Don't operate the tiller in high gear. Don't use high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. When using a transport sulky, look
behind and use care when backing.
ROTARY MOWER PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Do not deactivate the PTO Reverse Lockout on any of the
convertible models. The new design lock-outs on thee mo-
dels automatically disengage during a conversion for front-
mount attachments.
Clear the area to be mowed of all objects (wires, rocks, toys,
etc.) which might be picked up and thrown by the mower.
Disengage the PTO and put the transmission into neutral (gear
selector position "
N
") before cranking to start the engine and also
whenever leaving the operator zone behind the handlebar or dis-
mounting from a sulky. Stay alert for holes, rocks, roots in the ter-
rain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs. Use
wheel extensions for added stability of a walk-behind mower.
When walking behind, be especially cautions when changing di-
rection on slopes.
When operating from a riding sulky, reduce speed and use extre-
me caution on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping and
loss of control.
MOW SLOPES AS FOLLOWS:
1.
When riding, mow up and down, never across the slopes.
2.
When walking behind, mow across the slopes, never up and
down.
3.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
Be careful not to discharge grass in direction of roadways, hou-
ses, vehicles and people. Inspect grass bags frequently for wear
and deterioration. Replace grass bags which are not in good con-
dition.
When the
2-blade mower
is used without the grass bag, the
grass deflector
must
be in the down position covering one dis-
charge chute, and the door on the other chute
must
be closed to
prevent open discharge from the chutes.
When mounting the grass bag on the deck to collect the cuttings,
open the door and raise the deflector for discharge from the vo-
lutes into the bag.
Before removing the grass bag for emptying, disengage the PTO,
shut off the engine and wait until the mower blades have stop-
ped.
Never put hands in any openings of the mower or grass bag
when the engine is running. If necessary to clear out the dis-
charge chute with your hands, always first disconnect the spark
plug wire.
Keep the mower blades in good condition. Inspect, sharpen and
maintain blades as recommended for mower attachments in Sec-
tion 3. Replace bent, badly worn blades, because pieces brea-
king off can become projectiles. After sharpening, blades should
be balanced.
DO NOT MOW WITH
GRASS DEFLECTORS OPEN
