Do not use the
machine when
barefoot.
Always wear protective
shoes or boots, preferably with steel toe caps.
Always wear approved protective glasses or a full
visor when assembling or driving.
Always wear gloves when handling the blades.
Do not wear loose clothing that can get caught in
moving parts.
Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. Operation on slopes requires
much more caution. If you cannot back up the
slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
• Mow up and down
slopes (10 degrees
maximum), not
across.
• Watch for holes,
ruts, bumps, rocks,
or other hidden
objects. Uneven
terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not
have to stop while on the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose
traction.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If
the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
• Keep movement
on the slopes slow
and gradual. Do
not make sudden
changes in speed
or direction, which
could cause
machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating machine with
grass catchers or other attachments; the
VWDELOLW\RIWKHPDFKLQHFDQEHHႇHFWHG
• Do not use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a
foot on the ground.
WARNING! When using the machine,
approved personal protective equipment must
be used. Personal protective equipment cannot
eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the
degree of injury if an accident does happen.
Ask your retailer for help in choosing the right
equipment.
• Wear proper Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) while operating this machine, including
(at a minimum) sturdy footwear, eye protection,
and hearing protection. Do not mow in shorts
and/or footwear with open toes.
• Data indicates that operators age 60 years and
above are involved in a large percentage of
riding mower-related injuries. These operators
must evaluate if they can safely operate the
ULGLQJPRZHUVXႈFLHQWO\WRSURWHFWWKHPVHOYHV
and others from serious injury.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for
wheel weights or counterweights.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other
debris buildup which can touch hot exhaust or
engine parts and burn. Do not let the mower
deck plow leaves or other debris that can cause
a buildup to occur. Clean oil or fuel spillage
before operating or storing the machine.
• Let machine cool before storage.

SAFETY • If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
• Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
• Do not use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
• If leaks arise in fuel system, the engine must
not be started until problem has been resolved.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave
space for the fuel to expand, as the heat from
the engine and the sun may otherwise cause

General Maintenance
• Do not use the
machine indoors or
in spaces lacking
proper ventilation.

fumes contain
carbon monoxide,
an odorless and
poisonous lethal gas.
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust
system become very hot during operation.
There is a risk for burns if touched. Let engine
and exhaust system to cool before refueling.
• Make sure that the equipment is in good
condition and that all nuts and bolts, especially
those fastening the blade attachments, are
properly tightened and torqued.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels
as necessary.
• Do not interfere with the intended function of a
safety device or reduce the protection provided
by a safety device. Check their proper operation

WARNING! Do not drive up or down hills
with slopes greater than 10 degrees. Do not
drive across slopes.
Safe Handling of Gasoline

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and
other sources of ignition.
• Use only approved gasoline containers.
• Do not remove gas cap or add fuel with
the engine running. Let engine cool before
refueling.
• Do not fuel the
machine indoors.
• Do not keep the
machine or fuel
container where
there is an open

• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck
or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, refuel such equipment with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
CAUTION! Use protective glasses
for maintenance work.
• Do not change the settings of governors and
avoid running the engine with overly high
engine speeds. If you run the engine too fast,
machine components could be damaged.
