MXAL41928-UN-18FEB13

HELP PREVENT SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENTS:

• Rotating blades can cut off arms and legs, and throw objects. Failure to observe safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Keep hands, feet and clothing away from mower deck when engine is running.
• Be alert at all times, drive forward and in reverse carefully. People, especially children can move quickly into the mowing area before you know it.
• Before backing up, stop mower blades or attachments and look down and behind the machine carefully, especially for children.
• Do not mow in reverse.
• Shut off blades when you are not mowing.
• Park machine safely before leaving the operator’s station for any reason including emptying the grasscatchers or unplugging the chute.
• The mower blades should stop in approximately five seconds when the mower is disengaged. If you believe that your blades may not be stopping in that period of time, take your machine to your authorized dealer where they can safely check and service your machine.
