LAWN TRACTOR SAFETY
Refuel with Care
Gasoline is extremely flammable, and gasoline vapor can explode.
Allow the engine to cool if the lawn tractor has been in operation.
Refuel only outdoors in a well-ventilated area with the engine OFF.
Never fill the fuel tank beyond the maximum fill mark. Never smoke
near gasoline, and keep other flames and sparks away. Always store
gasoline in an approved container.
Wear Protective Clothing
Wearing protective clothing will reduce your risk of injury. Long pants
and eye protection reduce the risk of injuries from thrown objects.
Sturdy shoes with aggressive soles provide better traction on the lawn
tractor's platform and pedals.
Turn Engine Off When Not Operating
the Lawn Tractor
If you need to leave the lawn tractor for any reason, even just to
inspect the lawn ahead, always turn the engine off. And take the key if
you go farther away.
Operation on Slopes
This lawn tractor is intended for use on relatively flat terrain. Operating
the lawn tractor on slopes exceeding 10 degrees (17% grade) could
cause the lawn tractor to tip over. Always mow up and down slopes,
never across. When mowing up and down slopes, empty the optional
grass bags when they are half full.
Mowing Conditions
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Do not drive the lawn trac-
tor at night or under poor light conditions.
Mowing Near Roads
Always watch for vehicle traffic when operating the lawn tractor near
roads and driveways. Never drive the lawn tractor on public roads.
