Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.

Think Safety First

Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and decals
in the safety section. Knowing this information could help
you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
DANGER
Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or
drowning.
A loss of traction is a loss of steering control.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
• Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• When mowing slopes, gradually work from
lower to higher areas on the incline.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
• Turn up, into an incline when changing
directions on slopes. Turning down the slope
reduces traction.
• Attachments change the handling characteristics
of the machine. Use extra caution when using
attachments with the machine.
