• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop
machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers or children even with the blades
off.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al ways
look down and behind before and while backing.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured
or interfere with safe machine operation.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful
care of another responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
• Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
• If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift
into reverse and back down slowly.
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.

ci den tal starting when setting up,
trans port ing, ad just ing or making
repairs, al ways dis con nect spark
plug wire and place wire where it
can not contact spark plug.
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill
in neutral, you may lose control of
the tractor.
WARNING: Tow only the attach-
ments that are rec om mend ed by
and comply with spec i ca tions of
the man u fac tur er of your tractor.
Use common sense when towing.
Operate only at the low est possible
speed when on a slope. Too heavy
of a load, while on a slope, is dan-
ger ous. Tires can lose trac tion with
the ground and cause you to lose
control of your tractor.
