cause serious injury.
Mow across slopes, not up and down. 
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on 
slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden 
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then turn slowly 
uphill and use extra care while turning. Turning up a slope
greatly increases the chance of a rollover.
Avoid stopping when driving up a slope. If it is necessary 
to stop while driving up a slope, start up smoothly and
carefully to reduce the possibility of flipping the tractor
over backward.
Mowing
WARNING! To help avoid blade contact or a
thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers,
children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine

discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks,
bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging
material against a wall or obstruction which may
cause discharged material to ricochet back toward
the operator.
Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit 
or grass collector is installed.

For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be 
cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the
first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge
to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a
better appearance to the lawn.
