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

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.

WARNING

Do not load this zero-turn rider on a trailer or truck using two separate ramps. Only use a single ramp that is at least one foot wider than the width of the rear wheels of this rider. This rider has a zero turning radius and the rear wheels could fall off the ramps, or the rider could tip over injuring the operator or bystanders.

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent (10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in 20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.

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 SLOPE.

Checks Before Starting

•Check that crankcase is filled to full mark on dipstick. See the engine Operator’s Manual for instructions and oil recommendations.

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