystanders, particularly small children. Stop the machine and
attachment(s) if anyone enters the area.
3. Do not operate the machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge chute, or other safety devices in place
and functioning properly. Check frequently for signs of wear or deterioration and replace as needed.
4. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection, and footwear.
III. OPERATING
1. Only operate the engine in well ventilated areas. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poison.
2. Only operate the machine in daylight or good artificial light.
3. Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine, or cause
operator to lose their balance or footing.
4. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all
times.
5. Do not direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction.
Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.
6. Do not leave a running machine unattended. Always park on level ground, disengage the attachment, set
parking brake, and stop engine.
7. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing.
IV. CHILDREN SPECIFIC
1. 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.
2. Keep children out of the operating area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
V. SLOPE SPECIFIC
Slopes are a major factor related to accidents. Operation on slopes requires extra caution.
1. Travel in the manufacturer recommended direction on slopes. Use caution while operating near drop offs.
2. Avoid mowing wet grass. (Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.)
3. Do not operate machine under any condition where traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires could
slide even if the wheels are stopped.
