SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not operate the mower on steep slopes.
Riding lawn mowers can tip over when used on an
excessive slope. To check a slope, attempt to
back up with the cutter deck down. If the wheels
slip when backing up a slope, stay off the slope.
If you are in doubt about hillside operation, stay
off the slope.
Always back up when loading a machine on ramps
or tilt bed trailers.

Your mower was built to the highest standards in the industry. However, your mower is only as
safe as you, the operator, make it. Carelessness or error on the part of the operator may result in
serious bodily injury. Hazard control and accident prevention depend upon the awareness, con-
cern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, and
storage of this equipment. Make sure every operator is properly trained and thoroughly familiar
with all of the controls and safety instructions before operating the equipment.
