GENERAL OPERATION
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the
manual and on the unit before starting.
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with
the instructions, to operate the unit.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,
etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the
blade(s).
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop unit if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while travelling in reverse.
• 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 deflector
in place.
• Slow down before turning.
• Never leave a running unit unattended. Always
disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine,
and remove keys before dismounting.
• Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the 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 unit 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 unit
into a trailer or truck.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and
tip-over 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
• See your authorized dealer for recommendations of
wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.
• 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 unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will
not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the unit.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Do Not
•
Do not
start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight
down the slope.
•
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 unit by putting your foot on
the ground.
•
Do not
use grass catcher on steep slopes.

Safety Rules
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 mow-
ing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. The triangle in text signi-
fies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.
WARNING - SLOPE OPERATION
Never operate on slopes greater than 30 percent
(16.7°) which is a rise of three feet vertically in 10 feet
horizontally. When operating on slopes that are
greater than 15 percent (8.5°) but less than 30 percent
use front counterweights and rear wheel weights (see
your dealer). Select slow ground speed before driving
onto slope. In addition to front and rear weights, use
extra caution when operating on slopes with rearmounted grass catcher. Mow UP and DOWN the slope,
never across the face, use caution when changing
directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.
4
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.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
• Before and during reverse operation, look behind and
down for small children.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe unit operation.
• Never allow children to operate the unit.
•
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
• Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the tractor after transportation or
storage.
• Always follow the engine manual instructions for
storage preparations before storing the tractor for
both short and long term periods.
• Always follow the engine manual instructions for
proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to
service.
• 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.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels.
They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
a) Use only an approved container.
Safety Rules
b) Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do
not smoke.
c) Never refuel the unit indoors.
• Never run a unit in an enclosed 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 unit free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an
object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine
running unless specified otherwise in the engine
manufacturer’s manual.
• 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.
• Use only factory authorized replacement parts when
making repairs.
• Always comply with factory specifications on all
settings and adjustments.
• Only authorized service locations should be utilized
for major service and repair requirements.
• Never attempt to make major repairs on this unit
unless you have been properly trained. Improper service procedures can result in hazardous operation,
equipment damage and voiding of manufacturer’s
warranty.
WARNING
Never place hands near the hydro pump cooling
fan when the tractor is running. Cooling fan is
located on top of transaxle on hydro models.
