Manual, Owner/Operator Manual, and Engine Manual  
before beginning assembly. Failure to follow instructions  
could result in personal injury and/or damage to unit.  
Avoid sharp edges. Sharp edges can cut. Moving parts  
can cut off fingers or a hand.  
ALWAYS keep hands and feet away from all rotating  
parts during operation. Rotating parts can cut off body  
parts.  
ALWAYS remove key and wire from spark plugs on unit  
before assembly. Unintentional engine start up can cause  
death or serious injury.  
NEVER place your hands or any part of your body or  
clothing inside or near any moving part while unit is  
running.  
Sharp edges can cut. Movement of parts can cut off  
fingers or a hand. Wrap blade(s), wear sturdy gloves and  
use extreme caution when working near blades.  
ALWAYS disengage attachment, stop unit and engine,  
remove key and allow moving parts to stop before  
leaving operator’s position.  
Installing the blower assembly on your mower requires  
the removal of the discharge chute deflector and belt  
guard. Retain discharge chute, hinge pin, belt guard and  
belt guard hardware in a safe location and reinstall  
whenever operating unit without the blower assembly.  
DO NOT operate mower unless guards are in place or  
blower assembly and entire bagger are attached.

counterweights from front axle when bagger is removed  
from the unit.  
DO NOT operate unit with bagger unless front weight is  
installed.  
NEVER operate bagger if the unit’s safety interlock  
system is not working properly.  
Complete a walk around inspection of unit and work area  
to understand:  
Always be aware of maximum sweep of bagger when  
turning. Always allow adequate clearance between  
bagger, personnel and other objects when turning.  
• Work area • Your unit • All safety decals  
ALWAYS check overhead and side clearances carefully  
before operation. ALWAYS be aware of traffic when  
operating along streets or curbs.  
As grass catcher fills, be alert to changing unit stability  
and control.  
Keep children and people away. Keep children out of  
work area and under watchful care of a responsible adult.  
Disengage PTO when attachment is not in use.  
ALWAYS disengage PTO, stop unit and engine, remove  
key, engage parking brake and allow moving parts to stop  
before leaving operator’s position.  
NEVER allow children to operate or play on or near unit.

The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over  
the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.  
Avoid uneven and rough terrain. DO NOT operate near  
drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Unit can suddenly  
turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if

on the ground.  
Only trained adults may operate unit.  
Training includes actual operation.  
Know the weight of loads. Limit loads to those you can  
safely control and the unit can safely handle.

medication, drugs or alcohol. Safe operation requires  
your complete and unimpaired attention at all times.  
ALWAYS keep protective structures, guards and panels  
in good repair, in place and securely fastened.  
DO NOT operate in reverse unless absolutely necessary.  
ALWAYS look down and behind before and while  
backing.

ALWAYS allow adequate clearance for unit, attachments,  
operator and objects in work area when turning. Slow  
down before turning.  
Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage  
and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or  
allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components  
and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts,  
when necessary.  
NEVER carry passengers.  
If you cannot back up a slope or you feel uneasy on it, do  
not mow it.  
Mow up and down slopes, not across them.  
Keep all movements on the slope slow and gradual. DO  
NOT make sudden changes in speed or direction.  
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,  
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down  
the slope.  
DO NOT operate on slopes over 10°.  
DO NOT park on slopes unless absolutely necessary. If  
you must park on a slope, always chock or block wheels.  
Always set parking brake.  
Use a slow speed. Avoid changing speeds on slopes.  
Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes  
are functioning properly.  
Use extra care when loading or unloading unit on trailer  
or truck.  
Disengage PTO, stop engine, remove key and wait for all  
moving parts to stop before servicing, making repairs,  
adjusting or when clearing debris.  
ALWAYS block wheels. Know all jack stands are strong,  
secure and will hold weight of unit during maintenance.  
ALWAYS keep protective structures, guards, and panels  
in good repair, in place and securely fastened. NEVER  
modify or remove safety devices.  
Keep unit free of grass, leaves, or other debris. Clean up  
oil or fuel spills.
