Safety

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.

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 downhill may cause the mower to lose traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may result in sliding and a 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. Always install and remove the Ultra Vac, including counter weights, as instructed. Failure to do so will cause a reduction in stability or traction. Do Not operate the mower with only a portion of the Ultra Vac installed.

Use extreme care with grass catchers or attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause loss of control. The stability and traction of the machine will change as the Ultra Vac hopper fills with grass clippings. Use

progressively greater care on slopes as the hopper fills.

Maintenance and Storage

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

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 all guards, shields and all safety devices in place and in safe working condition.

Check all bolts frequently to maintain proper tightness.

Frequently check for worn or deteriorating components that could create a hazard.

All replacement parts must be the same as or equivalent to the parts supplied as original equipment.
