Safety
Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of
control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or
equipment. This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. The
triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.
PREPARATION
1. Do not operate the equipment without wearing
adequate outer garments and safety goggles.
Avoid loose-fitting clothes and use protective
footwear that will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.
TRAINING
1. Read the operating and service instructions
carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the equipment. Know how
to stop the unit and disengage the control quickly.
2. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children, and pets.
GENERAL OPERATION
1 Know the tractor controls and how to stop quickly.
READ THE TRACTOR OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
2 Read and obey all safety decals.
Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with
the instructions, to operate the unit.
3 Disengage the electric clutch (PTO). Shut off the
engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before
attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any part of
the collection system.
4 Check the collection system to make sure it is
bolted tightly to the tractor.
5 DO NOT operate the mower without either the
entire grass catcher or the deflector in place.
6 Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the blades
when not mowing.
7 DO NOT mow in reverse. Always look down and
behind before and while travelling in reverse.
8 DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a
building or any object. Slow down before turning.
9 DO NOT carry passengers on the tractor.
10 When blower assembly is removed from the
mower deck, the deflector must be properly
installed.
11 If the mower stalls or the turbo blower chute plugs:
a. Disengage the electric clutch (PTO);
b. Stop the engine and remove the key;
c. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
D. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute with a
piece of wood before restarting the engine.
NEVER place hands into blower housing to clear
jammed object. Blower may rotate when object is
removed.
12 For added tractor stability and to prevent tipping or
loss of control:
a. Use reduced speed on uneven ground and
when turning corners.
b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended
that the collection system be kept only half full
when negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on
slopes when the collection system is empty.
c. Mow up and down the face of slopes; never
across the face of any slope.
12. Never operate the machine without proper guards,
plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
13. Use only attachments and accessories approved
of by the manufacturer or the machine.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the unit and the operating activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the unit.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Keep machine, attachments, and accessories in
safe working condition.
2. Clear debris from machine before each use.
3. Always refer to the operating instructions for
important details if the machine is to be stored for
an extended period.
4. The collector bag will deteriorate with time and
use. Inspect it regularly and replace if it becomes
worn.
