General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Contacting the blade can result in serious personal
injury. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position. When you turn the key to the
OFF position, the engine should shut off and the
blade should stop. If not, stop using your machine

Operate the machine only in good visibility and
appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate
the machine when there is the risk of lightning.

Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting
units. Keep clear of the discharge opening.

Do not mow with the discharge door raised,
removed, or altered unless there is a
grass-collection system or mulch kit in place and
working properly.

Do not mow in reverse unless it is absolutely
necessary. Always look down and behind you
before moving the machine in reverse.
•
Use extreme care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
block your view.

Stop the blades whenever you are not mowing.
•
If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate,
immediately shut off the engine, remove the key
(if equipped), and wait for all moving parts to stop
before examining the machine for damage. Make
all necessary repairs before resuming operation.
