OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

The safe and successful operation of the 5000 Series will depend upon the operator having the correct knowledge of all controls used on the mower and making good judgements about the terrain to be mowed.

NEVER allow anyone to operate the mower without complete knowledge of all the controls and their functions.

During initial operation, “learning to drive”, set throttle at slow speed.

TOWING:

Towing a trailer or other attachment that is too heavy could damage the drive or cause the mower to become unstable. Limit loads to 500 pounds or less with this mower.
