DANGER
Operating on slopes, or near water, or drop-offs can result
in loss of control and roll-over.
• Mow up and down slopes not across.
• Reduce speed and be careful on slopes.
• Do not operate on slopes over 10 degrees, which is a
3.5 foot rise over a 20 foot length.
• Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths of
clearance around water, retaining walls, or drop-offs.
• Avoid mowing wet grass.
• Do not operate machine under any condition where
traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires could
slide even if the wheels are stopped.
• Avoid starting and stopping on slopes.
• Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Make turns slowly and gradually.
• Be careful while operating machine with a grass catcher
or other attachment(s). They can affect the stability of
the machine.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
See Towed Equipment.
5. Make sure that the operating area is clear of bystanders,
especially children.
DANGER
This rider mower is capable of amputating hands and feet.
• Stop the mower when children or others are near.
• Keep children out of the operating area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not carry passengers, especially children, even
with the blade(s) shut off. Children can fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine
operation. Children who have been given rides in
the past can suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed over by the
machine.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that obscure vision.

complete stop in five seconds after the electric PTO switch
is turned OFF. If the mower drive belt does not stop in five
seconds, see an Authorized Service Dealer.
Test 5 — Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) Check
• The engine will shut off when reverse travel is attempted
with the Power Take Off (PTO) switched on and the

the machine and the mowing activity.
Engine
Check and Add Engine Oil
®
Use Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best
performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable
if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use
special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the correct oil viscosity for
the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected.
A SAE 30 - Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard
starting.
