Your tractor is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more
than 10". Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass (e.g.,
pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Dry grass or leaves may contact hot surfaces
and/or build up on the tractor deck presenting a potential fire hazard.
30.
Use only accessories and attachments approved for this tractor by the tractor
manufacturer. Read, understand and follow all instructions provided with
the approved accessory or attachment.
31.
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large
percentage of tractor-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their
ability to operate the tractor safely enough to protect themselves and others
from serious injury.
32.
If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good
judgment. Contact your customer service representative for assistance.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents which can
result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back
up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow or drive on it.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure
slopes before operating this tractor on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater
than 12 degrees as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this tractor on that
area or serious injury could result.
Do:
1.
Set the parking brake when sitting on an incline with the power key off.
2.
Mow up and down slopes, not across. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
3.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain
could overturn the tractor. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
4.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed setting so that you will not have
to stop while on the slope. Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the
brakes are functioning properly. This tractor uses regenerative braking on
the drive motor to help slow it down.
5.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights to
improve stability.
6.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change
the stability of the tractor.
7.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden
changes in speed or direction. Rapid engagement or braking could cause the
front of the tractor to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could cause
serious injury.
8.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, turn off the blade(s) and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Do Not:
1.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually
downhill, if possible.
2.
Do not turn the power key off on an incline without setting the parking
brake.
3.
Do not mow or drive near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The tractor
could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an
edge caves in.
4.
Do not try to stabilize the tractor by putting your foot on the ground.
5.
Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
6.
Do not mow or drive on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.
7.
Do not press the Start/Stop button and coast downhill. Over-speeding may
cause the operator to lose control of the tractor resulting in serious injury or
death.

Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e.g. loaded dump cart, lawn
roller, etc.) on slopes greater than 5 degrees. When going down hill, the
extra weight tends to push the tractor and may cause you to loose control
(e.g. tractor may speed up, braking and steering ability are reduced,
attachment may jack-knife and cause tractor to overturn).
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of
children. Children are often attracted to the tractor and the mowing activity.
They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
a.
Keep children out of the mowing area and in watchful care of a
responsible adult other than the operator.
b.
Be alert and turn tractor off if a child enters the area.
c.
Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.
d.
Never carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off. They may fall off and
be seriously injured or interfere with safe tractor operation.
e.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may block your vision of a child
who may run into the path of the tractor.
f.
To avoid back-over accidents, always turn off the cutting blade(s)
before traveling in Reverse. If equipped, the "Reverse Caution Mode"
should not be used when children or others are around.
g.
Remove key when tractor is unattended to prevent unauthorized
operation.
Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this tractor. Children
14 and over should read and understand the instructions and safe operation
practices in this manual and on the tractor and should be trained and
supervised by an adult.
Tow only with a tractor that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed
equipment except at the hitch point.
Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight limits for towed
equipment and towing on slopes.
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and
loss of control.
The maximum tongue weight on the hitch is 50 lbs. and the maximum
towed weight is 250 lbs.
Always use extra caution when towing with a tractor capable of making
tight turns (e.g. "zero-turn" ride-on tractor). Make wide turns to avoid
jack-knifing.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
Do not press the Start/Stop button and coast downhill.
Remove key and store tractor indoors when not in use. Allow motors to cool
before storing in any enclosure. Tractor should be stored indoors in a dry
place, out of reach of children.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery.
Do not use the charger in the rain.
Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade(s) and all
moving parts have stopped.
