Data indicates that operators, age 65 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.
Set the parking brake before attempting to start the tractor.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders, and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against
a wall or obstruction which may cause discharged material to ricochet back
toward the operator.
In case of a system fault or a complete loss of battery power, the tractor on a
hill can freewheel. Depress the brake pedal to maintain control and stop the
tractor. Restart the tractor. If the system fault problem persists, contact your
authorized service dealer.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck.
Contact with the blade(s) can amputate hands and feet.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain
could overturn the tractor. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under low hanging tree
branches, wires, door openings, etc., where the operator may be struck or
pulled from the tractor, which could result in serious injury.
Never leave a running tractor unattended. Always turn off blade(s), set the
parking brake, press Start/Stop button, and remove key before dismounting.
Turn off blade(s), set parking brake, press Start/Stop button and wait
until the blade(s) come to a complete stop before removing grass catcher,
emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing any grass or debris, or making
any adjustments.
Your tractor is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more
than 10" (25.4 cm). 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.
Turn off blade(s) before traveling in reverse. Back up slowly. Always look
down and behind before and while backing to avoid a back-over accident.
Never carry passengers.
Stay at least 10 feet (3 meters) from drop-offs, ditches, embankments, or
the edge of water. The tractor could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the
edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
A missing or damaged chute deflector, mulch plug, or entire grass catcher
can cause blade contact or thrown object injuries.
