OPERATOR SAFETY
Operating Safety
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn and
garden equipment. Our products are designed and manufactured to
meet or exceed all industry standards for safety.
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or
not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are
responsible for your safety and that of those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you
are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely
done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a
professional: contact your local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to
be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features
and controls, and maintenance information is included to help you
get the most out of your equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found
on the following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a
risk that children may enter the area where you are mowing, have another responsible adult watch them.
DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES ON THIS UNIT! This
encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it
is running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then
approach the unit for a ride when you are not expecting it,
and you may run over them.
6 www.simplicitymfg.com
Reverse
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look
down and behind before and
while traveling in reverse
even with the mower
blades disengaged.
3.5 ft
(1,5 m)
20.0 ft (6,0 m)
Slope Operation
You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this unit on too
steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or where you
don’t have adequate traction can cause you to lose control or roll over.
A good rule of thumb is to not operate on any slope you cannot back up
(in 2-wheel drive mode). You should not operate on inclines with a slope
greater than a 3.5 ft (1,5 m) rise over a 20.0 ft (6,0 m) length. Always
drive up and down slopes: never cross the face.
Also note that the surface you are driving on can greatly impact stability
and control. Wet grass or icy pavement can seriously affect your ability
to control the unit.
If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don’t do it. It’s
not worth the risk.
Moving Parts
This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else. However, if you are seated in the seat properly, and follow all the rules in this book, the
unit is safe to operate.
The mower deck has spinning mower blades that can amputate hands and feet.
Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running!
To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is equipped with an operatorpresent safety system. Do NOT attempt to alter or bypass the system. See your
dealer immediately if the system does not pass all the safety interlock system
tests found in this manual.
OPERATOR SAFETY
Fuel and Maintenance
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and
can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not
as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its vapors
can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an
approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the tractor fuel tank with the cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be
sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.
Thrown Objects
This unit has spinning mower blades. These blades can pick up and throw debris
that could seriously injure a bystander. Be sure to clean up the area to be
mowed BEFORE you start mowing.
Do not operate this unit without the entire grass catcher or discharge guard (deflector) in place.
Also, do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running! If someone does
enter the area, shut the unit off immediately until they leave.
7
OPERATOR 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.

into a trailer or truck.
17. Always wear eye protection when operating this unit.
18. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and
above, are involved in a large percentage of power
equipment-related injuries. These operators should
evaluate their ability to operate the equipment safely
enough to protect themselves and others from injury.
19. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights.
20. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents
occurring to other people or property.
21. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and
practical instruction.
22. Always wear substantial footwear and trousers.
Never operate when barefoot or wearing sandals.
23. Before using, always visually check that the blades
and blade hardware are present, intact, and secure.
Replace worn or damaged parts.
24. Disengage attachments before: refueling, removing

25. When the machine is parked, stored, or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used.
26. Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason,
engage the parking brake (if equipped), disengage
the PTO, stop the engine, and remove the key.
27. To reduce fire hazard, keep the unit free of grass,
leaves, & excess oil. Do not stop or park over dry
leaves, grass, or combustible materials.
28. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code
Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on or near
any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered
land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a
spark arrester meeting any applicable local or state
laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar
laws.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
1. When transporting the unit on an open trailer, make
sure it is facing forward, in the direction of travel. If
the unit is facing backwards, wind lift could damage
the unit.
2. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the unit after transportation or
storage.
3. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly
ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.)
and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to
humans and animals.

4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for
storage preparations before storing the unit for both
short and long term periods.
5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for
proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to
service.
6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a
water heater. Allow unit to cool before storing.
OPERATOR SAFETY
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover 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 operate on it.
Control of a walk-behind or ride-on machine sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the application of the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are: insufficient tire
grip on the ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the
type of machine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness
of the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop
or change speeds while on the slope.
4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may loose traction.
5. Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling
down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction,
which could cause the machine to rollover.
8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the unit. Do not use on steep slopes.
9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your
foot on the ground (ride-on units).
10. 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.
11. Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.
12. Do not mow slopes you cannot back up them.
13. See your authorized dealer/retailer for recommendations of wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
14. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
15. Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes
even through the brakes are functioning properly.
16. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
WARNING
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent
(10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in
20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.
When operating on slopes use additional wheel
weights or counterweights. See your dealer/retailer to
determine which weights are available and
appropriate for your unit.
Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope.
In addition to front weights, use extra caution when
operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass
catchers.
Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face,
use caution when changing directions and DO NOT
START OR STOP ON SLOPE.
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 mowing activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and
down for small children.
4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe unit 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.
5. Never allow children to operate the unit.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
EMISSIONS
1. Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
2. Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and
Air Index information on the engine emissions label.
TOWED EQUIPMENT (RIDE-ON UNITS)
1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
weight limit for towed equipment and towing on
slopes.
3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.
IGNITION SYSTEM
1. This spark ignition system complies with Canadian
ICES-002.

