TY instructions could result in serious injury or
death to the operator or other persons. The

Protection for 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.
1. KEEP children out of the mowing area and
under the watchful care of a responsible
adult other than the operator.
2. DO NOT allow children in yard when
machine is operated and turn machine
OFF if anyone enters the area.
3. DO NOT allow pre-teenage children to
operate machine.

5. DO NOT pull mower backwards unless
absolutely necessary. LOOK and SEE

hazards before and while backing.
6. USE EXTRA CARE when approaching
blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure vision.
Slope Operation
1. Slopes are a major factor related to slip
and fall accidents, which can result in
severe injury. All slopes require extra cau-
tion. If you feel uneasy on a slope, DO
NOT mow it.
2. Mow across slopes, never up-and-down.
Exercise extreme CAUTION when chang-
ing directions on slopes. DO NOT mow
steep slopes or other areas where stability
or traction is in doubt.
3. Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments; these affect the handling and
the stability of the machine.

1. Read, understand, and follow instructions
and warnings in this manual and on the
mower, engine and attachments. Know the
controls and the proper use of the mower
before starting.
2. Only mature, responsible persons shall
