Safety
DANGER
WARNING
In certain conditions diesel is extremely
flammable and vapors are explosive.
Diesel fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors has caused
cancer in laboratory animals. Failure to use
caution may cause serious injury or illness.
A fire or explosion from diesel can burn you,
others, and cause property damage.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors in an open
area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up
any diesel that spills.
• Keep face away from nozzle and diesel
tank/container opening.
• Keep away from eyes and skin.
• Never siphon by mouth.
• Never refill the fuel tank or drain the
machine indoors or inside an enclosed
trailer.
• Do Not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add diesel to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6–13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows diesel to expand.
• Check that the operator’s presence controls,
safety switches, and shields are attached and
functioning properly. Do Not operate unless they
are functioning properly.
Operation
• Never smoke when handling diesel, and
stay away from an open flame or where
diesel fumes may be ignited by spark.
WARNING
• Store diesel in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
Operating engine parts, especially the
muffler, become extremely hot. Severe burns
can occur on contact and debris, such as
leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
• Add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or
add fuel when engine is running or when
the engine is hot.
• Allow engine parts, especially the muffler,
to cool before touching.
• If fuel is spilled, Do Not attempt to start
the engine. Move away from the area of
the spill and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
• Remove accumulated debris from muffler
and engine area.
• Install and maintain in working order a
spark arrester before using equipment
on forest-covered, grass-covered, or
brush-covered unimproved land.
• Do Not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless deadly poison that can
kill you.
Do Not run engine indoors or in a small
confined area where dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes can collect.

• Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking brake
is engaged before starting engine. Use seat belts.
• Stop the blades, slow down, and use caution when
crossing surfaces other than grass and when
transporting the mower to and from the area to
be mowed.
• Never operate the mower with damaged guards,
shields, or covers. Always have safety shields,
guards, switches and other devices in place and in
proper working condition.
• Be aware of the mower discharge path and direct
discharge away from others.
• Never mow with the discharge deflector raised,
removed or altered unless there is a grass
collection system or mulch kit in place and
working properly.
• Do Not operate the mower under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
• Use extreme care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
• Do Not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.

Safety
• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips and rises that
change the operating angle, as rough terrain could
overturn the machine.
DANGER
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can
cause sliding and loss of control. Wheels
dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks, or
water can cause rollovers, which may result
in serious injury, death or drowning.
• Avoid sudden stops when mowing downhill
because the mower may tip forwards.
• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
uphill. Weight transfer to the rear wheels may
cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of
braking and steering.
• Do Not mow slopes when grass is wet.
• Do Not mow near drop-offs or near water.
• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a
slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly off the slope.
• Do Not mow slopes greater than 15
degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution
on slopes.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
wheel weights or counter weights to improve
stability.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed
changes.
• Use extreme care with grass catchers or
attachments. These can change the stability of the
machine and cause loss of control.
• See inside the back cover to determine the
approximate slope angle of the area to be mowed.
• Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer
near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water.
Using the Rollover Protection System
(ROPS)
A Rollover Protection System (roll bar) is installed
on the unit.
WARNING
There is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is down. Wheels dropping over edges,
ditches, steep banks, or water can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death or drowning.
• Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked
position and use seat belt.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
Figure 3
• Do Not wear seat belt when the roll bar
is down.

The buzzer is a warning signal that the engine
is overheating or the oil pressure is low. See the
Troubleshooting section.
Pre-Start
Fill fuel tank. For best results use only clean, fresh
diesel fuel, with a cetane rating of 40 higher
Note: Do Not use kerosene or gasoline instead
of diesel fuel. Failure to observe this caution will
damage the engine.
Do Not add oil to fuel.
Do Not overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so
that the fuel level rises above a level that is 1/2 inch
(13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck to allow
for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.

Operation
near a slope, position the trailer or truck so it is on
the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up
the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The
trailer or truck should be as level as possible.
CAUTION
This unit does not have proper turn
signals, lights, reflective markings, or a
slow moving vehicle emblem. Driving on a
street or roadway without such equipment
is dangerous and can lead to accidents
causing personal injury. Driving on a street
or roadway without such equipment may also
be a violation of State laws and the operator
may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.
Important: Do Not attempt to turn the unit
while on the ramp, you may lose control and
drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving on a ramp.
Do Not drive a unit on a public street or
roadway.
WARNING
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of tip-over. Tip-over could
cause serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a
unit on a ramp.
• Use only a single, full width ramp; Do
Not use individual ramps for each side
of the unit.
• If individual ramps must be used, use
enough ramps to create an unbroken
ramp surface wider than the unit.
• Do Not exceed a 15° angle between ramp
and ground or between ramp and trailer
or truck.
• Avoid sudden acceleration while driving
unit on a ramp.
Loading a Unit
Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers
or trucks. One full width ramp is required. If it is
not possible to use one full width ramp, use enough
individual ramps to simulate a full width continuous
ramp.
Ramp should be long enough so that the angles
between the ramp and the ground and the ramp and
the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper angle
may cause mower deck components to get caught as
the unit moves from ramp to trailer or truck. Steeper
angles may also cause the unit to tip. If loading on or