MAINTENANCE
Storage
WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,
poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to
an ignition source (such as a furnace, water
heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel
vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or
other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and remove
the key.
Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool,
dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the
battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® fuel stabilizer,
available as a liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the
engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout
the fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored
up to 24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.
Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a
fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See
Engine Manual.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

Power Rating
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are
derived at 3600 RPM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are
collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by,
among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on
which engines are placed, the gas engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power
equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air
cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.

FØRERSIKKERHED
Betjeningssikkerhed
Tillykke med købet af en plæne- og havetraktor af enestående kvalitet.
Vore produkter er udviklet og fabrikeret til at imødekomme eller overgå alle
industristandarder for sikkerhed.
Motoriseret udstyr er kun så sikkert som føreren. Hvis det misbruges eller
ikke vedligeholdes korrekt, kan det være farligt! Husk, at du er ansvarlig
for både din egen og omkringståendes sikkerhed.
Brug sund fornuft og gennemtænk, hvad du vil gøre. Hvis du ikke er sikker
på, at det arbejde, du er i færd med at påbegynde, kan udføres på en
sikker måde med det udstyr, du har valgt, så spørg en professionel. Henvend dig til din autoriserede forhandler.
Læs manualen
Betjeningsvejledningen indeholder vigtige sikkerhedsoplysninger, som man skal
være bekendt med FØR såvel som UNDER brug af udstyret.
Sikker betjening, forklaringer af produktets egenskaber og kontrolfunktioner, samt vedligeholdelsesoplysninger er inkluderet for at hjælpe dig få
mest muligt ud af din investering i udstyret.
Læs de sikkerhedsregler og oplysninger, som findes på de følgende
sider, grundigt og fuldstændigt. Læs også afsnittet Betjening fuldstændigt.
Børn
Tragiske ulykker kan forekomme med børn. Lad dem end ikke
komme tæt på det område, hvor du arbejder med traktoren.
Børn føler sig ofte tiltrukket af maskinen og klippeaktiviteten.
Gå aldrig ud fra, at børnene vil forblive, hvor du sidst så dem.
Hvis der er risiko for, at børn kan komme ind i det område,
hvor du klipper, skal du have en anden ansvarsbevidst voksen
til holde øje med dem.
LAD IKKE BØRN KØRE MED PÅ TRAKTOREN! Dette kunne
på et senere tidspunkt opmuntre dem til at komme tæt på
traktoren, mens den kører, og de kunne komme alvorligt til
