the machine which could result in serious injury Disengage all attachment clutches and depress the brake pedal completely before attempting to start engine 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 eg pasture or piles of dry leaves Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust andor build up on the mower deck presenting a potential fire hazard Use only accessories and attachments approved for this machine by the machine manufacturer Read understand and follow all instructions provided with the approved accessory or attachment For a list of approved accessories and attachments call 18883314569 Data indicates that operators age 60 years and above are involved in a large percentage of riding mowerrelated injuries These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury If situations occur which are not covered in this manual use care and good judgment SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tipover accidents which can result in severe injury or death All slopes require extra caution If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it do not mow it For your safety use the Slope Guide included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or hilly area If the slope is greater than 15 degrees as shown on the Slope Guide do not operate this machine on that area or serious injury could result Do Mow up and down slopes not across Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes Watch for holes ruts bumps rocks or other hidden objects Uneven terrain could overturn the machine Tall grass can hide obstacles 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 Follow the manufacturers recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments These can change the stability of the machine 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 Avoid starting or stopping on a slope If tires lose traction disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope Do Not Do not turn on slopes unless necessary then turn slowly and gradually downhill if possible Do not mow near dropoffs 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 Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes Do not mow on wet grass Reduced traction could cause sliding Do not attempt to coast downhill Overspeeding may cause the operator to lose control of the machine resulting in serious injury or death Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments eg loaded dump cart lawn roller etc on slopes greater than 5 degrees When going down hill the extra weight tends to push the tractor and may cause you to loose control eg tractor may speed up braking and steering ability are reduced attachment may jackknife and cause tractor to overturn CHILDREN 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 They do not understand the dangers Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them Keep children out of the mowing area and in 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 blades shut off They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation Use extreme care when approaching blind corners doorways shrubs trees or other objects that may block your vision of a child who may run into the machine To avoid backover accidents always disengage the cutting blades before shifting into Reverse If equipped the Reverse Caution Mode blades operate while machine rides in reverse should not be used when children or others are around Keep children away from hot or
