Children
1.
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.
a.
Keep children out of the mowing area and in
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
b.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
c.
To avoid back-over accidents, always look behind
and down for small children.
d.
Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off.
They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere
with safe machine operation.
e.
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
path of the machine.
f.
Keep children away from hot or running engines.
They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.
g.
Remove key when machine is unattended to
prevent unauthorized operation.
2.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this
machine. Children 14 and over should read and understand
the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual
and on the machine and should be trained and supervised
by an adult.

towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.

limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
3.
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
4.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction and loss of control.
5.
The maximum weight on the hitch is 50 lbs and the
maximum towed load is 500 lbs.
6.
Never allow passengers on the towed equipment.
7.
Loss of traction can occur on slopes, 5° (9 %) maximum
grade.
8.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

Never modify or tamper with the
cylinder, hoses, check valves, shut-off valve, or
regulator as this could result in poor system
performance, leakage, and a fire hazard.

complete stop within approximately (7) seven seconds
after operating the blade disengagement control. If
the blades do not stop within the this time frame, your
machine should be serviced.
