When you see this symbol. HEED ITS WARNING!

DANGER! This attachment was built to be used according to the safe operation practices in this manual. Carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. Mowers are capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions as well as the instructions provided with your mower, could result in serious injury or death.

General Operation

1.Read, understand, and follow all instructions on your equipment and in their manuals before attempting to assemble and operate. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.

2.To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet from the mower while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

3.Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury.

4.Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.

5.Do not operate the mower without the discharge cover or entire grass catcher in its proper place. A missing or damaged discharge cover or grass bag attachment component may result in thrown objects or blade contact injuries.

6.Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s) can amputate hands and feet.

7.Shut off mower’s engine and wait for blades to come to a complete stop before unclogging mower’s discharge opening or bagger parts.

8.Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly.

Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed. Be aware that a grass catcher attachment can affect the handling characteristics of your mower.

9.Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait until the blade(s) come to a complete stop before opening bagger attachment’s top cover, removing grass catcher, emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing any grass or debris, or making any adjustments.

10.Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting.

11.Your machine 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. Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust and/ or build up on the mower deck presenting a potential fire hazard.

12.If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your customer service representative for assistance.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death. Attachments can also affect the stability of the machine. All slopes require extra caution.

For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to estimate the angle of slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 10 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate the mower with the grass bag attachment installed on that area or serious injury could result.

Do:

1.Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

2.Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
