I. GENERAL OPERATION 

•     Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the 

machine and in the manual before starting.

•      Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under 

the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at 
all times.

•         Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the 

in struc tions, to operate the machine.

•         Clear the area of objects such as  rocks, toys, wire, etc.,  

which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

•      Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat-

ing.  Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

•      Never carry passengers.
•     Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.  

Always look down and behind before and while back-
 ing.

•         Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid 

discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Ma-
terial may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the 
blades when crossing gravel surfaces.

SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

DAGDER:  THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROW ING OBJECTS.  FAILURE 
TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING:  In order to prevent ac-
 ci den tal starting when setting up, 
trans port ing, ad just ing or making re-
pairs, al ways dis con nect spark plug 
wire and place wire where it can not 
contact spark plug. 

WARNING:  Do not coast down a hill 
in neutral, you may lose control of the 
tractor.

WARNING:  Tow only the attachments 
that are rec om mend ed by and com-
ply with spec i fi  ca tions of the man u -
fac tur er of your tractor. Use common 
sense when towing. Operate only at 
the low est possible speed when on a 
slope.  Too heavy of a load, while on 
a slope, is dan ger ous.  Tires can lose 
trac tion with the ground and cause you 
to lose control of your tractor.

WARNING

Engine exhaust, some of its con stit u ents, and cer-
 tain vehicle com po nents contain or emit chem i cals 
known to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and 
birth de fects or oth er re pro duc tive harm.

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related ac ces so ries 
contain lead and lead compounds, chem i cals known 
to the State of Cal i for nia to cause can cer and birth 
defects or oth er re pro duc tive harm. Wash hands 
after handling.

•         Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, 

discharge guard, or other safety devices in place and 
working.

•      Slow down before turning.
•     Never leave a running machine unattended.  Always 

turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and 
remove keys before dismounting.

•      Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine 

and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before 
cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or 
unclogging the discharge guard.

•     Operate machine only in daylight or good artifi cial 

light.

•      Do not operate the machine while under the infl uence 

of alcohol or drugs.

•      Watch for traffi c when operating near or crossing road-

 ways.

•      Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine 

into a trailer or truck.

•     Always wear eye protection when operating ma-

chine.

•         Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, 

are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-re-
lated injuries.  These operators should evaluate their 
ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to 
protect them selves and others from serious injury.

•      Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel 

weights or counterweights.

•     Keep machine free of grass , leaves or other debris 

build-up which can touch hot exhaust / engine parts 
and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves
or other debris which can cause build-up to occur. 
Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or 
storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before
storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

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.
•      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.

•      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 extra care 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.
