SAFETY RULES
Read, understand, and follow all safety practices in
Owner/Operator Manual before beginning assembly.
Failure to follow instruction s co uld resu lt in pers onal
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.

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.

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.

• 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 i n revers e unle ss absol utely n ecessary.
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

from rods or linkages that could be damage d.
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

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.
