13.
14.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
DO:
Do  not  operate   the  machine   while  under  the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
Mow across slopes, not up and down.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.
15.
16.
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing
roadways.
Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use  extra  care  when  loading  or  unloading  the
machine into a trailer or truck. This unit should not
be driven up or down a ramp onto a trailer or truck
under  power,  because   the  unit  could  tip  over
causing serious personal injury. The unit must be
pushed  manually  on  a  ramp  to  load  or  unload
properly.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed so that
you will not have to stop while on the slope.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for coun-
terweights with attachments to improve stability.
Use  extra  care  with  grass  catchers  or  other  attach-
ments. These can change the stability of the machine.
17.
18.
Never make a cutting height adjustment while the
engine is running if the operator must dismount to
do so.
Keep all movement on the slopes  slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Rapid  acceleration  or  deceleration  could  cause  the
front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over back-
wards, which could cause serious injury.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-
fitting slacks and shirts. Do not wear loose fitting
clothes or jewelry. They can be caught in moving
parts. Never operate a unit in bare feet, sandals
or  sneakers.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tires lose
traction,  disengage  the  blades  and  proceed  slowly
straight down the slope.
19.
Check overhead clearance carefully before driving
under power  lines, wires, bridges or low hanging
tree    branches,    before    entering    or   leaving
buildings,  or  in   any  other  situation   where  the
operator  may  be  struck  or  pulled  from  the  unit,
which could result in serious injury.
DO NOT:
Do  not turn  on  slopes  unless  necessary;  if  mowing
slopes, turn slowly and gradually uphill, if possible.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
20.
21.
Disengage   all   attachment    clutches,   set    the
parking brake in the on position, and put the lap
bars   to   the   neutral    or   out   position   before
attempting to start the engine.
Do  not mow  on  wet  grass.  Reduced  traction  could
cause sliding.
Your mower is designed to cut normal residential
grass  of  a   height  no  more   than  10”.  Do   not
attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass
(e.g. pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Debris may
build up on the mower deck or contact the engine
exhaust presenting a potential fire hazard.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot
on the ground.
Do not use the grass catcher on steep slopes.
III.  CHILDREN
22.
Use only accessories approved for this machine
by  Troy-Bilt.   Read,  understand   and  follow   all
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to   the  presence   of   children.   Children   are   often
attracted  to  the  machine  and  the  mowing  activity.
Never  assume  that  children  will  remain  where  you
last saw them.

II.   SLOPE OPERATION
1.
Keep  children  out  of  the   mowing  area  and  in
watchful care of an adult other than the operator.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot
back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not
mow it.
2.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children enter
the area.
3.   Before  and  when  backing  up,  look  behind  and
down for small children.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part
of this manual to measure slopes before operating this
unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than
15° as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this
unit on that area or serious injury could result.
4.   Never  carry  children,  even  with  the  blades  off.
They may fall off and be seriously injured or may
interfere with safe machine operation.
