GENERAL OPERATION (continued):

Never leave a running mower unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting.

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 engage- ment, 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 road- ways.

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