SAFETY RULES  
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers  
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.  
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.  
Look for this symbol to point out  
important safety precautions. It means  
CAUTION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR  
SAFETY IS INVOLVED.  
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades  
off.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.Always  
look down and behind before and while backing.  
Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously  
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.  
Keepchildrenoutofthemowingareaandunderthewatchful  
care of another responsible adult.  
CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill  
in neutral, you may lose control of  
the tractor.  
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.  
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small  
children.  
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.  
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.  
Watchforholes,ruts,orbumps.Uneventerraincouldoverturn  
the machine. 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.  
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,  
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the  
slope.  
CAUTION:Towonlytheattachments  
that are recommended by and  
comply with specifications of  
the manufacturer of your tractor.  
Use common sense when towing.  
Operate only at the lowest possible  
speed when on a slope. Too heavy  
of a load, while on a slope, is  
dangerous. Tires can lose traction  
with the ground and cause you to  
lose control of your tractor.  
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift  
into reverse and back down slowly.  
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn  
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.  
CAUTION: In order to prevent  
accidental starting when setting  
up,transporting,adjustingormaking  
repairs, always disconnect spark  
plug wire and place wire where it  
cannot contact spark plug.

OPERATION  
Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew  
TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING  
OPERATION:  
is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these  
conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of  
the flow path causing clogging.  
Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor  
owner's manual.  
Your bagger is equipped with a dump bag indicator.As  
the bags become full, the flow indicating ball will drop  
down in its slot, indicating that the bags are full or the  
chutes have become clogged. Care should be taken  
not to damage the parts and that the ball moves freely  
at the beginning of each use.  
When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass  
and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are  
picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long  
periods of time. The amount collected and the total time  
of operation may be greater than you will experience with  
regular use of your grass catcher.  
NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes, check/empty  
bags when ball begins to drop down in the slot.Experience  
will teach you the best time to empty the bags.  
Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.  
Select a gear low enough to give good mower cutting  
performance, good quality cut and good bagging  
performance.  
If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves,  
it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the  
system or that the grass catcher containers are full.  
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the  
parking brake and stop the engine.  
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit  
your conditions.  
- Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.  
- Slide out containers and dispose of clippings .  
- Replace containers, close cover, and latch.  
b. Unlatch chutes and check for clogging  
- Remove all debris in chutes.  
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice.The  
first time relatively high, the second time to desired  
height.  
Use left hand side of mower for trimming.  
Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher  
containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the  
plastic trash bags when full:  
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the  
parking brake and stop the engine.  
- Reassemble and latch chutes  
c. Checktoinsuredumpbagindicatorhasnotbecome  
clogged.  
b. Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.  
- The air passage hole must be clear of debris.  
Gentlyinsertasmalltwigorwireintopassageway  
to clear.  
c. Remove one container at a time by grasping  
container handles and pulling toward the rear, off  
of the tube rails.  
d. With the container resting on the ground, close  
and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.  
CAUTION  
e. Tip the container on its side and slide the filled bag  
from the container.  
f. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges of the  
bag draped over upper lip of the container.  
g. Repeat for other containers.  
h. Reinstall containers making sure right container  
overlaps left container at center supports.  
• Do not operate mower with grass catcher  
partially installed.  
• Disengage blades and stop engine before  
leaving tractor seat to empty containers,  
unclogging chutes, etc.  
• Close cover before starting.  
j. Closecoverandsecurelatchesovercentersupport
