Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes and a helmet is advisable and is required by some local ordinances and insurance regulations.

6.Operator hearing protection is recommended, particularly for continuous operation of the mower. Wear suitable hearing protection. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or loss.

7.Keep the machine and attachments in good operating condition. Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield, safety device or decal is defective or damaged, repair or replace it before operating the machine.

WARNING:

This machine is equipped with an interlock system intended to protect the operator and others from injury. This is accomplished by preventing the engine from starting unless the deck drive is disengaged, the parking brake is on, the steering control levers are in the neutral position and the operator is in the seat. The system shuts off the engine if the operator leaves the seat with the deck drive engaged and/or the steering control levers are not in the neutral postion and the parking brake is not engaged. Never operate equipment with the interlock system disconnected or malfunctioning.

8.Be sure the interlock switches are functioning correctly.

9.Fuel is flammable; handle it with care. Fill the fuel tank outdoors. Never fill it indoors. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spillage. Clean up any spillage before starting the engine.

10.DO NOT add fuel to a running or hot engine. Allow the engine to cool for several minutes before adding fuel.

11.Keep flammable objects (cigarettes, matches, etc.), open flames and sparks away from the fuel tank and fuel container.

12.Equipment must comply with the latest requirements per SAE J137 and/or ANSI/ASAE S279 when driven on public roads.

-NOTE-

If the mower is driven on public roads, it must comply with state and local ordinances as well as SAE J137 and/or ANSI / ASAE S279 requirements. Contact your local authorities for regulations and equipment requirements.

13.DO NOT operate without the side discharge chute installed and in the down position.

14.Check the blade mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

15.Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before starting the machine.

2.4 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS

1.Know the function of all controls and how to stop quickly.

2.Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Be especially cautious when changing directions on slopes.

WARNING:

DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If the machine can back up the slope without the wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED OPERATION.
