Before operating this tractor for the first time, the owner

become accustomed to the unit. The left side of the
mower can be used to trim close to objects. Be sure to
read all information in the Safety and Operation sections
before attempting to operate this tractor and mower.

until mower is completely installed or removed
and operator is seated.
