Operator Safety

 3.  Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking brake 

is engaged before starting engine.  Only start 
engine from the operator’s position.  Use seat 
belts if provided.

 4.  Be sure of your footing while using pedestrian 

controlled equipment, especially when backing up.  
Walk, don’t run.  Reduced footing could cause 
slipping.

 5.  Slow down and use extra care on hillsides.  Be 

sure to travel in the recommended direction on 
hillsides.  Turf conditions can affect the machines 
stability.  Use caution when operating near drop-
offs.

 6.  Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely 

necessary.  Always look down and behind before 
and while traveling in reverse.

 7.  Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do 

not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower 
without either the entire grass catcher or the 
deflector in place.

 8.  Slow down and use caution when making turns 

and when changing directions on slopes.

 9.  Never raise deck with the blades running.
 10. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always 

disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop 
engine, and remove keys before dismounting.  
Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.

 11. Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the blades 

when not mowing.

 12. Never operate with guards not securely in place.  

Be sure all interlocks are attached, adjusted 
properly and functioning properly.

 13. Never operate with the discharge deflector raised, 

removed or altered, unless using a grass catcher.

 14. Do not change the engine governor setting or 

overspeed the engine.

 15. Stop on level ground, lower implements, 

disengage drives, engage parking brake, shut off 
engine before leaving the operator’s position for 
any reason including emptying the grass catchers 
or unclogging the chute.

 16. Stop equipment and inspect blades after striking 

objects or abnormal vibration occurs.  Make 
necessary repairs before resuming operations.

 17. Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.
 18. Look behind and down before backing up to be 

sure of a clear path.

 19. Never carry passengers and keep pets and 

bystanders away.

 20. Do not operate the unit while under the influence 

of alcohol or drugs.

 21. Slow down and use caution when making turns 

and crossing roads and sidewalks.  Stop blades if 
not mowing.

 22. Use care when loading or unloading the machine 

into a trailer or truck.

 23. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, 

trees or other objects that may obscure vision.

Training

 1.  Read, understand, and follow all instructions in 

the manual and on the unit before starting.  If the 
operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read English 
it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this 
material to them.

 2.  Become familiar with the safe operation of the 

equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.

 3.  All operators and mechanics should be trained.  

The owner is responsible for training the users.

 4.  Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar 

with the instructions, to operate the unit.

 5.  Never let children or untrained people operate 

or service the equipment.  Local regulations may 
restrict the age of the operator.

 6.  The owner/user can prevent and is responsible 

for accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, 
other people or property.

 7.  Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and 

above, are involved in a large percentage of riding 
mower-related injuries.  These operators should 
evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower 
safely enough to protect themselves and others 
from serious injury.

Preparation

 1.  Evaluate the terrain to determine what 

accessories and attachments are needed to 
properly and safely perform the job.  Use only 
accessories and attachments approved by the 
manufacturer.

 2.  Wear appropriate clothing including safety shoes, 

safety glasses and ear protection.  Long hair, 
loose clothing or jewelry may get tangled in 
moving parts.

 3.  Inspect the area where the equipment is to be 

used and remove all objects such as rocks, toys 
and wire, which can be thrown by the machine.

 4.  Use extra care when handling gasoline and 

other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are 
explosive.

a)  Use only an approved container.

b)  Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the 

engine running. Allow engine to cool before 
refueling.  Do not smoke.

c)  Never refuel or drain the machine indoors.

 5.  Check that operator’s presence controls, safety 

switches and shields are attached and functioning 
properly.  Do not operate unless they are 
functioning properly.

Operation

 1.  Never run an engine in an enclosed area.
 2.  Mow only in the daylight or with good artificial 

light, keeping away from holes and hidden 
hazards.

Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss 
of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or 
equipment.  This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.
