SAFETY RULES

Read, understand, and follow all safety practices in Owner/Operator Manual before beginning assembly. Failure to follow instructions could result in personal injury and/or damage to unit.

ALWAYS remove key and/or wire from spark plug before assembly. Unintentional engine start up can cause death or serious injury.

Complete a walk around inspection of unit and work area to understand:

• Work area • Your unit • All safety decals

ALWAYS check overhead and side clearances carefully before operation. ALWAYS be aware of traffic when operating along streets or curbs.

Keep children and people away.

Keep children out of work area and under watchful care of a responsible adult.

Keep area of operation clear of all toys, pets, and debris. Thrown objects can cause injury.

Check for weak spots on docks, ramps or floors. Avoid uneven work areas and rough terrain. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.

DO NOT operate near drop offs, ditches, or embankments. Unit can suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

Data indicates that operators, age 60 and above, are involved in a larger percentage of riding mower related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

Read the entire Owner/Operator manual and other training material. If the operator or the mechanic cannot read the manual, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain it to them. Only the user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, other people or property.

Only trained adults may operate or service unit.

Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

Training includes actual operation.

NEVER allow children to operate or play on or near unit. Be alert and shut off unit if children enter area.

NEVER operate unit after or during the use of medication, drugs or alcohol. Safe operation requires your complete and unimpaired attention at all times.

DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry and tie back hair that may get caught in rotating parts.

Wear adequate outer garments.

GB - 7

NEVER wear open sandals or canvas shoes during operation. Wear adequate safety gear, protective gloves and footwear.

Wear proper footwear to improve footing on slippery surfaces.

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating mower.

Moving parts can cut or amputate fingers or a hand. Wrap blade(s) or wear gloves to service. On multiblade mowers, rotation of one blade will cause all blades to rotate.

NEVER place your hands or any part of your body or clothing inside or near any moving part while unit is running.

ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from all rotating parts during operation. Rotating parts can cut off body parts.

ALWAYS keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles which eject hydraulic fluid under pressure.

DO NOT touch parts which are hot. Allow parts to cool.

ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from all pinch points.

Fumes from the engine exhaust can cause death or serious injury. DO NOT run engine in an enclosed area. Always provide good ventilation.

Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the machine before starting.

Understand:

How to operate all controls

The functions of all controls

How to STOP in an Emergency

Braking and steering characteristics

Turning radius and clearances

Keep safety devices or guards in place and functioning properly. NEVER modify or remove safety devices.

Ensure Safety Interlock System is functioning properly. DO NOT operate unit if safety interlock is damaged or disabled.

Start and operate unit only when seated in operator’s position. Steering control levers must be in neutral, PTO disengaged and parking brake set when starting engine.

Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure vision.

Dust, smoke, fog, etc. can reduce vision and cause an accident. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Avoid slippery surfaces. Always be sure of your footing.

DO NOT mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding and effect the machine’s stability.

Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

Never carry passengers.

DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

Never direct discharge towards persons or property that may be injured or damaged by thrown objects. Use extreme caution on gravel surfaces.

Always stand clear of the discharge area.

ALWAYS disengage PTO, stop unit and engine, remove key, engage parking brake and allow moving parts to stop before leaving operator’s position.

Never engage PTO while raising attachment or when attachment is in raised position.

DO NOT operate at too fast a rate. DO NOT change engine governor settings or over-speed engine. Slow down before turning.

DO NOT operate in reverse unless absolutely necessary. ALWAYS look down and behind before and while backing.

If equipment vibrates abnormally, stop engine at once, wait for moving parts to stop and remove wire from spark plug. Repair any damage before restarting unit.

Take all possible precautions when leaving unit unattended. Shut off engine. Remove wire from spark plug and secure it away from spark plug.

ALWAYS remove key to prevent unauthorized use.

Know the weight of loads. Limit loads to those you can safely control and the unit can safely handle.

Disengage PTO when attachment is not in use. ALWAYS turn off power to attachment when travelling, crossing driveways, etc.

Mow up and down slopes, not across them.

DO NOT operate on slopes of more than 17 degrees.

Use of a Rollover Protection System (ROPS) is recommended for slope operation. See Accessories on page 26.

Always wear a seat belt when operating unit using a Rollover Protection System (ROPS).

Keep all movements on the slope slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stopping on the slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

If you cannot back up a slope or you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO NOT park on slopes unless necessary. When parking on slope always chock or block wheels. Always engage parking brake.

Use a slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly.

Do not bypass transmission when on a slope.

Use extra care when loading or unloading unit onto trailer or truck.

GB - 8

Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. NEVER secure from rods or linkages that could be damaged.

DO NOT transport machine while engine is running.

ALWAYS turn off power to attachment when transporting.

Keep unit free of debris. Clean up oil or fuel spills.

This product is equipped with an internal combustion type engine. DO NOT use unit on or near any unimproved, forest-covered or brush covered land unless exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local, state or federal laws. A spark arrester, if it is used, must be maintained in effective working order by operator.

Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive. Handle with care. Use an approved fuel container.

NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames. ALWAYS allow engine to cool before servicing.

NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot from operation.

NEVER fill or drain fuel tank indoors.

Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled fuel.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fuelling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

Avoid Electric Shock. Objects contacting both battery terminals at the same time may result in injury and unit damage. DO NOT reverse battery connections.

Explosive Gases from battery can cause death or serious injury. Poisonous battery fluid contains sulfuric acid and its contact with skin, eyes or clothing can cause severe chemical burns.

No flames, No sparks, No smoking near battery.

ALWAYS wear safety glasses and protective gear near battery.

DO NOT TIP battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.

ALWAYS keep batteries out of reach of children.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

ALWAYS block wheels and know all jack stands are strong and secure and will hold weight of unit during maintenance.

Release pressure slowly from components with stored energy.

Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and keep equipment in good condition.

NEVER attempt to make any adjustments to unit while engine is running (except where specifically recommended). Stop engine, remove key or spark plug wire and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing or cleaning.

Check parking brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.

ALWAYS maintain unit in safe operating condition. Damaged or worn out muffler can cause fire or explosion.

NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames. ALWAYS allow engine to cool before servicing.

Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as necessary.

NEVER store unit with fuel in fuel tank, inside a building where any ignition sources are present.

Shut off fuel and allow engine to cool completely before storing in closed area or covering unit.

Clean grass and debris from unit, especially from around muffler and engine, to help prevent fires.

For extended storage, shut off fuel and clean unit thoroughly. See engine manual for proper storage.

Lower cutting deck unless a positive mechanical lock is used.

Use only attachments or accessories designed for your unit.

Check attachment components frequently. If worn or damaged, replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts.
