General Operating Safety

Before first time operation:

•Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation sections before attempting to operate this tractor and mower.

•Become familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the unit.

•Drive in an open area without mowing to become accustomed to the unit.

WARNING

Operating on steep slopes can be dangerous.

•Never operate on slopes greater than 15°.

•Select slow ground speed before driving onto a slope. Use extra caution when operating on slopes with a rear- mounted grass catcher.

•Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down, use caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON A SLOPE.

WARNING

•Never allow passengers to ride on the unit.

•Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and remove the key.

•To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, tractor and mower free of grass, leaves and excess grease. Do NOT stop or park tractor over dry leaves, grass or combustible materials.

•Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is still hot from recent operation. Do NOT allow open flame, smoking or matches in the area. Avoid over-filling and wipe up any spills.

Checks Before Starting

•Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws and pins are in place and tight.

•Adjust the seat position (C), and make certain you can reach all the controls from operator’s position.

•Fill the fuel tank (A) with fresh fuel. Refer to the engine manual for fuel recommendations.
