SAFETY RULES

1. Know the tractor controls and how to stop quickly.
READ THE TRACTOR'S OWNER'S MANUAL.
2. Shut the engine off before attaching, adjusting, or dis-
connecting the Collection System.
3. Check the cart to make sure it is attached tightly to
tractor.
4. Check the latch handle to make sure it is engaged so
the cart's box is locked to the frame.
5. Look behind you to make sure the area is clear
before backing up.
6. DO NOT turn sharply when the tractor is alongside a
building or any object.
7. DO NOT carry passengers in the cart.
8. For added tractor stability and to prevent tipping or
loss of control:
a. Reduce ground speed on uneven ground and
when turning corners.
b. Reduce loads on hillsides. It is recommended that
the Collection System be kept only half full when
negotiating any slopes. Start mowing on slopes when
the Collection System is empty.
c. Mow up and down the face of slopes; never mow
across the face of any slope.
When the blower assembly is removed from the
mower deck, the deflector must be installed as
described in Operating Without Collection
System.
9. CAUTION: Objects may be thrown from mower.
For your safety:
a. DO NOT remove the cover while the mower blades
are turning. Shut off the engine before opening cover
or removing the grass chute.
b. Be sure the complete Collection System is in place
(cover secure and grass chute connected) before
operating the mower.
c. Do check the cart cover frequently for wear and
tear. Replace with a new cover for safety protection.
10. For best results when mowing grass set the mower to
cut from 1 to 2 inches of grass. If grass is exception-
ally tall, set your mower as high a possible for first
cutting. Lower cutting height at succeeding cuttings
until proper height is reached. It may be necessary to
mow tall grass at a slower ground speed.
