Safety Rules and Information
• Know the tractor’s controls and how to stop quickly.
READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
• When blower assembly is removed from the mower
deck, the deflector must be properly installed.
• 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 unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while
travelling in reverse.
• DO NOT turn sharply when traveling 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 turbo blower/collector
chute plugs:
1. Disengage the electric clutch (PTO);
2. Stop the engine and remove the key;
3. Set the parking brake, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before attaching, adjusting, or disconnecting any part of the collection system.
4. Remove the foreign object or clear the chute
with a piece of wood before restarting the
engine.
Note: Never place hands into blower or mower
housing to clear jammed objects. Blower or
mower may rotate when object is removed.
• 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.
• Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).