skade. De kan måske komme tæt op på traktoren for at køre
med, når du mindst venter det, og du kunne køre over dem.
6 www.simplicitymfg.com
Bakgear
Klip ikke under baglænskørsel, med
mindre det er strengt nødvendigt. Se
altid nedad og bagud, før eller
imens du kører baglæns,
selv med klipperen
koblet fra.
Kørsel på skråninger
3.5 ft
(1,5 m)
20.0 ft (6,0 m)
Du kan komme alvorligt til skade eller endda miste livet, hvis du kører
med traktoren på en skråning, som er for stejl. Hvis du bruger maskinen på en skråning, som er for stejl, eller hvor du ikke har god traktion,
kan du miste kontrollen og vælte.
En god tommelfingerregel er ikke at bruge maskinen på nogen skråning, hvor du ikke kan bakke op (med 2-hjulstræk). Bør ikke anvendes
på skråninger med en hældning der er større end 1,5 m (3,5 ft) og med
en stigning over 6,0 m (20 ft) i længden.Kør altid op og ned ad
skråninger, aldrig på tværs.
Bemærk også, at den overflade, du kører på, har stor indflydelse på
stabilitet og kontrol. Vådt græs eller isbelagte overflader kan mindske
din kontrol over maskinen betydeligt.
Hvis du ikke føler dig sikker på, om du burde bruge maskinen på en
skråning, så lad være. Det er ikke risikoen værd.
Bevægelige dele
Denne maskine har mange bevægelige dele, som kan forårsage tilskadekomst for
dig selv eller andre. Men hvis du sidder rigtigt i sædet og følger reglerne i denne
håndbog, er det sikkert at bruge maskinen.
Klipperen har roterende knive, som kan amputere hænder og fødder. Lad ingen
omkringstående komme nær maskinen, mens den kører!
For at hjælpe dig, føreren, med at bruge denne maskine på en sikker måde, er
den udstyret med et “føreren til stede”-sikkerhedssystem. Forsøg IKKE på at
modificere eller omgå systemet. Henvend dig omgående til din forhandler, hvis
systemet ikke består alle de sikkerhedsblokeringsprøver, som findes i denne
håndbog.
FØRERSIKKERHED
Udslyngende genstande
Denne maskine har roterende klipperknive. Disse knive kan gribe fat i og kaste
genstande og andet materiale ud således, at omkringstående kan komme til
skade. Gør det område, der skal klippes, rent FØR du begynder at klippe!
Brug ikke maskinen med mindre hele græsopsamleren, udkastskærmen (deflektor) og andet nødvendigt sikkerhedsudstyr er installeret.
Og tillad ingen omkringstående i området, mens maskinen kører! Hvis nogen
kommer ind på området, så sluk straks for maskinen, indtil de går bort igen.
Brændstof og vedligeholdelse
Benzin er meget brandfarligt. Dens dampe er også yderst brandfarlige, og
kan drive hen til fjernereliggende antændelseskilder. Benzin må kun bruges
som brændstof, ikke som opløsningsmiddel eller rengøringsmiddel. Den må
aldrig opbevares i noget område, hvor dampe kan ansamles eller drive hen
til antændelseskilder som f.eks vågeblus. Brændstof hører hjemme i en
godkendt, aflukket benzindunk i plastik, eller i traktorens brændstoftank med
dækslet forsvarligt skruet til. Spildt brændstof skal viskes op omgående.
Korrekt vedligeholdelse er kritisk for maskinens sikkerhed og god ydeevne.
Vær sikker på, at du får alle vedligeholdelsesprocedurer udført, ikke mindst
regelmæssig afprøvning af sikkerhedssystemet.

