DANGER !  
THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OFAMPUTATING HANDSAND FEETAND THROWING OB-  
JECTS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERI-  
OUS INJURYOR DEATH.  
I. GENERAL OPERATION  
Read, understand and follow all instructions in  
the manual and on the machine before starting.  
Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other  
debris buildup which can touch hot exhaust/  
engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower  
deck to plow leaves or other debris which can  
cause buildup to occur. Clean any oil or fuel  
spillage before operating or storing the machine.  
Allow machine to cool before storage.  
Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar  
with the instructions, to operate the machine.  
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, stones,  
toys, wire etc., which could be picked up and  
thrown by the blades.  
Be sure the area is clear of all people and pets  
before mowing. Stop the machine if anyone  
enters the area.  
II. SLOPE OPERATION  
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.  
Never carry passengers or children even with  
blades off.  
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely  
necessary. Always look down and behind before  
and while backing.  
DO  
Mow up and down slopes (10° Max.), not across.  
Be aware of the mower discharge direction and  
do not direct it towards anyone. Do not operate  
the mower without either the entire grass bagger  
or the guard in place.  
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs,  
etc.  
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain  
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide  
obstacles.  
Slow down before turning.  
Never leave the machine unattended when the  
engine is running. Always turn off the blades, set  
the parking brake, stop the engine and remove  
the key before leaving the machine.  
Use slow speed. Choose a low speed so that  
you will not have to stop while on the slope.  
Use extra care with grass baggers or other  
attachments. These can change the stability of  
the machine.  
Turn off blades when not mowing.  
Stop engine before removing grass bagger or  
unclogging chute.  
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and  
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed  
or direction.  
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
Do not operate the machine while under the  
influence of alcohol or drugs.  
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose  
traction, disengage the blades and proceed  
slowly straight down the slope.  
Watch out for traffic when operating near or  
crossing roadways.  
Use extra care when loading and unloading the  
machine onto a trailer or truck.  
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and  
above, are involved in a large percentage of riding  
mower-related injuries. These operators should  
evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower  
safely enough to protect themselves and others  
from serious injury.  
DO NOT operate mower with grass bagger,  
unless the front weights are installed.

objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in  
severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses  
or eye shields while operating your mower or  
performing any adjustments or repairs. We  
recommend a wide vision safety mask over  
spectacles or standard safety glasses.  
Do not mow near drop-off, ditches, or embank-  
ments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a  
wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an  
edge caves in.

OPERATION  
TIPS FOR IMPROVED BAGGING  
OPERATION  
Follow the mower operation instructions in your mower  
operator’s manual.  
Avoid cutting wet grass or in the morning while  
the dew is still heavy. Grass clippings collected  
under these conditions tend to be sticky and  
adhere to the walls of the flow path causing  
clogging.  
When operating your grass bagger on a lawn where  
grass and leaf bagging equipment has not been used,  
you are picking up thatch and debris that has accumu-  
lated for long periods of time. The amount collected  
and the total time of operation may be greater than  
you will experience with regular use of your grass  
bagger.  
If the grass bagger fails to pick up cut grass or  
leaves, it is an indication that clogging has  
occurred in the system or that the grass bagger  
containers are full.  
Always run throttle at full speed when bagging.  
a. Disengage blades, place motion control levers  
in neutral position, engage parking brake and  
stop engine.  
Select a speed low enough to give good mower  
cutting performance, good quality cut and good  
bagging performance.  
-
-
Unlatch and raise cover.  
Slide out containers and dispose of  
clippings.  
NOTE: It may be necessary to overlap width of  
cut to suit your conditions.  
-
Replace containers, close cover, and  
latch.  
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed  
twice. The first time relatively high, the second  
time to desired height.  
b. Check for clogging.  
-
-
Remove all debris in chute.  
Use left hand side of mower for trimming.  
Reassemble chutes.  
Plastic trash bags (3.0 mil, 30 gallon) can be  
inserted inside grass bagger containers for ease  
of debris disposal. To remove the plastic trash  
bags when full:  
a. Disengage blades, shift into neutral, engage  
the parking brake and stop the engine.  
b. Unlatch and raise cover.  
c. Remove one container at a time by grasping  
container handles and pulling toward the rear,  
off of the tube rails.  
d. With the container resting on the ground,  
close and secure the top of the plastic lawn  
bag.  
e. Tip the container on its side and slide the  
filled bag from the container.  
CAUTION  
f. Install a new plastic lawn bag with the edges  
of the bag draped over upper lip of the Con-  
tainer (for replacement bags refer to RE-  
PLACEMENT PARTS).  
• DO NOT operate mower with grass bagger  
partially installed.  
• Disengage blades and stop engine before  
leaving mower seat to empty containers,  
unclogging chutes, etc.  
g. Repeat for other containers.  
h. Reinstall containers making sure right  
container overlaps left container at center  
supports.  
• Close cover before starting.  
• Disengage mower blades when crossing  
driveways or gravel surfaces and other  
areas where thrown objects could be a  
hazard.  
i. Close cover and secure latches over center  
support tubes.  
• DO NOT attempt to vacuum up cans or other  
potentially hazardous projectiles.
