CAUTION
1.4 OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the
design and configuration of the equipment, t hese factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel i nvol ved in the
operation, transport, maintenance, and st orage of t he equi pment . It is essential that all
Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating condit i on prior to use for
mowing. Refer to the Operator’s Manual for the mow er f or addi tional hazard control
and accident prevention information.

♦ An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects to
be thrown in operator’s or bystander’s direction. Also,
contact with blade could occur.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious
injury or kill you or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Never operate mower unless discharge deflector,
entire grass collection system, or mulch kit is installed.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
1.4.1 Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction and/or
tip-over could occur. The operator is responsible for safe operation on slopes.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ There are rotating blades in the blower and under the
mower deck.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Blade contact can cause serious operator or bystander
injury or even death.

WARNING
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Wheels dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks,
or water can cause rollovers, which may result in
serious injury, death or drowning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Do not mow slopes when grass is wet.
♦ Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.
♦ Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
♦ Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
♦ Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.

DANGER
• Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near drop-offs, ditches, steep
banks or water. This area can be dangerous, see Figure 1.
Figure 1
SAFE ZONE FOR MOWING
• Progressively greater care is needed as the slope increases.
• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.
• Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Mower may tip backwards.
• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill. Weight transfer to the
front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and
steering.
• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and r ises t hat change the operating angle,
as rough terrain could overturn the machine.
• Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, t r ee lim bs, et c. from the mowing area.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• The operating characteristics of the machine will change with the Ultra Vac
installed. The stability and traction of the machine will change as the Ultra Vac
hopper fills with grass clippings. Use progressively greater care on slopes as the
hopper fills.
• Always install and remove the Ultra Vac, including counterweights, as inst r ucted.
Failure to do so will cause a reduction in stability or traction. Do not operate the
mower with only a portion of the Ultra Vac installed.
1.5 SAFETY SIGNS
1.5.1 Keep all safety signs legible. Remove all grease, dirt and debris from safety signs and
instructional labels.
1.5.2 Safety signs must be replaced if they are missing or illegible.

the replaced components.
1.5.4 New safety signs may be obtained from your authorized Exmark equipment dealer or
distributor or from Exmar k Mfg. Co. Inc.
1.5.5 Safety signs may be affixed by peeling of f the backing to expose the adhesive
