Safety rules

and information

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

operate on it.

Control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not

be regained by the application of the brake. The main

reasons for loss of control are: insufficient tire grip on the

ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of

machine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness of

the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load

distribution.

Do

• See your authorized dealer for recommendations of

wheel weights or counterweights to improve

stability.

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain

could overturn the unit.Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will

not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or other

attachments.These can change the stability of the

unit.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or

direction.

• Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling

downhill. When clutching, release clutch slowly.

A-2

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 mo

wing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.

The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

Safety Rules & Information

GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the

manual and on the unit before starting.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with

the instructions, to operate the unit (local

regulations can restrict operator age).

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

etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the

blade(s).

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before

mowing. Stop unit if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while

travelling in reverse.

• 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.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running unit unattended. Always

disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine,

and remove keys before dismounting.

• Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the blades

when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass catcher or

unclogging chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

• Do not operate the unit while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit

into a trailer or truck.

• 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 injury.

• Keep in mind the operator is responsible for

accidents occurring to other people or property.

• All drivers should seek and obtain professional and

practical instruction.

• Always wear substantial footwear and trousers.

Never operate when barefoot or wearing sandals.

• Before using, always visually check that the blades

and blade hardware are present, intact, and

secure. Replace worn or damaged parts.

• Never operate the machine with defective guards,

or without safety protective devises in place.

• Disengage attachments before: refuelling, removing

an attachment, making adjustments (unless the

adjustment can be made from the operator’s

position).

• When the machine is parked, stored, or left

unattended, lower the cutting means unless a

positive mechanical lock is used.

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 17,6

percent (10°) which is a rise of 106 cm (3.5 feet)

vertically in 607 cm (20 feet) horizontally.

When operating on slopes use additional wheel

weights or counterweights. See your dealer to

determine which weights are available and

appropriate for your unit.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope.

In addition to front and rear weights, use extra

caution when operating on slopes with rear-

mounted grass catcher.

Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the

face, use caution when changing directions and

DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

A-3

Slope Operation Continued

Do Not

• Do not start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,

turn slowly and gradually uphill, if possible.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments.The mower could suddenly turn over

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

edge caves in.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could

cause sliding.

• Do not try to stabilize the unit by putting your foot

on the ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert

to the presence of children. Children are often

attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never

assume that children will remain where you last saw

them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and under

the watchful care of another responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

• Before and during reverse operation, look behind

and down for small children.

• Never carry children.They may fall off and be

seriously injured or interfere with safe unit

operation.

• Never allow children to operate the unit.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,

shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure

vision.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE

• Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling

practices when refueling the tractor after

transportation or storage.

• Always follow the engine manual instructions for

storage preparations before storing the tractor for

both short and long term periods.

• Always follow the engine manual instructions for

proper start-up procedures when returning the unit

to service.

• Never store the unit or fuel container inside where

there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a

water heater. Allow unit to cool before storing.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels.

They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

a) Use only an approved container.

b) Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the

engine running. Allow engine to cool before

refueling. Do not smoke.

c) Never refuel the unit indoors.

• Never run a unit in an enclosed area.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment

bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their

proper operation regularly and make necessary

repairs if they are not functioning properly.

• Keep unit free of grass, leaves, or other debris

build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an

object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine

running unless specified otherwise in the engine

manufacturer’s manual.

• Grass catcher components are subject to wear,

damage, and deterioration, which could expose

moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.

Frequently check components and replace with

manufacturer’s recommended parts, when

necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the

blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution

when servicing them.

• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and

service as required.

• Use only factory authorized replacement parts

when making repairs.

• Always comply with factory specifications on all

settings and adjustments.
