Safety Rules & Information

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. The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

SAFETY DECALS

This unit has been designed and manufactured to provide you with the safety and reliability you would expect from an industry leader in outdoor power equipment manufacturing.

Although reading this manual and the safety instructions it contains will provide you with the necessary basic knowledge to operate this equipment safely and effectively, we have placed several safety labels on the unit to remind you of this important information while you are operating your unit.

All DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and instructional messages on your rider, attachments and mower should be carefully read and obeyed. Personal bodily injury can result when these instructions are not followed. The information is for your safety and it is important! The safety decals below are on your product.

If any decals are lost or damaged, replace them at once. See your local dealer for replacements.

• Know the unit’s controls and how to stop quickly. READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUALS.

• Read and obey all safety decals.

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

• Disengage the PTO. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any part of the collection system.

• Check the collection system to make sure it is bolted tightly to the unit.

• DO NOT operate the unit without either the entire grass catcher or the deflector in place.

• Turn off the PTO to disengage the blades when not mowing.

• DO NOT mow in reverse. Always look down and behind before and while travelling in reverse.

• DO NOT turn sharply when travelling alongside a building or any object. Slow down before turning.

• DO NOT carry passengers.

• When collection system is removed from the mower deck, the deflector must be properly installed.

• Collector bags are subject to deterioration and wear during normal use. Inspect the bag periodically for tears, holes, or weak spots and replace with a new bag that meets manufacturer’s durability standards.

• If the mower stalls or the collector chute plugs:

1. Disengage the PTO;

2. Stop the engine and remove the key;

3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute with a piece of wood before restarting the engine.

NEVER place hands into COLLECTOR OR MOWER housing to clear jammed objectS. Blower OR MOWER may rotate when object is removed.

• For added 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.

• When operating on slopes, use front counterweights. Never operate on slopes greater than

17.6% (10°).
