OPERATION  Stop the mower, turn key to OFF position, and set the parking brake.  Lower the cutting deck to desired position.  Turn start key to ON position and release parking brake.  Raise blade engage knob to activate blades and mow as desired. DANGER: Stay at least two mowing widths (7 feet) away from any ditches, drop-offs, or water. Front caster wheels can rotate when mower is stopped, even with the brake applied, and cause the mower to go over the edge or into the water and result in death or serious personal injury. REVERSE MANEUVERING WARNING: Use caution when crossing over gravel paths or driveways. Before crossing, disengage the blades and raise the cutting deck to the highest position to minimize the possibility of ricochet. Drive slowly to avoid loss of traction and control. WARNING: Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing to make sure no children, bystanders, or pets enter the mowing area. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict death or serious injury. WARNING: Be especially careful before and when backing and turning around with the bagger kit installed, as it may limit visibility. Always look closely behind and down for small children, bystanders, and pets and move the mower slowly to prevent back over accidents that can cause death or serious personal injury. Fig. 14 When mowing is complete:  Stop mower on a flat, level surface by pulling the drive levers together to the neutral position. Do not stop the mower on a slope.  Push the blade engage knob down to turn blades off.  Place the drive levers in the open position.  Set the parking brake.  Turn the start key OFF.  Remove the start key if leaving the mower unattended, even if just for a brief period. WARNING: If the mower emits a beeping noise after you leave the seat, verify that the parking brake is set and the key has been removed. Failure to set the parking brake could cause the mower to move, and leaving the key could allow unauthorized use that could result in serious personal injury. WARNING: Do not attempt to change direction suddenly between forward and reverse while the mower is in motion. Always come to a complete stop before changing the mower direction to avoid loss of control and prevent death or serious personal injury. 19 - English

REVERSE MANEUVERING
OPERATION
Stop the mower, turn key to OFF position, and set the
parking brake.
Lower the cutting deck to desired position.
Turn start key to ON position and release parking brake.
Raise blade engage knob to activate blades and mow as
desired.
DANGER:
Stay at least two mowing widths (7 feet) away from any
ditches, drop-offs, or water. Front caster wheels can
rotate when mower is stopped, even with the brake ap-
plied, and cause the mower to go over the edge or into
the water and result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Use caution when crossing over gravel paths or drive-
ways. Before crossing, disengage the blades and raise
the cutting deck to the highest position to minimize the
possibility of ricochet. Drive slowly to avoid loss of trac-
tion and control.
WARNING:
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al-
ways look down and behind before and while backing to
make sure no children, bystanders, or pets enter the mow-
ing area. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Be especially careful before and when backing and turn-
ing around with the bagger kit installed, as it may limit
visibility. Always look closely behind and down for small
children, bystanders, and pets and move the mower
slowly to prevent back over accidents that can cause
death or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to change direction suddenly between
forward and reverse while the mower is in motion. Always
come to a complete stop before changing the mower
direction to avoid loss of control and prevent death or
serious personal injury.
When mowing is complete:
Stop mower on a flat, level surface by pulling the drive
levers together to the neutral position. Do not stop the
mower on a slope.
Push the blade engage knob down to turn blades off.
Place the drive levers in the open position.
Set the parking brake.
Turn the start key OFF.
Remove the start key if leaving the mower unattended,
even if just for a brief period.
WARNING:
If the mower emits a beeping noise after you leave the

been removed. Failure to set the parking brake could
cause the mower to move, and leaving the key could
allow unauthorized use that could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
