Do not operate machine in confined areas without proper ventilation. 2. Thoroughly check area of operation before using machine. 3. The cab adds height to the machine. Low tree limbs and other overhead structures that did not interfere with the operation of the machine before, may now be obstacles.

IMPORTANT! The doors are a part of the cab structure. The cab doors should always be closed during use to

prevent damage to the cab frame. Cab was not designed for mowing applications. Remove cab when mowing. Failure to do so may void warranty.
