SAFETY
PROTECT CHILDREN:
Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them. Children are attracted to mowing activity, stay
alert to the presence of children.
Keep children indoors when you are mowing. Turn the
machine off if a child enters the mowing area.
Use extra care when you come to blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your vision.
Do not let children or an untrained person operate the
machine.
Do not carry or let children ride on any attachment or
machine even with the blades off. Do not tow children in a
cart or trailer.
Avoid Tipping
MIF
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death.
Do not drive where machine could slip or tip.
Stay alert for holes and other hidden hazards in the
terrain.
Keep away from drop-offs, ditches, and embankments.
Slow down before you make a sharp turn or operate on
a slope.
Transport machine with decks lowered to improve
stability.
Drive machine very slowly and avoid quick stops when
attachment is removed.
Drive across a hill, not up and down. Be careful when
you change direction on a slope. If necessary, turn slowly
and in the downhill direction.
Mowing when grass is wet can cause reduced traction
and sliding.
Keep Riders Off
MIF
Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.
Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by
foreign objects or thrown off the machine causing serious
injury.
Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the
machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
Checking Wheel Bolts
A serious accident could occur causing serious injury if
wheel bolts are not tight.
Check wheel bolt tightness often during the first 100
hours of operation.
Wheel hardware must be tightened to specified torque
using the proper procedure anytime it is loosened.
