WARNING - AVOID FIRES - Your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass
of a height no more than 10" (25 cm). Do not attempt to mow through unusually
tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture), or piles of dry leaves. Allow mower to cool at least five
minutes before fueling or storing inside an enclosed garage or storage shed.
WARNING - AVOID AMPUTATION INJURY - Do not put hands or feet near rotating
parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s) can amputate hands and
feet. Ensure that all safety devices (guards, shields, switches, etc.) are in place and
working. Belt and/or blade spindle contact can crush or injure body parts.
WARNING - AVOID CRUSH/PINCH POINT INJURY - Read, understand, and follow
all the safety rules and instructions in the manual(s) and on the mower before
attempting to service this mower. The deck lift system is spring-assisted and under
tension. Always capture the deck lift pedal by placing the clevis pin behind the lowest
position before attempting to remove the mower deck.
WARNING - AVOID CRUSH/PINCH POINT INJURY - Read, understand, and follow
all the safety rules and instructions in the manual(s) and on the mower before
attempting to use this mower. The self-leveling seat is a movable assembly when not
in the locked position. Do not place hands or fingers into the path of moving parts
when the seat is not locked.
WARNING - REMOVE KEY - Always turn off blade(s), place the speed control pedals
in neutral, stop engine, and remove key before dismounting. If you are leaving the
mower unattended, always remove the key to prevent unauthorized use by children
or others.
WARNING - AVOID TOWING RELATED INJURY - Do not tow a load that exceeds 500
lbs (226 kg) rolling weight and never exceed 50 lbs (22 kg) tongue weight. Never
allow children or others in or on towed equipment. Do not tow on slopes greater than
5° (9%). On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction,
loss of control, and/or loss of the ability to stop. Travel slowly and allow extra distance
to stop.
WARNING - AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM ROLL OVER - Keep roll bar
in the raised upright position with your seat belt fastened. Lower roll bar and do not
fasten seat belt in low clearance situations. Raise roll bar and fasten seat belt as soon
as clearance permits.
