SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

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

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the
instructions, to operate the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which
could be picked up and thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. 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 backing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point
it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without either the
entire grass catcher or the guard in place.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off
blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys
before dismounting.

• Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging
chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Do not operate the machine while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into
a trailer or truck.

II . SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover
accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel
uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes
make sudden changes in speed or direction.

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

DO NOT:

•

Do not

turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly

and gradually downhill, if possible.

•

Do not

mow near drop-offs, 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.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine
and the mowing activity.
where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind and

children.

• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with the safe machine operation.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Never

assume that children will remain

down

IV. SERVICE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They
are flammable and vapors are explosive.

- Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not
smoke.

- Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel container inside where

there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed area.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight

and keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build­up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool before
storing.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage,

and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or
allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components
and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when
necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or
wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

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

Look for this symbol to point out important
safety precautions. It means CAUTION!!!
BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY IS IN­VOLVED.

CAUTION: Always disconnect spark plug
wire and place wire where it cannot contact
spark plug in order to prevent accidental
starting when setting up, transporting,
adjusting or making repairs.

OPERATION

TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING
OPERATION:

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 per­formance.

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
first 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. Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.
b. Remove one container at a time by grasping con-

tainer handles and pulling toward the rear, off of the
tube rails.

c. With the container resting on the ground, close and

secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.

d. Tip the container on its side and slide the filled bag

from the container.

e. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges of the

bag draped over upper lip of the Container (for
replacement bags refer to REPLACEMENT

PARTS).
f. Repeat for other containers.
g. Reinstall containers making sure right container

overlaps left container at center supports.
h. 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 flow path causing clogging.

• Your bagger is equipped with a dump bag indicator. As
the bags become full, movement of the wheel will slow
down and/or stop, indicating that the bags are full or the
chutes have become clogged. 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
dump bag indicator.

a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the

parking brake and stop the engine.

- Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.

- Slide out containers and dispose of clippings .

- 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 dump bag indicator has not become

clogged.

- The air passage hole must be clear of debris.
Gently insert a small twig or wire into passage­way to clear.

CAUTION

• Do not operate mower with grass catcher
partially installed.

• Disengage blades and stop engine before
leaving tractor seat to empty containers,
unclogging chutes, etc.

• Close cover before starting.

• Disengage mower when crossing driveways

or gravel surfaces and other areas where
thrown objects could be a hazard.

• Do not attempt to vacuum up cans or other
potentially hazardous projectiles.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Always observe safety rules when performing any mainte­nance.

• Before each use check for loose fasteners.

• Clean unit thoroughly after each use.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Replace
bent or damaged blades.

• See BLADE CARE instructions in your tractor owner's
manual.

CAUTION: BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE , SERVICE OR ADJUST­MENTS:

• Depress clutch brake pedal fully and set

parking brake.

• Place gearshift/motion control lever in "NEU-

TRAL" position.

• Place clutch control in "DISENGAGED" po-

sition.

• Turn ignition key to "OFF" position.

• Make sure blades and all moving parts have

completely stopped.

• Disconnect spark plug wire(s) from spark

plug(s) and place wire where it cannot come
in contact with plug.

STORAGE

When grass catcher is to be stored for a period of time, clean
it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grass, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry place.

CAUTION: Do not leave grass in bagger
containers. Empty containers after each use
and before storing. Failure to do so may
result in spontaneous combustion which
could develop into a fire.

TO REMOVE GRASS CATCHER

Reverse appropriate steps in ASSEMBLY section of this
manual.

CAUTION: Grass catcher components are
subject to wear, damage and deteriora­tion, which could expose moving parts or
allow objects to be thrown. Frequently
check components and replace with
manufacturer's recommended parts, when
necessary.
