SAFETY INFORMATION
Read This Manual Carefully And Thoroughly Before Operating The Mower!
Training
1. Carefully and thoroughly read the owner’s manual. Allow adequate time to fully understand the controls and
operation of the equipment.
2. Never allow anyone to operate the mower that has not read and fully understood the owner’s manual.
3. Do not carry passengers. Avoid mowing while people, especially children and pets are nearby, since rotating
blades can throw rocks and other items with enough force to cause serious injury.
Before Use of Equipment
Operator:
Wear protective clothing while mowing. Long trousers and safety glasses will help reduce the risk of injury from
thrown objects. It is recommended that steel toe shoes with aggressive soles or some other type of substantial
footwear be worn to help protect your feet and maintain traction on slopes or uneven ground. Always wear hear-
ing protection.
Mowing Area:
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Look for items such as stones, sticks, wire and
other foreign objects. When struck by the mower, these and other objects my become projectiles that could lead
to serous injury and/or death.
Mower:
For your safety and the long life of your mower, always inspect the mower before each use. Before inspection,
make sure it is on a flat and level surface, the blades are disengaged, the ignition switch off with the key
removed, and the spark plug wire is off of the spark plug(s) and hidden so that accidental contact can not be
made,
General Condition:
· Walk around the mower looking for any fluid spills or leaks on or underneath the mower. Remove any
and all excessive debris, dirt, and/or fluids.
· Look for signs of damage or excessive wear. Check the tightness of all nuts, bolts, pins, and screws.
Tighten any that may be loose and replace any that may have been lost during use.
· Be sure the safety interlock controls are operating properly so that the engine can not be started unless
the ground speed control lever is in neutral and the blades disengaged.
· Check the mower blades for any damage or abnormal wear and replace in sets so that they are balanced.
· Check the tire pressure on all four tires. See page 15 for details.
· Check all belts for proper wear and correct tension. See pages 17-19 for details.
· Check engine oil and air filters as recommended in the engine manufacturers’ operators manual.

Operation of Equipment
DANGER: GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. DO NOT ADD FUEL WHILE THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING OR IS HOT. KEEP OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS, AND HEAT AWAY FROM THE
FUEL AND STORE FUEL IN CONTAINERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE. ADD
FUEL OUTDOORS ONLY AND IF THE FUEL IS SPILLED, DO NOT START THE ENGINE. MANUALLY
PUSH THE MOWER AWAY FROM THE SPILL AND IMMEDIATELY WIPE UP.
!
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless, and can be fatal.
Mow only in daylight.
Do not park on hills without the use of wheel blocks.
Make sure the mower is in neutral and the blades are disengaged before attempting to start the engine.
Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill. Never use riding attachments on slopes since there is an
increase risk that they might roll over.
Avoid steep slopes and use extreme caution when changing directions or speed when operating on a slope.
Be extremely careful when operating on a slope or when the grass is damp or wet. Reduced traction could
cause sliding. Never mow by pulling the mower back towards you...you might slip.
Watch for traffic when crossing surfaces other than grass. (i.e. transporting,) loading a trailer or vehicle, or
when the mower is not in use.
Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields, or without the safety devices securely mounted in
place.
Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the mower while in operation.
Do not change the governor settings or over speed the engine.
Always stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment.
To help reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep the engine and the area around the engine free of grass,
leaves, or any other type of foreign material.
Beware of cutting edges. Always wear gloves for safety when performing blade maintenance activities.
Beware on multiple blades units since the rotation of one blade may cause the rotation of the other blade.
Do not store or operate the mower with the grass chute deflector in raised position. Serious injury could
occur.
