The warning system in this manual identifies

potential hazards and has special safety messages that

help you and others avoid personal injury, even death.

DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal

words used to identify the level of hazard. However,

regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.

DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause

serious injury or death if the recommended

precautions are not followed.

WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious

injury or death if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or

moderate injury if the recommended precautions are

not followed.

Two other words are also used to highlight

information. “Important” calls attention to special

mechanical information and “Note” emphasizes

general information worthy of special attention.

The left and right side of the machine is determined

by sitting on the seat in the normal operator’s

position.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Contact with rotating mower blade(s) and

thrown debris will cause injury or death.

HOW TO AV

OID THE HAZARD

•

NEVER r

emove the discharge chute from

the mower because the discharge chute

routes material down toward the turf. If the

discharge chute is ever damaged, replace it

immediately.

•Never put your hands or feet under the

mower.

•Never try to clear discharge area or mower

blades unless you move the power take off

(PTO) to “OFF” and rotate the ignition key

to “OFF.” Also remove the ignition key and

The mower blades must be level from side to side.

Check the side-to-side level any time you install the

mower or when you see an uneven cut on your lawn.

Before you level the mower, set the air pressure in the

front and rear tires as specified in the tractor

operator’s manual.

2-3/4” to 4” Height-of-Cut Range

When the mower height-of-cut is set to the 2-3/4” to
