the
influence
of alcohol or drugs.
15. Watch for traffic when operating
near or crossing
roadways.
16. Use extra care when
loading
or unloading
the
machine
into a trailer or truck. This unit should not
be driven up or down a ramp onto a trailer or truck
under

on a ramp to load or unload
properly.
17. Never make a cutting height adjustment
while the
engine is running if the operator must dismount
to
do so.

work shoes and close-
fitting slacks and shirts. Do not wear loose fitting
clothes or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Never operate a unit in bare feet, sandals
or sneakers.
!9. Check overhead clearance carefully before driving
under power lines, wires, bridges or low hanging
tree
branches,
before
entering
or
leaving
buildings,
or in any other
situation
where
the
operator
may be struck or putled from the unit,
which could result in serious injury.
20. Disengage
all
attachment
clutches,
set
the
parking
brake in the on position,

21. Your mower 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.
Debris may
build up on the mower deck or contact the engine
exhaust
presenting
a potential fire hazard.
22. Use only accessories
approved
for this machine
by Cub Cadet. Read, understand
and follow all
instructions
provided
with
the
approved
accessory.

SLOPE OPERATIQN
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 it.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part
of this manual to measure slopes before operating this
unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater
than I5 ° as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate
this unit on that area or serious injury could result.
DO:
Mow across slopes, not up and down.
Keep all movement
on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes
in speed or direction.
Rapid acceleration
or deceleration
could cause the
front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over back-
wards, which could cause serious injury.
Avoid starting
or stopping
on a slope.
If the tires are
unable to maintain traction,
disengage
the blades and
proceed slowly and carefully straight
down the slope.
Do not mow the slope until able to maintain traction.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed so that
you will not have to stop while on the slope.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps.
Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations
for coun-
terweights
with attachments
to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass
catchers
or other attach-
ments. These can change the stability of the machine.
DO NOT:
Do not turn on slopes
unless
necessary; then turn
slowly and use extra care while turning.
Do not mow near drop-offs,
ditches or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not mow on wet grass.
Reduced
traction
could
cause sliding.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot
on the ground.
Do not use the grass catcher on steep slopes.
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.
1.
Keep children
out of the mowing
area and in
watchful care of an adult other than the operator.
2.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter
the area.
3.
4.
Before
and when
backing
up, took behind
and
down for small children.
Never carry children,
even with the blades
off.
They may fall off and be seriously
injured or may
interfere with safe machine
operation.
