SAFETY RULES
Operation
Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the
manual and on the machine before starting:
•How to operate all controls
•The functions of all controls
•How to stop in an emergency
•Braking and steering characteristics
•Turning radius and clearances
•Speed ranges
ALWAYS keep protective structures, guards, and panels
in good repair, in place and securely fastened.
Complete a walk-around inspection of the unit and work
area.
Before starting engine: disengage PTO and set parking
brake.
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.
ALWAYS disengage PTO, stop unit and engine, remove
key, engage parking brake and allow moving parts to stop
before leaving operator’s position.
ALWAYS remove key to prevent unauthorized use.
Check for weak spots on dock, ramps or floors. Avoid
uneven work areas and rough terrain.
Dust, smoke, fog, etc. can reduce vision and cause an
accident. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing
roadways.
Only allow responsible adults who are trained and
familiar with the instructions to operate the machine.
Training includes actual operation.
Clear the area of objects such as tree branches, rocks,
toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by
the blades. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Be sure the area is clear of people before mowing. Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.
GB - 6
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while backing.
Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not
point it at anyone. Always stand clear of discharge area.
DO NOT operate at too fast a rate.
DO NOT change engine governor settings or over-speed
engine. Slow down before turning.
Disengage PTO when attachment is not in use. ALWAYS
turn off power to attachment when transporting, crossing
driveways, etc.
Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging
chute.
Do not operate mower unless bagger is attached or
guards are in operating position.
If you cannot back up a slope or you feel uneasy on it, do
not mow it.
Operate up and down slopes, not across slopes. DO
NOT operate on slopes of more than 17˚. Keep all
movement on slopes slow and gradual. DO NOT make
sudden changes in speed or direction. Use a slow speed
to avoid stops or shifts on slopes. Avoid starting or
stopping on a slope. Use of a Roll Over Protection
System (ROPS) is recommended for slope operation.
Use slow speed on any slope. Choose a low gear so that
you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine. Use only
approved hitch points.
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.
Do not mow near dropoffs, ditches, or embankments. The
mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the
edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.
Do not park on slopes unless necessary. When parking
on slope always chock or block wheels. Always set
parking brake.
Know the weight of loads. Limit loads to those you can
safely control and the unit can safely handle.
Use only attachments or accessories designed for your
unit.
Check attachment components frequently. If worn or
damaged, replace with manufacturer’s recommended
parts.
Personal
Never carry passengers.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while
operating your tractor or performing any adjustments or
repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over
eye glasses, or standard safety glasses.
Protect eyes, face and head from objects that may be
thrown from unit. Wear appropriate hearing protection.
NEVER wear open sandals or canvas shoes during
operation. Wear adequate safety gear, protective gloves
and footwear.
Avoid slippery surfaces. Always be sure of your footing.
Keep all nonskid surfaces clean. Replace safety treads if
worn, damaged, or missing.
Always keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Do
not step on mower deck when mounting, operating or
dismounting tractor.
Stay away from moving parts.
NEVER operate the machine after or during the use of
medication, alcohol or drugs. Safe operation requires
your complete and unimpaired attention at all times.
NEVER allow anyone to operate this unit when their
alertness or coordination is impaired.
Do not touch parts which are hot from operation.
ALWAYS allow parts to cool.
Always keep hands away from all pinch points.
NEVER place your hands or any part of your body or
clothing inside or near any moving part while unit is
running.
DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Tie back hair that
may get caught in rotating parts.
Always stand clear of discharge area.
Keep people away from unit while operating.
Shut off engine, remove key, read manual before you
unplug, adjust or repair unit.
DO NOT run engine in an enclosed area. Always provide
good ventilation. Fumes from engine exhaust can cause
injury or death.
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.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
Be alert and turn off machine if children enter the area.
Before and when backing up, look behind and down for
