Safety Rules & Information Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed. GENERAL WARNINGS • Know the unit’s controls and how to stop quickly. READ THE OPERATOR’S MANUALS. • Read and obey all safety decals.
General Operating Instructions Before Operation Clear the lawn of all sticks, stones, wire and other debris which may be caught or thrown by the mower blades. Check grass condition. If wet, wait until later in the day. If grass is wet, the grass catcher is likely to become plugged. For efficient bagging, air circulation under the mower deck, through the chute and into the bag is very important.
