and others. Read and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may result
in personal injury. When you see this symbol. HEED ITS WARNING!
DANGER! This attachment was built to be used according to the safe operation practices in this manual. Carelessness or error on the part of the operator
can result in serious injury. Mowers are capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions as
well as the instructions provided with your mower, could result in serious injury or death.
General Operation
1.
Read, understand, and follow all instructions
on your equipment and in their manuals
before attempting to assemble and operate.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future
and regular reference and for ordering
replacement parts.
2.
To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object
injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children and
pets at least 75 feet from the mower while it
is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters
the area.
3.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used. Remove all stones,
sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other foreign
objects which could be picked up and thrown
by the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause
serious personal injury.
4.
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles
during operation and while performing an
adjustment or repair to protect your eyes.
Thrown objects which ricochet can cause
serious injury to the eyes.
5.
Do not operate the mower without the
discharge cover or entire grass catcher in its
proper place. A missing or damaged discharge
cover or grass bag attachment component
may result in thrown objects or blade contact
injuries.
6.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts
or under the cutting deck. Contact with the
blade(s) can amputate hands and feet.
7.
Shut off mower's engine and wait for blades to
come to a complete stop before unclogging
mower's discharge opening or bagger parts.
8.
Slow down before turning. Operate the
machine smoothly. Avoid erratic operation
and excessive speed. Be aware that a grass
catcher attachment can affect the handling
characteristics of your mower.
9.
Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop
engine and wait until the blade(s) come to
a complete stop before opening bagger
attachment's top cover, removing grass
catcher, emptying grass, unclogging chute,
removing any grass or debris, or making any
adjustments.
Safety Symbols
This table depicts and describes safety symbols that may appear on this product. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine before attempting to assemble and operate.
Symbol
WARNING! Your Responsibility—Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who read, understand and follow the warnings and
instructions in this manual and on the machine.
10.
Never leave a running machine unattended.
Always turn off blade(s), place transmission
in neutral, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key before dismounting.
11.
Your machine is designed to cut normal
residential grass of a height no more than 10".
Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall,
dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves.
Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine
exhaust and/or build up on the mower deck
presenting a potential fire hazard.
12.
If situations occur which are not covered in
this manual, use care and good judgment.
Contact your customer service representative
for assistance.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents which can result in severe
injury or death. Attachments can also affect the
stability of the machine. All slopes require extra
caution.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as
part of this manual to estimate the angle of slopes
before operating this machine on a sloped or hilly
area. If the slope is greater than 10 degrees as shown
on the slope gauge, do not operate the mower with
the grass bag attachment installed on that area or
serious injury could result.
Do:
1.
Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
2.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed
setting so that you will not have to stop or shift
while on the slope. Tires may lose traction on
slopes even though the brakes are functioning
properly. Always keep machine in gear when
going down slopes to take advantage of
engine braking action.
4.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
for wheel weights or counterweights to
improve stability.
READ THE OPERATOR'S MANUAL(S)
Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual(s) before attempting to assemble and operate.
STOP
Turn OFF the engine before opening the bagger cover.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
5.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in
speed or direction. Rapid engagement or
braking could cause the front of the machine
to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which
could cause serious injury.
6.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Do Not:
1.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
2.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The mower could suddenly
turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff,
ditch, or if an edge caves in.
3.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
4.
Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
5.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction
could cause sliding.
General Service
1.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting,
make certain the blade(s) and all moving parts
have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire
and ground against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
2.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
3.
Never tamper with your mower's safety
interlock system or other safety devices. Check
their proper operation regularly.
4.
Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs
while the mower's engine is running.
5.
Grass catcher components and the discharge
cover are subject to wear and damage which
could expose moving parts or allow objects to
be thrown. For safety protection, frequently
check components and replace immediately
with original equipment manufacturer's
(O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this manual.
Use of parts which do not meet the original
equipment specifications may lead to
improper performance and compromise
safety!
6.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction
labels, as necessary.
