• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make

sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the

machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating machine with grass catchers or

other attachments, they can affect stability of the machine. Do

not use on steep slopes.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, or bodies

of water. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes

over the edge or the edge caves in.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights

or counterweights for added stability when operating on slopes

or using front or rear mounted attachments. Remove weights

when not required.

• Drive machine very slowly and avoid quick stops when

attachment is removed.

• Transport machine with decks lowered to improve stability.

Keep Riders Off

• Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.

• Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by foreign

objects or thrown off the machine causing serious injury.

• Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the machine

being operated in an unsafe manner.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

• Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical damage,

kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses and lines regularly.

Replace damaged hoses and lines.

• Hydraulic fluid connections can loosen due to physical

damage and vibration. Check connections regularly. Tighten

loose connections.

• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing

serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before

disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections

before applying pressure.

• Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and

body from high pressure fluids.

• If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid

injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few

hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type

of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.

Checking Wheel Hardware

• A serious accident could occur causing serious injury if wheel

hardware is not tight.

• Check wheel hardware tightness often during the first 100

hours of operation.

• Wheel hardware must be tightened to specified torque using

the proper procedure anytime it is loosened.

Wear Appropriate Clothing

• Always wear safety goggles, or safety glasses with side

shields, and a hard hat when operating the machine.

• Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate

for the job.

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long

trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or

wearing open sandals.

• Wear a suitable protective device such as earplugs. Loud

noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.

Maintenance and Storage

• Never operate machine in a closed area where dangerous

carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

• Disengage drives, lower implement, lock parking brake, stop

engine and remove key or disconnect spark plug (for gas

engines). Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting,

cleaning or repairing.

• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives, mufflers, and

engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.

• Let engine cool before storing and do not store near flame.

• Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store fuel

near flames or drain indoors.

• Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained

personnel to service machine. Understand service procedure

before doing work.

• Use jack stands or lock service latches to support components

when required. Securely support any machine elements that

must be raised for service work.

• Before servicing machine or attachment, carefully release

pressure from any components with stored energy, such as

hydraulic components or springs.

• Release hydraulic pressure by lowering attachment or cutting

units to the ground or to a mechanical stop and move hydraulic

control levers back and forth.

• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug (for gas engines)

before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal

first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative

last.

• Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blades or wear

gloves, and use caution when servicing them. Only replace

blades. Never straighten or weld them.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and long hair away from

moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the

engine running.

• Charge batteries in an open well-ventilated area, away from

spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting or

disconnecting from battery.

• Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.

• Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware

tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals.

• Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard

frequently and replace with manufacturer’s recommended

parts, when necessary. Grass catcher components are subject

to wear, damage, and deterioration which could expose

moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts,

to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as

required.

• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can

cause other blades to rotate.
