Read, understand, and follow all safety
practices in Owner/Operator Manual before
beginning assembly. Failure to follow
instructions could result in personal injury
and/or damage to unit.
ALWAYS remove key and/or wire from spark
plug before assembly. Unintentional engine
start up can cause death or serious injury.
Complete a walk around inspection of unit
and work area to understand:
• Work area • Your unit • All safety decals
Determine which attachments are needed
and can be used safely.
Inspect unit before each use for: missing or
damaged decals and shields, correctly
operating safety interlock system, and
deterioration of grass catchers. Replace or
repair as needed.
ALWAYS check overhead and side
clearances carefully before operation.
ALWAYS be aware of traffic when operating
along streets or curbs.
Keep children and people away.
Keep children out of work area and under
watchful care of a responsible adult.
Keep area of operation clear of all toys, pets,
and debris. Thrown objects can cause injury.
Check for weak spots on docks, ramps or
floors. Avoid uneven work areas and rough
terrain. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
DO NOT operate near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. Unit can suddenly turn over if
a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if
an edge caves in.
Data indicates that operators, age 60 and
above, are involved in a larger percentage of
riding mower related injuries. These
operators should evaluate their ability to
operate the riding mower safely enough to
protect themselves and others from serious
injury.
Read the entire Owner/Operator manual and
other training material. If the operator or the
mechanic cannot read the manual, it is the
owner's responsibility to explain it to them.

for accidents or injuries occurring to
themselves, other people or property.
Only trained adults may operate or service
unit. Training includes actual operation.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
