The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting
units. Keep clear of the discharge opening.

Do not mow with the discharge deflector
raised, removed, or altered unless there is a
grass-collection system or mulch kit in place and
working properly.
•
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.
•
Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks with the
machine. Always yield the right-of-way.

– Disengage the power takeoff.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the machine and remove the key.
– Wait for all moving parts to stop.
•
Never leave a running machine unattended.
•
Be aware of the mower discharge path and direct
the discharge away from others. Avoid discharging

•
Stop the blades, slow down the machine, and use
caution when crossing surfaces other than grass

safely operating the machine. Children who have
been given rides in the past could appear in the
operating area without warning and be run over or
backed over by the machine.
