WARNING: In order to prevent ac- cidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making re- pairs, always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WARNING: Do not coast down a hill in neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and comply withspeci???cationsofthemanufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when towing. Operate only at the low- est possible speed when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

???Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before starting.

???Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

???Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.

???Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

???Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat- ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

???Never carry passengers.

???Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al- ways look down and behind before and while backing.

???Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Ma- terial may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blades when crossing gravel surfaces.

???Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, or other safety devices in place and working.

???Slow down before turning.

???Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.

???Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard.

???Operate machine only in daylight or good arti???cial light.

???Do not operate the machine while under the in???uence of alcohol or drugs.

???Watch for traf???c when operating near or crossing roadways.

???Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

???Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

???Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-re- lated injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

???Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.

???Keep machine free of grass , leaves or other debris build-up which can touch hot exhaust/engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves or other debris which can cause build-up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

???Mow up and down slopes, not across.

???Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

???Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

???Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction. Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

???Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

???Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.

???Use extra care while operating machine with grass catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine. Do no use on steep slopes.

???Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

???Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge caves in.

III. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

???Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

???Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.

???Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.

???Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.

???Never allow children to operate the machine.

???Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.

IV. TOWING

???Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

???Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

???Never allow children or others in or on towed equip- ment.

???On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

???Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

V. SERVICE

SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely ???ammable and the vapors are explosive.

???Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

???Use only approved gasoline container.

???Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

???Never fuel the machine indoors.

???Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open ???ame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

???Never ???ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle when ???lling.

???Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

???Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

???If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi- ately.

???Never over???ll fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.

GENERAL SERVICE

???Never operate machine in a closed are.

???Keep all nuts and bolts tight 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 oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel- soaked debris. Allow 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.

???Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's rec- ommended parts, when necessary.

???Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

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

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

???Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operat- ing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

???Never carry passengers.

???Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while back- ing.

???Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.

???Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

???Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.

???Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.

???Mow up and down slopes (15?? Max), not across.

???Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.

???Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

???Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

???If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift into reverse and back down slowly.

???Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

???Be sure mower is properly leveled for best mower performance. See your tractors owner's manual for instructions

TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING

OPERATION:

Follow the mower operation instructions in your tractor owner's manual.

When operating your grass catcher on a lawn where grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used, you are picking up thatch and debris that has accumulated for long periods of time. The amount collected and the total time of operation may be greater than you will experience with regular use of your grass catcher.

???Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.

???Select a gear low enough to give good mower cutting performance, good quality cut and good bagging performance.

NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of cut to suit your conditions.

???If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice. The ???rst time relatively high, the second time to desired height.

???Use left hand side of mower for trimming.

???Plastic trash bags can be inserted inside grass catcher containers for ease of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash bags when full:

a.Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the parking brake and stop the engine.

b.Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.

c.Remove one container at a time by grasping container handles and pulling toward the rear, off of the tube rails.

d.With the container resting on the ground, close and secure the top of the plastic lawn bag.

e.Tip the container on its side and slide the ???lled bag from the container.

f.Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges of the bag draped over upper lip of the container.

g.Repeat for other containers.

h.Reinstall containers making sure right container overlaps left container at center supports.

j.Close cover and secure latches over center support tubes.

???Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected under these conditions tend to be sticky and adhere to the walls of the ???ow path causing clogging.

???Your bagger is equipped with a full bagger indicator. Movement of the wheel increases as the bags ???ll. The wheel will be spinning fastest just before the bags ???ll completely. When the wheel stops, it indicates that the bags are full and the chutes have become clogged.

NOTE: To help prevent clogging of chutes, check/empty bags when the wheel is spinning fast. Experience will teach you the best time to empty the bags.

Care should be taken not to damage the parts and that the wheel spins freely at the beginning of each use.

???If the grass catcher fails to pick up cut grass or leaves, it is an indication that clogging has occurred in the system or that the grass catcher containers are full. Usually this is indicated by the stopped movement of the full bagger indicator.

a.Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage the parking brake and stop the engine.

-Raise seat. Unlatch and raise cover.

-Slide out containers and dispose of clippings .

-Replace containers, close cover, and latch.

b.Unlatch chutes and check for clogging.

-Remove all debris in chutes.

-Reassemble and latch chutes

c.Check to insure full bagger indicator has not become clogged.

-The air passage hole must be clear of debris. Gently insert a small twig or wire into passageway to clear.

CAUTION

???Do not operate mower with grass catcher partially installed.

???Disengage blades and stop engine before leaving tractor seat to empty containers, unclogging chutes, etc.

???Close cover before starting.

???Disengage mower when crossing driveways or gravel surfaces and other areas where thrown objects could be a hazard.

???Do not attempt to vacuum up cans or other potentially hazardous projectiles.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Always observe safety rules when performing any main- tenance.

???Before each use check for loose fasteners.

???Clean unit thoroughly after each use.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged blades.

???See BLADE CARE instructions in your tractor owner's manual.

CAUTION:BEFOREPERFORMINGANY

MAINTENANCE, SERVICE ORADJUST-

MENTS:

???Depress clutch brake pedal fully and set parking brake.

???Place gearshift/motion control lever in "NEUTRAL" position.

???Place clutch control in "DISENGAGED" position.

???Turn ignition key to "OFF" position.

???Make sure blades and all moving parts have completely stopped.

???Disconnect spark plug wire(s) from spark plug(s) and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.

CAUTION: Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary.

STORAGE

When grass catcher is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grass, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry place.

CAUTION: Do not leave grass in bagger containers. Emptycontainersaftereach use and before storing. Failure to do so may result in spontaneous combustion which could develop into a ???re.
