Children

1. 

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the 

presence of children. Children are often attracted to the 

machine and the mowing activity. They do not understand 

the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where 

you last saw them.

a.  Keep children out of the mowing area and in 

watchful care of a responsible adult other than the 

operator. 

b.  Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the 

area. 

c.  Before and while backing, look behind and down for 

small children. 

d.  Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off. 

They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere 

with safe machine operation.

e.  Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, 

doorways, shrubs, trees or other objects that may 

block your vision of a child who may run into the 

path of the machine.

f. 

To avoid back-over accidents, always disengage 

the cutting blade(s) before shifting into Reverse. If 

equipped, the “Reverse Caution Mode” should not 

be used when children or others are around.

g.  Keep children away from hot or running engines. 

They can suffer burns from a hot muffler. 

h.  Remove key when machine is unattended to  

prevent unauthorized operation.

2. 

Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this 

machine. Children 14 and over should read and understand 

the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual 

and on the machine and should be trained and supervised 

by an adult.

Towing

1. 

Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for 

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the 

hitch point.

2. 

Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight 

limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

3. 

Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

4. 

On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause 

loss of traction and loss of control.

5. 

Always use extra caution when towing with a machine 

capable of making tight turns (e.g. “zero-turn” ride-on 

mower).  Make wide turns to avoid jack-knifing.

6. 

Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

7. 

Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

Service

Safe Handling of Gasoline:

1. 

To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme 

care in handling gasoline. 

Gasoline is extremely 

flammable and the vapors are explosive.

 Serious 

personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on 

yourself or your clothes which can ignite.  Wash your skin 

and change clothes immediately.

a.  Use only an approved gasoline container.
b.  Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck 

or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place 

containers on the ground away from your vehicle 

before filling.

c.  When practical, remove gas-powered equipment 

from the truck or trailer and refuel it 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.

d.  Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel 

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is 

complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

e.  Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other 

sources of ignition.

f. 

Never fuel machine indoors.

g.  Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine 

is hot or running. Allow engine to cool at least two 

minutes before refueling.

h.  Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 

the bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel 

expansion.

i. 

Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.

j. 

If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and 

equipment. Move machine to another area. Wait 5 

minutes before starting the engine. 

k.  To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of grass, 

leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel 

spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris.

l. 

Never store the machine or fuel container inside 

where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light 

as on a water heater, space heater, furnace, clothes 

dryer or other gas appliances. 

m.  Allow a machine to cool at least five minutes before 

storing.

General Service

1. 

Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. 

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless, 

and deadly gas.

2. 

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the 

blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the 

spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent 

unintended starting.
