Safety

WARNING

There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down. Wheels dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks, or water can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.

Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position and use seat belt.

Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary.

Do Not wear seat belt when the roll bar is down.

Drive slowly and carefully.

Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.

Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches, doorways, and electrical wires) before driving under any objects and Do Not contact them.

In the event of a rollover, take the unit to an Authorized Service Dealer to have the ROPS inspected.

Children

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult, not the operator.

Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter the area.

Before and while backing or changing direction, look behind, down, and side-to-side for small children.

Never carry children, even with the blades off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the mower.

Never allow children to operate the machine.

Towing

Use for towing only if equipped with an Exmark hitch kit. Do Not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

Follow Exmark’s recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes. This information can be found in the hitch kit instruction sheet and on the decal.

Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

Maintenance and Storage

Disengage drives, lower implement, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key or disconnect spark plug wire. Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing.

Keep engine and engine area free from accumulation of grass, leaves, excessive grease or oil, and other debris which can accumulate in these areas. These materials can become combustible and may result in a fire.

Let engine cool before storing and Do Not store near flame or any enclosed area where open pilot lights or heat appliances are present.

Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do Not store fuel near flames or drain indoors.

Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained personnel to service machine.

Use jack stands to support components when required.

Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy.

Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative last.

Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use caution when servicing them. Only replace damaged blades. Never straighten or weld them.

Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, Do Not make adjustments with the engine running.
