Safety
6
•Before operating a machine with ROPS (roll
over protection) be certain the seat belts are
attached to prevent the seat from pivoting
forward.
Slope Operation
Slopes and ramps are a major factor related to
loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can
result in severe injury or death. All slopes and ramps
require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope
or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
DO
•Mow up and down slopes greater than 5°, not
across.
•Mow downhill only on slopes above 10°, never
mow uphill. If a steep slope must be ascended,
back up the hill, and drive forward down the hill,
keeping the machine in gear.
•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the mowing area. Watch for holes, ruts or
bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•Use slow speed so that you will not have to stop
while on the slope.
•Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
•Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments. These can change the stability of
the machine.
•Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction.
•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
•When operating machine on slopes, banks or
near drop offs, always have ROPS (roll over
protection) installed.
•When operating a machine with ROPS (roll over
protection) always use seat belt.
•Be certain that the seat belt can be released
quickly if the machine is driven or rolls into
ponds or water.
•Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
driving under any objects and do not contact
them.
DO NOT
•Do not operate machine on hillsides or slopes
exceeding 15°.
•Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could suddenly turn
over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or
ditch, or if an edge caves in.
•Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction
could cause sliding.
•Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
•Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
Heavy grass bags could cause loss of control or
overturn the machine.
Service
•Never store the machine or fuel container inside
where there is an open flame, such as near a
water heater or furnace.
•Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade
attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good
condition.
•Never tamper with safety devices. Check safety
systems for proper operation before each use.
•Use only genuine replacement parts to ensure
that original standards are maintained.

Safety
7
•Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and
service as required.
•Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Protect your face, eyes and clothing when
working with a battery.
•Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes,
sparks and flames away from battery.
•Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate the skin and cause injury. Use
cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
•Never modify ROPS (roll over protection)
frames or structures because they are specifically
designed, sized, located and tested for injury
reduction. If a rollover occurs, a modified ROPS
will not provide adequate protection.

Gasoline and Oil
Recommended Gasoline
Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for
automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded
regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is
not available.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, or gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol because the fuel
system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
•Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
gasoline that spills.
•Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
•Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
•Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
•Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
•Do not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the
loss of any static charge.
•When practical, r emove gas–power ed
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
•If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
•If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.

Gasoline and Oil
16
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long–term eposure to vapors has caused
cancer to laboratory animals.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•Failure to use caution may result in serious
injury or illness
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
•Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
•Keep face away from nozzle and gas tank
or conditioner opening.
•Keep gas away from eyes and skin.
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to
provide the following benefits:
•Keeps gasoline fresh during storage of 90 days
or less. For longer storage it is recommended
that the fuel tank be drained.
•Cleans the engine while it runs
•Eliminates gum-like varnish buildup in the fuel
system, which causes hard starting
IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner
to the gas.
Note: A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh
gasoline. To minimize the chance of
varnish deposits in the fuel system, use
fuel stabilizer at all times.
Filling the Fuel T ank
1. Shut the engine off and set the parking brake.
2. Clean around each fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Add unleaded regular gasoline to both fuel
tanks, until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to
13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. This
space in the tank allows gasoline to expand. Do
not fill the fuel tanks completely full.
3. Install fuel tank caps securely. Wipe up any
gasoline that may have spilled.
Check Engine Oil Level
Before you start the engine and use the machine,
check the oil level in the engine crankcase; refer to
Checking Oil Level, page 41.
