Safety
Safe
Operation Practices for
Ride-on (riding) Rotary
Lawnmower Machines
This machine meets or exceeds European
Standards in effect at the time of production.
However, improper use or maintenance by the
operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce
the potential for injury, comply with these safety
instructions and always pay attention to the safety
alert
symbol, which means CAUTION,
WARNING, or DANGER—“personal safety
instruction.” Failure to comply with the
instruction may result in personal injury or death.
Safe
Operating Practices
This product is capable of amputating hands and feet
and throwing objects. Always follow all safety
instructions to avoid serious injury or death.
Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to
other people or their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional
and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
• the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines;
• control of a ride-on machine sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the application
of the brake. The main reasons for loss of
control are:
insufficient wheel grip;
being driven too fast;
inadequate braking;
the type of machine is unsuitable for its
task;
lack of awareness of the effects of
ground conditions, especially slopes;
incorrect hitching and load distribution.
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the
equipment when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all objects
which may be thrown by the machine.
3. WARNING – Fuel is highly flammable.
• Store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refuelling.
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot.
Safety
3
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from
the are of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until petrol vapors have
dissipated.
• Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
4.
Replace faulty silencers.
5. Before using, always visually inspect to see that
the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are
not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged
blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.
6. On multi–bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect.
2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage
all blade attachment clutches and shift into
neutral.
4. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
• Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
• Limit loads to those you can safely control.
• Do not turn sharply. Use care when
reversing.
• Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights
when suggested in the instruction
handbook.
5. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near
roadways.
6. Stop the blades before crossing surfaces other
than grass.
7. When using any attachments, never direct
discharge of material toward bystanders nor
allow anyone near the machine while in
operation.
8. Never operate the lawnmower with damaged
guards or without safety protective devices in
place.
9. Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speeds may increase the hazard of
personal injury.
10. Before leaving the operator’
s position:
• disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments;
• change into neutral and set the parking
brake;
• stop the engine and remove the ignition and
“Key Choice” keys.
11. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine,
and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove
the ignition key
• before cleaning blockages or unclogging
chute;
• before checking, cleaning or working on the
lawnmower;
• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
lawnmower for damage and make repairs
before restarting and operating the
equipment;
• if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally
(check immediately).
12. Disengage drive to attachments when
transporting or not in use.
13. Stop the engine and disengage drive to
attachment
• before refuelling;
• before removing the grass catcher;
Safety
4
• before making height adjustment unless
adjustment can be made from the operator’s
position.
14. Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out
and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off
valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of
mowing.
Slope Operation
1. For operation on slopes:
• Never mow side hills over 5
• Never mow uphill over 10
• Never mow downhill over 15
2. Remember there is no such thing as a “safe”
slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular
care. To guard against overturning:
• do not stop or start suddenly when going up
or downhill;
•
engage clutch slowly
, always keep machine
in gear, especially when travelling
downhill;
• machine speeds should be kept low on
slopes and during tight turns;
• stay alert for bumps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
• never mow across the face of the slope,
unless the lawnmower is designed for this
purpose.
Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an
open flame or spark.
3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
4. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage
area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
6. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors.
8. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
9. When machine is to be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless a
positive mechanical lock is used.

Adding
Fuel
Use UNLEADED Regular Gasoline suitable for
automotive use (85 pump octane minimum). Leaded
regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular is
not available.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, or gasohol containing
more than 10% ethanol because the fuel
system could be damaged. Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
IMPORTANT: Never use fuel additives
containing methanol or ethanol.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• When fueling, under certain circumstances,
a static charge can develop, igniting the
gasoline.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you and others and cause property damage.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before
filling.
• Do not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the
loss of any static charge.
• When practical, r
emove gas–power
ed
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
• If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
Filling the Fuel Tank
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
lower the attachment lift, and turn the ignition
key to “STOP” to stop the engine. Remove the

2. Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the
cap. Use a funnel and add fuel until the fuel
level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 mm to 13 mm) below
the bottom of the filler neck. This space in the
tank allows for expansion of the fuel. When
filling the tank, make sure that the machine is on
a level surface so that adequate air space is
allowed. Do not fill the fuel tank completely.
3. Install the fuel tank cap securely. Wipe up any
gasoline that may have spilled.
Check
the Engine Oil Level
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake,
lower the attachment lift, and turn the ignition
key to “STOP” to stop the engine. Remove the

3. Clean around the oil dipstick (Fig. 4) so dirt
cannot fall into the dipstick hole and damage the
engine.
4. Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe the metal end
clean (Fig. 5).
5. Slide the oil dipstick fully into the tube. Pull the
dipstick out and look at the metal end. If the oil
level is near or below the “L” mark on the
dipstick, remove the filler cap and add oil only
to the “H” mark on the dipstick. (Refer to
Engine Oil, page 32, for the correct oil type and
viscosity to use in different temperature
conditions).
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the crankcase
