SAFETY

Only operate in good light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards.

Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking brake is engaged before starting engine. Only start engine from the operator’s position. Use seat belts if provided.

Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Be sure to travel in the recommended direction on hillsides. For this machine, drive across hillsides, not up and down. Turf conditions can affect the machine’s stability. Use caution while operating near drop-offs.

Slow down and use caution when making turns and when changing directions on slopes.

Never raise deck with the blades running.

Never operate with the PTO shield, or other guards, not securely in place. Be sure all interlocks are attached, adjusted properly, and functioning properly.

Never operate with the discharge deflector raised, removed or altered, unless using a grasscatcher. Do not operate mower without discharge chute or entire grasscatcher in place.

Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal injury.

Stop on level ground, lower implements, disengage drives, engage parking brake, and shut off engine before leaving the operator’s position for any reason including emptying the grasscatchers or unclogging the chute.

Stop equipment and inspect blades after striking objects or if an abnormal vibration occurs. Make necessary repairs before resuming operations.

Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.

Look behind and down before backing up to be sure of a clear path.

Never carry passengers and keep pets and bystanders away.

Slow down and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop blades if not mowing. Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point it at anyone.

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

Use care when loading or unloading the machine into or off of a trailer or truck.

Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Inspect machine before you operate. Be sure hardware is tight. Repair or replace damaged, badly worn, or missing parts. Be sure guards and shields are in good condition and fastened in place. Make any necessary adjustments before you operate.

Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and the mower assembly are not worn and damaged. Replace worn and damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

Keep safety labels visible when installing accessories and attachments.

Do not wear radio or music headphones. Safe service and operation require your full attention.

When machine is left unattended, stored, or parked, lower the mower deck unless a positive mechanical lock is used.

Using a Spark Arrestor

The engine in this machine is not equipped with a spark arrestor muffler. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate this engine on or near any forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrestor meeting any applicable local or state laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

A spark arrestor for your machine may be available from your authorized dealer. An installed spark arrestor must be maintained in good working order by the operator.

Checking Mowing Area

Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the job.

Clear mowing area of objects that might be thrown. Keep people and pets out of mowing area.

Study mowing area. Set up a safe mowing pattern. Do not mow where traction or stability is doubtful.

Test drive area with mower lowered but not running. Slow down when you travel over rough ground.

Parking Safely

1.Stop machine on a level surface, not on a slope.

2.Disengage mower blades.

3.Lock the park brake.

4.Stop the engine.

5.Remove the key.

6.Wait for engine and all moving parts to stop before you leave the operator’s station.

7.Close fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.

8.Disconnect the negative battery cable or remove the spark plug wire (for gasoline engines) before servicing the machine.

Rotating Blades are Dangerous

HELP PREVENT SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENTS:

Rotating blades can cut off arms and legs, and throw objects. Failure to observe safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

Keep hands, feet and clothing away from mower deck when engine is running.

Be alert at all times, drive forward carefully. People, especially children can move quickly into the mowing area before you know it.
