• Replace the blade if it is damaged in any way. Repair any damage before restarting and
continuing to operate the mower.
• 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 extra caution. If you cannot back up
the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it. Never use on steep slopes greater 15°.
• Never attempt to ride on a steep slope or mow a slope that is greater than 15°. To determine
the angle of your slope, use the Slope Guide at the back of this manual.
• Mow up and down slopes, not across.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Use a slow speed so you will not have to stop suddenly or accidentally accelerate while on a
slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction and you may lose control.
• Always keep the direction control switch in the forward position when going down slopes. Do
not shift to neutral and coast downhill, which may cause you to lose control of the mower.
• 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 slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating machine with baggers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes greater than 15°.
• 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 goes over the edge or if the edge caves in and result in death or serious personal
injury.
• Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge
of material toward bystanders, roads, sidewalks, windows, cars, and the like. Also, avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction, which may cause the material to ricochet
back toward the operator.
• Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces to avoid discharging gravel and rocks and drive
the mower slowly and carefully to avoid loss of control.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block
your view.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the motor running and/or blades moving. Turn off
power switch and remove key.
• Stop the motor, set the parking pedal, wait until the blades come to a complete stop, and
remove start key before unclogging the side discharge chute or opening. The cutting blades
continue to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never place any part of the
body in the blade area until you are sure the blades have stopped rotating.
• If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for
the cause. Replace the blades if they are unevenly worn or damaged in any way. Vibration is
generally a sign of a damaged mower blade.
• Disengage mower blades when not mowing.
• Service on the product and charger must be performed by qualified repair personnel only.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user or
damage to the product.
• Use only authorized replacement parts when servicing the product. Use identical replacement
