FE-Series Mow’n Machine (12/23/2005)
Never fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place container on the ground away from the vehi-
cle before filling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck
or trailer and refuel on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer
with a portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank opening at all times until fueling is com-
plete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
Never over-fill tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
Handle fuel carefully; it is highly flammable.
Always use an approved container. Never remove
fuel cap or add fuel while engine is running. Allow
engine to cool before refueling. Wipe up all spilled
fuel before starting engine.
TRANSPORTATION
Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine onto a trailer or truck.
Transport power unit facing rearward when
equipped with a sunshade.
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not operate or transport equipment while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Do not operate PTO during transport.
OPERATION
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under
the watchful care of a responsible adult other than
the operator.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters
the mowing area.
Before and while backing, look behind and
down for children.
Never direct discharge toward people, animals,
or property.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
Because a ROPS is not offered with this unit, a
seat belt must not be used.
Use extreme care when approaching blind cor-
ners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block
your vision.
Use care when operating with ROPS or sun-
shade around shrubs, trees or other objects that
can become entangled with power unit.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Start engine from operator's seat after disen-
gaging power unit PTO and placing steering levers
in neutral.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely neces-
sary.
Slow down before turning.
Do not operate on slopes greater than 15
degrees (27% grade).
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
If the tires lose traction on a slope, disengage
the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-
denly on slopes.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direc-
tion which could cause the machine to roll over.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Installation of a grasscatcher assembly will
reduce the stability and maneuverability of the
Mow'n Machine when operating on sloping terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
Watch for traffic when operating near or cross-
ing roadways.
Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
