Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of 

control and tip-over accidents which can result 

in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra 

caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you 

feel uneasy on it, do not mow or drive on it. 
For your safety, use the slope gauge included 

as part of this manual to measure slopes before 

operating this rider on a sloped or hilly area. If 

the slope is greater than 12 degrees as shown 

on the slope gauge, do not operate this rider 

on that area or serious injury could result.

Do:

1. 

Set the parking brake when sitting on an 

incline with the power key off.

2. 

Mow up and down slopes, not across. 

Exercise extreme caution when changing 

direction on slopes.

3. 

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or 

other hidden objects. Uneven terrain 

could overturn the rider. Tall grass can 

hide obstacles.

4. 

Use slow speed. Choose a low enough 

speed setting so that you will not have 

to stop while on the slope. Tires may 

lose traction on slopes even though the 

brakes are functioning properly. This 

rider uses regenerative braking on the 

drive motor to help slow it down. 

5. 

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation 

for wheel weights or counterweights to 

improve stability.

6. 

Use extra care with grass catchers or 

other attachments. These can change 

the stability of the rider.

7. 

Keep all movement on the slopes slow 

and gradual. Do not make sudden 

changes in speed or direction. Rapid 

engagement or braking could cause 

the front of the rider to lift and rapidly 

flip over backwards which could cause 

serious injury.

8. 

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If 

tires lose traction, turn off the blade(s) and 

proceed slowly straight down the slope.

Do Not: 

1. 

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; 

then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, 

if possible.

2. 

Do not turn the power key off on an 

incline without setting the parking 

brake.

3. 

Do not mow or drive near drop-offs, 

ditches or embankments. The rider 

could suddenly turn over if a wheel is 

over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an 

edge caves in.

4. 

Do not try to stabilize the rider by 

putting your foot on the ground.

5. 

Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes. 

6. 

Do not mow or drive on wet grass. 

Reduced traction could cause sliding.

7. 

Do not press the Start/Stop button and 

coast downhill. Over-speeding may 

cause the operator to lose control of the 

rider resulting in serious injury or death.

8. 

Do not tow heavy pull behind 

attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart, 

lawn roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 

5 degrees. When going down hill, the 

extra weight tends to push the rider and 

may cause you to loose control (e.g. rider 

may speed up, braking and steering 

ability are reduced, attachment may 

jack-knife and cause rider to overturn).

Children

1. 

Tragic accidents can occur if the 

operator is not alert to the presence of 

children. Children are often attracted to 

the rider 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 rider 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 rider 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 rider.

f. 

To avoid back-over accidents, 

always turn off the cutting 

blade(s) before traveling in 

Reverse. If equipped, the 

“Reverse Caution Mode” should 

not be used when children or 

others are around.

g. 

Remove key when rider 

is unattended to prevent 

unauthorized operation.

2. 

Never allow children under 14 years of 

age to operate this rider. Children 14 and 

over should read and understand the 

instructions and safe operation practices 

in this manual and on the rider and 

should be trained and supervised by an 

adult.

Towing

1. 

Tow only with a rider 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. 

The maximum tongue weight on the 

hitch is 50 lbs. and the maximum towed 

weight is 250 lbs.

6. 

Always use extra caution when towing 

with a rider capable of making tight 

turns (e.g. “zero-turn” ride-on rider).  

Make wide turns to avoid jack-knifing.

7. 

Travel slowly and allow extra distance 

to stop.

8. 

Do not press the Start/Stop button and 

coast downhill.

Service

General Service

1. 

Remove key and store rider indoors 

when not in use. Allow motors to cool 

before storing in any enclosure. Rider 

should be stored indoors in a dry place, 

out of reach of children.

2. 

Recharge only with the charger specified 

by the manufacturer. A charger that is 

suitable for one type of battery may 

create a risk of fire when used with 

another battery.

3. 

Do not use the charger in the rain.

4. 

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, 

make certain the blade(s) and all moving 

parts have stopped. 

5. 

Never douse or hose the rider with 

water. Avoid getting any liquid in the 

motors and electrical connections. 

Clean the rider after each use. Refer 

to  cleaning and storage. Do not use 

solvents or strong detergents.

6. 

To reduce fire hazard, keep the motor(s) 

free of grass, leaves and debris build-up.

7. 

Periodically check to make sure the 

blade(s) come(s) to complete stop within 

(5) five seconds after operating the blade 

on/off button. If the blade(s) do not stop 

within the this time frame, your rider 

should be serviced professionally by an 

authorized service dealer.

8. 

Check brake operation frequently as 

it is subjected to wear during normal 

operation. Adjust and service as 

required.

9. 

Check the blade(s) and mounting 

bolts at frequent intervals for proper 

tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s) 

for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent, 

cracked).   Replace the blade(s) with 

the original equipment manufacturer’s 

(O.E.M.) blade(s) only. “Use of parts 

which do not meet the original 

equipment specifications may lead to 

improper performance and compromise 

safety!” 

10. 

Rider blade(s) are sharp. Wrap the blade 

or wear gloves, and use extra caution 

when servicing them.

11. 

Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to 

be sure the equipment is in safe working 

condition. 

12. 

Never tamper with the safety interlock 

system or other safety devices. Check 

their proper operation regularly.

13. 

After striking a foreign object, stop the 

rider, remove the key and thoroughly 

inspect the rider for any damage. Repair 

the damage before operating the rider.

14. 

Never attempt to make adjustments or 

repairs to the rider while the power key 

is ON.

15. 

Grass catcher components and the 

discharge cover are subject to wear and 

damage which could expose moving 

parts or allow objects to be thrown. 

For safety protection, frequently check 

components and replace immediately 

with original equipment manufacturer’s 

(O.E.M.) parts only. “Use of parts which 

do not meet the original equipment 

specifications may lead to improper 

performance and compromise safety!”

16. 

Maintain or replace safety and 

instruction labels, as necessary.
