To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine, tractor

Do not use this machine on slopes greater than
15 degrees.
Select slow ground speed before driving onto
a slope. Use extra caution when operating on
slopes with a rear-mounted grass catcher.
Mow across the face of slopes, not up and
down, use caution when changing directions
and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.
WARNING
Do not load this zero-turn rider on a trailer or
truck using two separate ramps. Only use
a single ramp that is at least one foot wider
than the width of the rear wheels of this rider.
This rider has a zero turning radius and the
rear wheels could fall off the ramps, or the
rider could tip over injuring the operator or
