SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE
TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
I. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the machine before starting.
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.
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 backing.
• 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 guard in place.
• Slow down before turning.
• Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.
• Turn off blades when not mowing.
• Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute.
• Mow only in daylight or good artifi cial light.
• Do not operate the machine while under the infl uence of alcohol or drugs.
• Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
• Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine 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 serious injury.
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 tipover 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 mow it.
DO:
• 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 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.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.
• Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
DO NOT:
•
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, 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 machine by putting your foot on the ground.
• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the ma chine 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 machine off if children enter the area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and down for small children.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
IV. SERVICE
• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are fl ammable and vapors are explosive.
- Use only an approved container.
- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running.
Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
- Never refuel the machine indoors.
- Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open fl ame, such as a water heater.
• Never run a machine inside a closed 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.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool before storing.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.
• 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.

LEVEL MOWER DECK
• Be sure deck is properly leveled for best mower per for man ce. See your tractors owner's manual for ins truc tions.
OPERATION
TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING
OPE RA TION:
Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor owner's manual.
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.
• 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 per for man ce.
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit your conditions.
• If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice. The fi rst 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, en ga ge the par king brake and stop the engine.
b. Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.
c. Remove one container at a time by grasping con tai ner 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.
e. Tip the container on its side and slide the fi lled 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 con tai ner overlaps left container at center supports.
j. Close cover and secure latches over center support tubes.
• Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the fl ow path causing clogging.
• Your bagger is equipped with a dump bag indicator. As the bags become full, the fl ow 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.
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.
• 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, en ga ge the parking brake and stop the engine.
- 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.
- Reassemble and latch chutes c. Check to insure dump bag indicator has not become clogged.
- The air passage hole must be clear of debris.
Gently insert a small twig or wire into pas sage way to clear.
CAUTION
• Do not operate mower with grass catch er par tial ly installed.
• Disengage blades and stop engine be fore un clog ging chutes, etc.
• Close cover before starting.
• Disengage mower when crossing drive ways or gravel surfaces and other areas where thrown objects could be a hazard.
• Do not attempt to vacuum up cans or other potentially hazardous pro jec tiles.
