Dust, smoke, fog, etc. can reduce vision and cause an

accident. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Avoid slippery surfaces. Always be sure of your footing.

DO NOT mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could

cause sliding and effect the machine’s stability.

Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

Never carry passengers.

DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot

on the ground.

Never direct discharge towards persons or property that

may be injured or damaged by thrown objects. Use

extreme caution on gravel surfaces.

Always stand clear of the discharge area.

ALWAYS disengage PTO, stop unit and engine, remove

key, engage parking brake and allow moving parts to

stop before leaving operator’s position.

Never engage PTO while raising attachment or when

attachment is in raised position.

DO NOT operate at too fast a rate. DO NOT change

engine governor settings or over-speed engine. Slow

down before turning.

DO NOT operate in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

ALWAYS look down and behind before and while

backing.

Stop and inspect equipment if you strike an object or if

there is an unusual vibration. Repair, if necessary, before

restarting. Never make adjustments or repairs with the

engine running.

Mower blades are sharp and can cut you. Wrap the

blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when

servicing them. NEVER weld or straighten mower blades.

Rotation of one blade may cause rotation of the other

blades.

Take all possible precautions when leaving unit

unattended. Shut off engine. Remove wire from spark

plug and secure it away from spark plug.

ALWAYS remove key to prevent unauthorized use.

Know the weight of loads. Limit loads to those you can

safely control and the unit can safely handle.

Disengage PTO when attachment is not in use. ALWAYS

turn off power to attachment when travelling, crossing

driveways, etc.

Mow up and down slopes, not across them.

Keep all movements on the slope slow and gradual. Do

not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid starting or stopping on the slope. If tires lose

traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly

straight down the slope.

If you cannot back up a slope or you feel uneasy on it, do

not mow it.

DO NOT park on slopes unless necessary. When parking

on slope always chock or block wheels. Always set

parking brake.

Use a slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes

even though the brakes are functioning properly.

Do not bypass transmission when on a slope.

Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the

hitch point.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight

limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

NEVER allow children or others in or on towed

equipment.

On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause

loss of control.

Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

Use extra care when loading or unloading unit onto trailer

or truck.

Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. NEVER secure

from rods or linkages that could be damaged.

DO NOT transport machine while engine is running.

ALWAYS turn off power to attachment and shut off fuel

when transporting unit.

Keep unit free of debris. Clean up oil or fuel spills.

This product is equipped with an internal combustion

type engine. DO NOT use unit on or near any

unimproved, forest-covered or brush covered land unless

exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester

meeting applicable local, state or federal laws. A spark

arrester, if it is used, must be maintained in effective

working order by operator.

Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.

Handle with care. Use an approved fuel container.

NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames. ALWAYS allow

engine to cool before servicing.

NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot from

operation.

NEVER fill or drain fuel tank indoors.

Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled fuel.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or

trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on

the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from

the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not

possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a

portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser

nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

Avoid Electric Shock. Objects contacting both battery

terminals at the same time may result in injury and unit

damage. DO NOT reverse battery connections.
