The operationof any tractor can result in foreign objectsthrown intothe
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses
or eye shields while operating your tractor or performing any adjustments
or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles, or
standard safety glasses.

(dead).

running, hot engine exhaust gases may
cause =browning" of grass. Toeliminate
this possibility, always stop engine when
stopping tractor on grass areas.

pletely, as described above, before
leaving the operator's position; to empty
grass catcher, etc.
TO USE THRO'I-rLB CONTROL
Always operate engine at full throttle.
• Operating engine at less than full
throttle reduces the battery charging
rate.
• Full throttle offers the best bagging and
mower performance.

starting a cold engine. Do not use to start
a warm engine.
