Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Think Safety First
Please carefully read all of the safety instructions and
decals in the safety section. Knowing this information
could help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid
injury.
Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause ronovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or
drowning.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
* Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.
* Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
* Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
* Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
Controls
Become familiar with all of the controls (Fig. 3 and 4)
before you start the engine and operate the machine.
