III. SLOPE OPERATION

WARNING! When loading or unloading 

this machine, do not exceed the maximum 

recommended operation angle of 15°.

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over 

accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.  Operation 

on all slopes requires extreme caution.  If you cannot back up 

the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
• 

Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• 

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden ob-

jects.  Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.  Tall 

grass can hide obstacles.

• 

Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to 

stop or shift while on the slope.

• 

Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction. Always 

keep the machine in gear when going down slopes.

• 

Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

• 

Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope.  If the tires 

lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly 

straight down the slope.

• 

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.  Do 

not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which 

could cause the machine to roll over.

• 

Use extreme caution while operating machine with grass 

catchers or other at tach ments; they can affect the stability 

of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

• 

Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on 

the ground.

•  Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.  

The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over 

the edge or if the edge caves in.

•  If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, 

shift into reverse and back down slowly.

• 

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn 

slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IV. TOWING

•  Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for 

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch 

point.

•  Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight 

limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

• 

Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

• 

On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause 

loss of traction and loss of control.

• 

Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop. 

V. SERVICE

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme 

care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable 

and the vapors are explosive.
• 

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources 

of ignition.

• 

Use only approved gasoline container.

• 

Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.

• 

Allow engine to cool before refueling.

• 

Never fuel the machine indoors.

•  Never store the machine or fuel container where there 

is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water 

heater or other appliances.

•  Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or 

trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers on 

the ground away from your vehicle when filling.

• 

Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer 

and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then 

refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather 

than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

• 

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.

• 

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

•  Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten 

securely.

GENERAL SERVICE

• 

Never operate machine in a closed area.

• 

Keep all nuts and bolts tight to ensure the equipment is 

in safe working condition.

•  Never tamper with safety devices. Never interfere with 

the intended function of a safety device or reduce the 

protection provided by a safety device. Check there proper 

operation regularly. NEVER operate a machine with a 

safety device that does not function properly.

• 

Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-

up.  Clean oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-soaked 

debris.  Allow machine to cool before storing.

• 

If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine. 

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• 

Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine 

run ning.

• 

Check grass catcher components and the discharge chute  

frequently and replace with manufacturer's recommended 

parts, when necessary.

• 

Mower blades are sharp.  Wrap the blade or wear gloves, 

and use extreme caution when servicing them.

• 

Check brake operation frequently.  Adjust and service as 

required.

• 

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as nec-

essary.

 Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.

  Always wear eye protection when operating machine.
