Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROW ING OBJECTS. FAILURE
TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,
WARNING: In order to prevent ac­ ci den tal starting when setting up, trans port ing, ad just ing or making re­pairs, al ways dis con nect spark plug wire and place wire where it can not contact spark plug.
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill in neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.
WARNING: Tow only the attachments that are rec om mend ed by and comply with spec i fi ca tions of the man u fac tur er of your tractor. Use common sense when towing. Operate only at the low­ est possible speed when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is dan ger ous. Tires can lose trac tion with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.
I. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before starting.
• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the in struc tions, to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.
• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat­ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al­ways look down and behind before and while back ing.
• Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Ma­terial may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blades when crossing gravel surfaces.
• Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, or other safety devices in place and working.
• Slow down before turning.
• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.
• Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard.
• Operate machine only in daylight or good artifi cial light.
• Do not operate the machine while under the infl uence of alcohol or drugs.
• Watch for traffi c when operating near or crossing road ways.
• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.
• Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-re­lated injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect them selves and others from serious injury.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.
• Keep machine free of grass , leaves or other debris build-up which can touch hot exhaust/engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves or other debris which can cause build-up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
• Mow up and down slopes, not across.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.
Always keep the machine in gear when going down
slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating machine with grass catchers or other at tach ments; they can affect the stability of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge caves in.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the ma chine and the mowing activity. children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
• Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.
• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.
Never

IV. TOWING
• Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
• Never allow children or others in or on towed equip­ment.
• On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.
• Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
V. SERVICE
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and the vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.
• Use only approved gasoline container.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• Never fuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open fl ame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.
• Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle when fi lling.
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment 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 fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi­ately.
• Never overfi ll fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.
GENERAL SERVICE
• Never operate machine in a closed are.
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel­soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.
• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the
machine. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine run ning.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec­ommended parts, when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

• Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
• Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.
• Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
• If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift into reverse and back down slowly.

OPERATION

TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING OPE RA TION:
Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor owner's manual.
When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time. The amount collected and the total time of operation may be greater than you will experience with regular use of your grass catcher.
• Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.
• Select a gear low enough to give good mower cutting performance, good quality cut and good bagging per for man ce.
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit your conditions.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice. The fi rst time relatively high, the second time to desired height.
• Use left hand side of mower for trimming.
• Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash bags when full:
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, en ga ge the
par king brake and stop the engine. b. Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover. c. Remove one container at a time by grasping
con tai ner handles and pulling toward the rear, off
of the tube rails. d. With the container resting on the ground, close
and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag. e. Tip the container on its side and slide the fi lled bag
from the container. f. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges of
the bag draped over upper lip of the container. g. Repeat for other containers. h. Reinstall containers making sure right con tai ner
overlaps left container at center supports. j. Close cover and secure latches over center support
tubes.
• Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the fl ow path causing clogging.
• Your bagger is equipped with a full bagger indicator. Movement of the wheel increases as the bags fi ll. The wheel will be spinning fastest just before the bags fi ll completely. When the wheel stops, it indicates that the bags are full and the chutes have become clogged.
NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes, check/empty bags when the wheel is spinning fast. Experience will teach you the best time to empty the bags.
Care should be taken not to damage the parts and that
the wheel spins freely at the beginning of each use.
• If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the system or that the grass catcher containers are full. Usually this is indicated by the stopped movement of the full bagger indicator.
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, en ga ge the
par king brake and stop the engine.
- Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.
- Slide out containers and dispose of clip pings .
- Replace containers, close cover, and latch.
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.
- Remove all debris in chutes.
- Reassemble and latch chutes
c. Check to insure full bagger indicator has not become
clogged.
- The air passage hole must be clear of debris. Gently insert a small twig or wire into pas sage way to clear.
CAUTION
• Do not operate mower with grass catch er par tial ly installed.
• Disengage blades and stop engine be fore leav ing tractor seat to empty con tain ers, un clog ging chutes, etc.
• Close cover before starting.
• Disengage mower when crossing drive ways or gravel surfaces and other areas where thrown objects could be a hazard.
• Do not attempt to vacuum up cans or other potentially hazardous pro jec tiles.