FØRERSIKKERHED
Læs disse sikkerhedsregler og følg dem omhyggeligt. Hvis du ikke overholder disse sikkerhedsregler, kan det
medføre tab af kontrol over maskinen, personlig tilskadekomst eller død for dig selv eller omkringstående,
eller beskadigelse af maskinen eller anden ejendom.
Klipperen er i stand til at amputere hænder og fødder og til at kaste genstande omkring.
Trekanten hvor den forekommer i teksten, angiver vigtige forholdsregler eller advarsler, som skal følges.
GENEREL BETJENING
1. Læs, forstå og følg alle anvisninger i håndbogen og
på maskinen før start.
2. Hold ikke hænder eller fødder nær de roterende dele
eller under maskinen. Hold dig altid på afstand af udkaståbningen.
3. Tillad kun ansvarsbevidste voksne, som er bekendt
med betjeningsanvisningerne, at køre med dette udstyr (lokale forordninger kan muligvis pålægge begrænsninger vedrørende førerens alder).
4. Gør området rent for genstande som sten, legetøj,
ståltråd og andet, som ellers kan blive samlet op og
kastet ud fra klipperen knive.
5. Vær sikker på, at omkringstående har forladt området, før du begynder at klippe. Stands maskinen,
hvis nogen kommer ind i området.
6. Tillad aldrig passagerer.
7. Klip ikke under baglænskørsel, med mindre det er
strengt nødvendigt. Se altid nedad og bagud, før og
imens du kører baglæns.
8. Vend aldrig udkastmaterialet efter nogen. Undgå at
udkaste materiale imod en mur eller nogen anden
forhindring. Materialet kan slynges tilbage mod føreren. Stands kniven(e), når du kører over grusbelagte overflader.
9. Brug ikke maskinen med mindre hele græsopsamleren, udkastskærmen (deflektor) eller andet nødvendigt sikkerhedsudstyr er installeret.
10. Tag farten af, før du drejer.
11. Efterlad aldrig en maskine gående uden opsyn. Slå
altid knivene (PTO) fra, sæt parkeringsbremsen til,
stands motoren og fjern nøglerne, før du står af maskinen.
12. Kobl knivene (PTO) fra, når du ikke umiddelbart er i
færd med at klippe. Sluk for motoren og vent, indtil
alle maskinens dele er standset helt, før rengøring af
maskinen, aftagning af græsopsamleren eller udrensning af udkastskærmen.
13. Brug kun maskinen i dagslys eller ved godt kunstigt lys.
14. Brug ikke maskinen, mens du er under indflydelse af
alkohol, medicin eller narkotika.
15 Hold øje med trafikken, når du bruger maskinen nær
ved eller kører over veje.
16. Vær ekstra forsigtig ved af- eller pålæsning af maskinen på en påhængsvogn eller lastvogn.
17. Brug altid sikkerhedsbriller under kørsel med maskinen.
18. Statistikker antyder, at førere på 60 år eller derover er
involveret i en stor andel af ulykker, som involverer
selvkørende maskiner. Disse førere bør kritisk
overveje deres evne til at betjene sådanne maskiner
på en sikker måde, så hverken de selv eller andre
risikerer tilskadekomst.
19. Følg fabrikantens anbefalinger for brug af hjulvægte
eller kontravægte.
20. Hold dig for øje, at føreren er ansvarlig for uheld, som
medfører personskade eller materiel skade på andres
ejendom.
21. Alle førere bør opsøge og få professionel undervisning i betjeningen af udstyret.
22. Brug altid solidt fodtøj og benklæder. Kør aldrig med
maskinen barfodet eller med sandaler.
23. Før brug skal du sikre, at knivene og alt tilhørende
isenkram er solidt på plads og i god stand. Udskift
slidte eller beskadigede dele.
24. Kobl udstyret ud før: påfyldning af brændstof, aftagning af udstyr eller udførelse af justeringer (medmindre
disse kan foretages fra førersædet).
25. Når maskinen parkeres, opbevares eller efterlades
uden opsyn, skal klipperknivene sænkes, medmindre
der anvendes en absolut, mekanisk låsemekanisme.
26. Før du forlader førersædet, uanset grunden dertil,
skal du slå parkeringsbremsen til (hvis maskinen har
en), slå knivene (PTO) fra, standse motoren og fjerne
nøglen.
27. Hold maskinen fri for græs, blade og overskydende
olie for at mindske brandfare. Undgå at standse eller
parkere over tørre blade, græs eller andet antændeligt materiale.
TRANSPORT OG OPBEVARING
1. Under transport af maskinen på en åben
påhængsvogn skal det sikres, at den vender fremad, i
kørselsretningen. Hvis den vender baglæns, kan opdrift fra vinden beskadige maskinen.
2. Påfyldning af brændstof efter transport eller opbevaring skal altid gøres i overensstemmelse med
gældende sikkerhedsanvisninger.
3. Maskinen må aldrig opbevares (med brændstof) i en
indelukket, dårligt ventileret bygning. Brændstofdampe kan drive hen til antændelseskilder (som
f.eks. varmefyr eller varmtvandsbeholdere) og kan
forårsage eksplosion. Brændstofdampe er også
giftige for både mennesker og dyr.

4. Følg altid anvisningerne i motorhåndbogen for nødvendigt forberedende arbejde, før maskinen opbevares i såvel korte som længere perioder.
5. Følg altid anvisningerne i motorhåndbogen for korrekt
startprocedure, når maskinen tages i brug igen.
6. Opbevar aldrig maskinen eller brændstoftanke inden
døre, hvor der forefindes åben flamme eller et vågeblus som i f.eks. en varmtvandsbeholder. Lad motoren køle af før opbevaring.
