Only allow responsible adults, who are
familiar with the instructions, to operate this
machine.
Only the operator can prevent and is
responsible for accidents or injuries
occurring to themselves, other people or
property.
Operator Age
DO NOT allow children under the age of 18
to operate any outdoor power equipment.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
Data indicates 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.
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. NEVER assume
that children will remain where you last saw
them.
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(s) 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 extreme care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that
may block your view of a child.
Keep children out of the mowing area and in
the watchful care of a responsible adult
other than the operator.
Personal Protection
DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry and
tie back hair that may get caught in rotating
parts.
Wear adequate outer garments.
NEVER wear open sandals or canvas shoes
during operation. Wear adequate safety
gear, protective gloves and footwear.
Wear proper footwear to improve footing on
slippery surfaces.
ALWAYS wear eye and ear protection when
operating machine.
Before Operating
Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
Maintain the machine to be in compliance
with the maintenance schedule.
Clean grass and debris from unit, especially
from around muffler and engine, to help
prevent fires.
Check parking brake operation frequently.
Adjust and service as required.
Inspect unit before each use for missing or
damaged decals and shields, correctly
operating safety interlock system, and
deterioration of grass catchers. Replace or
repair as needed.
Ensure Safety Interlock System is
functioning properly. DO NOT operate unit if
safety interlock is damaged or disabled.
Start and operate unit only when seated in
operator’s position. Steering control levers
must be in neutral, PTO disengaged and
parking brake set when starting engine.
NEVER interfere with the intended function
of a safety device or reduce the protection
provided by a safety device. Check their
proper operation regularly.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other
debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage
and remove any fuel-soaked debris.
Operation
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders
before operating. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
NEVER operate machine in a closed or
poorly-ventilated area.
ALWAYS maintain unit in safe operating
condition. Damaged or worn out muffler can
cause fire or explosion.
