General Operation
1. Read, understand and follow all instructions on your
equipment and in their manuals before attempting
to assemble and operate. Keep this manual in a
safe place for future and regular reference and for
ordering replacement parts.
2. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object
injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at
least 75 feet from the tractor while it is in operation.
Stop tractor if anyone enters the area.
3. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment
is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones,
toys and other foreign objects which could be picked
up and thrown by the blade(s). Thrown objects can
cause serious personal injury.
4. Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation and while performing an adjustment or
repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which
ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.
5. Do not operate the tractor without the discharge
cover or entire grass catcher in its proper place. A
missing or damaged discharge cover or grass bag
attachment component may result in thrown objects
or blade contact injuries.
6. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under
the cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s) can
amputate hands and feet.
7. Shut off tractor's engine and wait for blades to come
to a complete stop before unclogging tractor's
discharge opening or bagger parts.
8. Slow down before turning. Operate the tractor
smoothly. Avoid erratic operation and excessive
speed. Be aware that a grass catcher attachment can
affect the handling characteristics of your tractor.
9. Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine
and wait until the blade(s) come to a complete
stop before opening bagger attachment's top
cover, removing grass catcher, emptying grass,
unclogging chute, removing any grass or debris,
or making any adjustments. Never leave a running
tractor unattended. Always turn off blade(s), place

Symbol
WARNING! Your Responsibility—Restrict the use of this tractor to persons who read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this
manual and on the tractor.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
10. Your tractor is designed to cut normal residential
grass. Do not attempt to mow through unusually
tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves.
Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust
and/or build up on the mower deck presenting a
potential fire hazard.
11. If situations occur which are not covered in this
manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your
customer service representative for assistance.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or death.
Attachments can also affect the stability of the tractor. All
slopes require extra caution.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this
manual to estimate the angle of slopes before operating
this tractor on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater
than 10 degrees or 17 percent as shown on the slope gauge,
do not operate the tractor with the grass bag attachment
installed on that area or serious injury could result.
Do:
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the tractor.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting
so that you will not have to stop or shift while on
the slope. Tires may lose traction on slopes even
though the brakes are functioning properly. Always
keep tractor in gear when going down slopes to take
advantage of engine braking action.
4. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
for wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction. Rapid engagement or braking could cause
the front of the tractor to lift and rapidly flip over
backwards which could cause serious injury.
5. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
READ THE OPERATOR'S MANUAL(S)
Read, understand and follow all instructions in the manual(s) before attempting to assemble and operate.
STOP
Turn OFF the engine before opening the bagger cover.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Do Not:
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
2. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The tractor could suddenly turn over
if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch or if an
edge caves in.
3. Do not try to stabilize the tractor by putting your
foot on the ground.
4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
General Service
1. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make
certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground
against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
2. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
3. Never tamper with your tractor's safety interlock
system or other safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
4. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs while
the tractor's engine is running.
5. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover
are subject to wear and damage which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For
safety protection, frequently check components
and replace immediately with original equipment
manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this
manual. Use of parts which do not meet the original
equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!
6. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
