this symbol. HEED ITS WARNING!
This attachment was built to be operated according to the safe operation practices in this manual. Carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious
injury. Mowers are capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions, as well as the safety instructions
provided with your mower, could result in serious injury or death.

General Operation

1. Read, understand and follow all instructions on your equipment and in their manuals before
attempting to assemble and operate. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference
and for ordering replacement parts.
2. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at
least 75 feet from the mower while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
3. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones,
toys and other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s). Thrown objects
can cause serious personal injury.
4. Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an adjustment or
repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes.
5. Do not operate the mower without the discharge cover or entire grass catcher in its proper place. A
missing or damaged discharge cover or grass bag attachment component may result in thrown objects
or blade contact injuries.
6. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s) can
amputate hands and feet.
7. Shut off mower's engine and wait for blades to come to a complete stop before unclogging mower's
discharge opening or bagger parts.
8. Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly. Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed.
Be aware that a grass catcher attachment can affect the handling characteristics of your mower.
9. Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait until the blade(s) come to a complete stop
before opening bagger attachment's top cover, removing grass catcher, emptying grass, unclogging
chute, removing any grass or debris or making any adjustments. Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always turn off blade(s), place transmission in neutral, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key before dismounting.
10. Your machine is designed to cut normal residential grass. Do not attempt to mow through unusually
tall, dry grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Dry grass or leaves may contact the engine exhaust
and/or build up on the mower deck presenting a potential fire hazard.
11. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your
customer service representative for assistance.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which can result in severe injury or
death. Attachments can also affect the stability of the machine. All slopes require extra caution.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to estimate the angle of slopes before
operating this machine on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 10 degrees or 17 percent as shown
on the slope gauge, do not operate the mower with the grass bag attachment installed on that area or serious
injury could result.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING
DANGER
Do:
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. 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.
4. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.
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.
5. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
Do Not:
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
2. Do not mow near drop-offs, 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.
3. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.
4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.
General Service
1. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting.
2. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
3. Never tamper with your mower's safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
4. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs while the mower's engine is running.
5. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are subject to wear and damage which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components
and replace immediately with original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this
manual. Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!
6. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
