 WARNING 

Thrown Objects Hazard

Do not open the cover while the blades are turning.

• Check the catcher system to make sure it is bolted

tightly to the unit.

• Catcher bags are subject to deterioration and wear

during normal use. Inspect the bag periodically for

tears, holes, or weak spots and replace with a new bag

that meets manufacturer’s durability standards.

 WARNING 

Loss of Control, Roll-over and Tipping Hazard

• Use reduced speed on uneven ground and when

turning corners.

catcher system be kept only half full when mowing any

is empty.

• Mow on the face of slopes as directed in the operator’s

manual and safety warnings on the product.

• Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).
• Select a slow ground speed before driving onto a slope.

Avoid using brakes to control speed.
