vehicle components contain or emit chemicals

known to the State of California to cause cancer

and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories

contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the

machine and in the manual before starting.

• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under

the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at

all times.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with

the instructions, to operate the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.,

which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

• Ensure the area is clear of bystanders before

operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while

backing.

• Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid

discharging material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop

the blades when crossing gravel surfaces.

• Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher,

discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and

working.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always

turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and

remove keys before dismounting.

• Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine

and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before

cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or

unclogging the discharge chute.

• Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial

light.

• Do not operate the machine 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 machine

into a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection when operating

machine.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above,

are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-

related injuries. These operators should evaluate their

ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from serious injury.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel

weights or counterweights.

• Keep machine free of grass , leaves or other debris

build-up which can touch hot exhaust / engine parts

and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debris which can cause build-up to occur.

Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing

the machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and

tip-over 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 mow it.

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden

objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have

to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

Always keep the machine in gear when going down

slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the

tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed

slowly straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the 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 the

stability of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot

on the ground.

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

The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over

the edge or if the edge caves in.
