Avoid Tipping
• DONOTdrivewheremachinecouldsliportip.
• Stay alert for holes and other hidden hazards in the
terrain.
• Keep away from drop-offs.
• Slow down before you make a sharp turn or operate
on a slope.
• When pulling loads or using heavy equipment, use
only approved hitches, limit loads to those you can
safely control, and use counterweights or wheel weights
when required per this manual or your attachment
manual.
• Drive up and down a hill—not across. Be careful
when you change direction on a slope.
• DO NOT stop when going up hill or down hill. If
machine stops going up hill, DISENGAGE mower
blades and back down slowly.
• DO NOT mow wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
• DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by putting your
foot on the ground.

off.
• Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck
by foreign objects or thrown off the machine causing
serious injury.

machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
