OPERATING THE MOWER
MOWING PRECAUTIONS Before operating the riding mower for the first time, please
review the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
beginning on page 6 and the previous section, titled
BEFORE MOWING.
Even if you have operated other riding mowers, take time to
become familiar with how this riding mower works, and
practice in a safe area until you build up your skills.
Never tamper with, or alter any of the controls or safety
devices on the riding mower.
For your safety, avoid operating the engine in an enclosed
area such as a garage. Your riding mower’s exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect
rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness or death.

highly maneuverable. You need a complete understanding
of its operation and a certain amount of practice with its
controls to safely realize the full potential of this riding
mower.
Read this section completely before operating the riding
mower. Take time to familiarize yourself with the controls
and how they operate.
The small amount of time spent in familiarization will reward
you with greater efficiency and reduced risk.
