Safety

DANGER

Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control. Wheels dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks, or water can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.

Do Not mow slopes when grass is wet.

Do Not mow near drop-offs or near water.

Do Not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.

Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.

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

See inside the back cover to determine the approximate slope angle of the area to be mowed.

Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water. (Figure 3).

Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips and rises that change the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine.

Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because the mower may tip backwards.

Be aware that operating on wet grass, across steep slopes or down hill may cause the mower to lose traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may result in sliding and loss of braking and steering.

Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counter weights to improve stability.

Use extreme care with grass catchers or attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause loss of control.

Using the Rollover Protection System (ROPS)

A Rollover Protection System (roll bar) is installed on the unit.

Figure 3

1.Safe Zone-Use the mower here on slopes less than 15 degrees

2.Danger Zone-Use a walk behind mower and/or hand trimmer on slopes greater than 15 degrees, near drop-offs and water.

3.Water

Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

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
