• Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction and loss of control on

slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on slopes.

• Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

• Use only approved hitches. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch

designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the

approved hitch point.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight limits for

towed equipment and towing on slopes.

• Towed attachments will increase the risk of rollover. Refer to the

“Operating on Slopes” section for more information.

• Do not turn sharply. Use additional caution when turning or operating

under adverse surface conditions. Use care when reversing.

• Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

Wear Appropriate Clothing

MXAL41935—UN—18FEB13

• Always wear eye protection when operating the machine.

• Wear close tting clothing and safety equipment appropriate for the

job.

• While operating this machine, always wear substantial footwear and

long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing

open sandals.

• Wear a suitable protective device such as earplugs. Loud noise can

cause impairment or loss of hearing.

Driving Safely on Public Roads

MXAL42880—UN—26MAR13

Avoid personal injury or death resulting from a collision with another

vehicle on public roads:

• Use safety lights and devices. Slow moving machines when driven on

public roads are hard to see, especially at night.

• Whenever driving on public roads, use ashing warning lights and turn

signals according to local regulations. Extra ashing warning lights

may need to be installed.

Practice Safe Maintenance

MXAL41933—UN—18FEB13

• Only qualied, trained adults should service this machine. Understand

service procedure before doing work.

• Never operate machine in a closed area where dangerous carbon

monoxide fumes can collect.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, to be

sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation

regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris build-up. Clean up

oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-soaked debris. Allow the

machine to cool before storing.

• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine. Repair, if

necessary, before restarting.

• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Wait

for all movement to stop on machine before adjusting, cleaning or

repairing.

• Check grasscatcher components and the discharge guard frequently

and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when

necessary. Grasscatcher components are subject to wear, damage,

and deterioration which could expose moving parts or allow objects to

be thrown.

• Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use

extra care when servicing them. Only replace blades. Never straighten

or weld them.

• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.

• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause

other blades to rotate.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from any

moving parts, to prevent them from getting caught.

• Lower any attachments to the ground before cleaning or servicing

machine. Disengage all power and stop the engine. Lock park brake

and remove the key. Let machine cool.

• Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for

service work. Use jack stands or lock service latches to support

components when needed.

• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire (for gasoline engines)

before making any repairs. Disconnect negative terminal rst and

positive last. Install positive terminal rst and negative last.

• Before servicing machine or attachment, carefully release pressure

from any components with stored energy, such as hydraulic

components or springs.

• Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage

immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.

• Charge batteries in an open, well-ventilated area, away from sparks.

Unplug battery charger before connecting or disconnecting from the

battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.

• Do not strike the ywheel with a hammer or hard object because the

ywheel may later shatter during operation.

• If equipped with hydraulic lift - release hydraulic pressure by lowering

attachment or cutting units to the ground or to a mechanical stop and

move hydraulic control levers back and forth.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

MXAL41927—UN—18FEB13

• Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age,

and exposure. Check hoses and lines regularly. Replace damaged

hoses and lines.

• Hydraulic uid connections can loosen due to physical damage and

vibration. Check connections regularly. Tighten loose connections.

• Escaping uid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious

injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting

hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying

pressure.

• Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body

from high pressure uids.
