protect themselves and others from serious injury.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel
weights or counterweights.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Machines

WARNING:

In order to prevent accidental

starting when setting up, transporting,
adjusting or making repairs, always
disconnect spark plug wire and place wire
where it can not contact spark plug.

WARNING:

Do not coast down a hill in

neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.

WARNING:

Tow only the attachments that

are recommended by and comply with

VSHFL´FDWLRQVRIWKHPDQXIDFWXUHURI\RXU

tractor. Use common sense when towing.
Operate only at the lowest possible speed
when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while
on a slope, is dangerous. Tyres can lose
traction with the ground and cause you to
lose control of your tractor.

WARNING:

Engine exhaust, some of its

constituents and certain vehicle components
contain or emit chemicals which may cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

WARNING:

Battery posts, terminals and

related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals which may cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.

• Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,
do not mow it.
• Mow up and down slopes, not across.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tyres may lose traction.
Always keep the machine in gear when going down
slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the
tyres lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction,
which could cause the machine to roll over.
• Use extra care while operating machine with grass
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your
foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over
the edge or if the edge caves in.
