Safety Rules
WARNING
When the blower assembly is removed from the mower deck, the deflector must be installed as described in Operating Without Collection System.
SAFETY RULES
1.Know the tractor controls and how to stop quickly.
READ THE TRACTOR'S OWNER'S MANUAL.
2.Shut the engine off before attaching, adjusting, or dis- connecting the Collection System.
3.Check the cart to make sure it is attached tightly to tractor.
4.Check the latch handle to make sure it is engaged so the cart's box is locked to the frame.
5.Look behind you to make sure the area is clear before backing up.
6.DO NOT turn sharply when the tractor is alongside a building or any object.
7.DO NOT carry passengers in the cart.
8.For added tractor stability and to prevent tipping or loss of control:
a.Reduce ground 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 mow across the face of any slope.
9.CAUTION: Objects may be thrown from mower.
For your safety:
a. DO NOT remove the cover while the mower blades are turning. Shut off the engine before opening cover or removing the grass chute.
b. Be sure the complete Collection System is in place (cover secure and grass chute connected) before operating the mower.
c. Do check the cart cover frequently for wear and tear. Replace with a new cover for safety protection.
10.For best results when mowing grass set the mower to cut from 1 to 2 inches of grass. If grass is exception- ally tall, set your mower as high a possible for first cutting. Lower cutting height at succeeding cuttings until proper height is reached. It may be necessary to mow tall grass at a slower ground speed.
