Not for
Reproduction
not have adequate wheel traction (and control) can cause
sliding, loss of steering, control, and possible rollover.
You should not operate on a slope greater than a 6.1 foot rise
over a 20 foot length (17 degrees).
Always mow across slopes, not up and down (to maintain
traction on the wheels) and avoid sudden turns or rapid speed
changes. Reduce speed and use extreme caution on ALL
slopes.
Also, note that the surface condition you are on can greatly
impact your ability to safely operate this machine. Operating on
wet or slippery slopes can cause sliding and loss of steering
and control. Do not operate on slopes that are slippery, wet, or
have soft soil conditions.
If you feel unsure about operating the unit on a slope, don't do
it. It's not worth the risk.
Thrown Objects
This unit has spinning mower blades. These blades can pick
up and throw debris that could seriously injure a bystander. Be
sure to clean up the area to be mowed and remove objects that
could be thrown by the blade BEFORE you start mowing.
Do not operate this unit without the entire grass catcher or
discharge guard (deflector) in place.
Also, do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running!
If someone does enter the area, shut the unit off immediately
until they leave.
Moving Parts
This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or
someone else. However, if you stay in the operator zone (stay
seated in the seat), and follow the safety rules in this operator’s
manual, the unit is safe to operate.
The mower deck has spinning mower blades that can amputate
hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the unit while it is
running! Keep safety devices (guards, shields, and switches)
in place and working.
To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is
equipped with an operator-present safety system. Do NOT
attempt to alter or bypass the system. See your dealer
immediately if the system does not pass all the safety interlock
system tests found in this manual.
Retaining Walls, Drop-Offs and Water
Retaining walls and drop-offs around steps and water are a
common hazard. Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths
of clearance around these hazards and hand-trim with a walk
behind mower or string trimmer. Wheels dropping over retaining
walls, edges, ditches, embankments, or into water can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death, or drowning.
Fuel and Maintenance
Always disengage all drives, shutoff the engine, and remove
the key before doing any cleaning, refueling, or servicing.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Do not smoke
while operating or refueling. Do not add fuel while engine is hot
or running. Allow engine to cool for at least 3 minutes prior to
adding fuel.
Do not add fuel indoors, in an enclosed trailer, garage, or any
other enclosed area that is not well ventilated. Gasoline spills
should be cleaned up promptly and before operation begins.
Gasoline should be stored only in sealed containers approved
for fuel.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of
your unit. Keep the unit free of grass, leaves, and excess oil.
Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this
manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.
