When operating the machine
This machine is not authorized for operation
as a special motor vehicle. Do not operate it
on public roads.
Make sure that the operator sits in the
operator
̉s seat when operating the machine.
Do not carry passengers.
Do not operate the engine in a confined space
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes
can collect.
Before attempting to start the engine,
disengage all attachments, shift into neutral,
and engage the parking brake.
Only operate in good light, keeping away from

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 traveling downhill.
Machine speeds should be kept low on
slopes and during tight turns.
Stay alert for humps and hollows and other
hidden hazards.
Never operate across the face of the slope,
unless the machine is designed for this
purpose.
Never drive the machine on a slope with an
angle of gradient that is greater than that
specified or in a place where there is a
danger of the machine slipping.
If instructed to do so in the Owner

Manual, use a counterbalance or wheel
balance.
Always keep a lookout for hidden hollows or
obstacles.
Do not take your eyes off the road ahead. Do
not operate the machine with no hands.
Slow down and use caution when making
turns and crossing roads and sidewalks.
