II. Slope Operation, Do not, III. Children

13.Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

14.Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

15.Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

16.Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck. This unit should not be driven up or down a ramp onto a trailer or truck under power, because the unit could tip over causing serious personal injury. The unit must be pushed manually on a ramp to load or unload properly.

17.Never make a cutting height adjustment while the engine is running if the operator must dismount to do so.

18.Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close- fitting slacks and shirts. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Never operate a unit in bare feet, sandals or sneakers.

19.Check overhead clearance carefully before driving under power lines, wires, bridges or low hanging tree branches, before entering or leaving buildings, or in any other situation where the operator may be struck or pulled from the unit, which could result in serious injury.

20.Disengage all attachment clutches, set the parking brake in the on position, and put the lap bars to the neutral or out position before attempting to start the engine.

21.Your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more than 10”. Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g. pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may build up on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust presenting a potential fire hazard.

22.Use only accessories approved for this machine by Cub Cadet. Read, understand and follow all instructions provided with the approved accessory.

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. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15° as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unit on that area or serious injury could result.

DO:

Mow across slopes, not up and down.

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid acceleration or deceleration could cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over back- wards, which could cause serious injury.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tires are unable to maintain traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly and carefully straight down the slope. Do not mow the slope until able to maintain traction.

Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed so that you will not have to stop while on the slope.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for coun- terweights with attachments to improve stability.

Use extra care with grass catchers or other attach- ments. These can change the stability of the machine.

DO NOT:

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then turn slowly and use extra care while turning.

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 machine by putting your foot on the ground.

Do not use the grass catcher on steep slopes.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

1.Keep children out of the mowing area and in watchful care of an adult other than the operator.

2.Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the area.

3.Before and when backing up, look behind and down for small children.

4.Never carry children, even with the blades off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or may interfere with safe machine operation.
