WARNING: In order to prevent acci den tal 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 riding mower.

WARNING: This unit is not intended for towing, or use of wheel weights. Only use attachments designed specifically for this riding mower.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before starting.
• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.
• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

- Never carry passengers.

- Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

- Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces.

- Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and working.

- Slow down before turning.

- Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blade, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.

- Disengage blade when not mowing. Shut off engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge chute.

- Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

- Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

- Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

- Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

• Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

- Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

- Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris build-up which can touch hot exhaust / engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves or other debris which can cause build-up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

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 (15° Max), 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. Tires may lose traction.
  • Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
• If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blade, shift into reverse and back down slowly.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blade 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 no 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.

III. CHILDREN

WARNING: CHILDREN CAN BE INJURED BY THIS EQUIPMENT. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children be a minimum of 12 year of age before operating a pedestrian controlled lawn mower and a minimum of 16 years of age before operating a riding lawn mower.

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.
  • Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.
• Never carry children, even with the blade shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.

Your riding mower is equipped with a Reverse Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse direction with the deck clutch engaged will shut off the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" position.

WARNING: Backing up with the deck clutch engaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the deck clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders will enter the mowing area.

• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.
• With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise to ROS "ON" position.
• Look down and behind before and while backing.
• Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) po si tion to start movement.
• When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

Engine "ON" (Normal Operating)

• Clear the lawn from stones and other objects which can be thrown away by the blades.
• Localize and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid collision.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce until the required cutting result is obtained.
• If the grass is not too long and thick the drive speed can be increased by selecting a higher gear without affecting the cutting result.
• The best lawn is achieved if the grass is cut often. Cutting becomes more even and the cut grass is more evenly dis trib ut ed over the surface. Total time taken is not greater, since higher drive speed can be selected without affecting the cutting results.
• Avoid cutting wet grass. The cutting results will be worse since the wheels will sink into the soft lawn.
• Spray the cutting unit with water underneath after use.
