Failure to observe the following instructions

could result in serious injury or death.

GENERAL OPERATION (continued)

Turn off blades when not mowing. Injury could occur from contact with moving parts.

Under no circumstances should you place hands or feet under the mower deck or in the chute while blades or impeller are still running.

To avoid personal injury from accidental clutch engagement, stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute.

Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

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

Slow down before turning to reduce the risk of tip-over.

Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

Use extra care when loading or unloading the mower into a trailer or truck. Push, do not ride the mower when loading and unloading.

Protect your eyes. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating mower.

Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

To protect against possible tip-over, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for wheel weights and counterweights.

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as needed.
