Safety
1.
Read the operator’s manual carefully and familiarize yourself with the proper use of your attachment. Do not allow
anyone who is not acquainted with the Safety Instructions to use your attachment.
2.
Know the controls and how to stop quickly. READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL!
3.
Do not allow children to operate the vehicle. Do not allow adults to operate it without proper instruction.
4.
Be especially watchful of children and pets darting into the area while operating.
5.
Keep your eyes and mind on your unit while mowing or operating your attachment. Don’t let others distract you.
6.
Do not attempt to operate your unit or mower when not in the driver’s seat.
7.
Always stop unit when emptying the container.
8.
Stop unit, shut off deck and attachment, set parking brake, shut off mower engine and remove spark plug wire
before removing clogs or removing or replacing hose, boot, blower cone, or performing any maintenance.
9.
Mow across the face of slopes (not steeper than 10 degrees); never up and down the face of the slope.
10.
It is recommended that the container be kept only half full when negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on slopes
when the container is empty.
11.
Inspect your lawn and remove any foreign objects before mowing. Never deliberately run the mower across any
foreign object.
12.
Wear ear protection if the noise level is offensive.
13.
Wear eye protection to prevent debris from damaging your eyes.
14.
Be alert for all other traffic when driving on public roads or highways.

Moisture content in most grasses can damage mower and grass collector components. Also, dry grass and leaves
left in the bags can be a fire hazard. Always make sure the bags are completely empty and the blower and hoses are
fully cleaned before storage.
