PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN

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.

1.KEEP children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.

2.DO NOT allow children in yard when machine is operated (even with the blade OFF).

3.DO NOT allow children or other passengers to ride on machine or on attachments (even with the blade OFF). They may fall and be seriously injured.

4.DO NOT allow pre-teenage children to operate machine.

5.ALLOW only responsible adults & teenagers with mature judgment under close adult supervision to operate machine.

6.BE SURE the area is clear of others before mowing and turn machine OFF if anyone enters the area.

7.DO NOT mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. LOOK BEHIND and down for small children before and when backing.

8.USE EXTRA CARE when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

PROTECTION AGAINST TIPOVERS

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. Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments; these can change the stability of the machine.

1.DO NOT operate machine on slopes exceeding 15 degrees (27% grade).

2.Exercise EXTREME CAUTION on slopes above 10 degrees (18% grade). Turn blade OFF when traveling uphill. Use first speed and avoid sudden or sharp turns.

3.DO NOT mow back and forth across face of slopes. Mow up and down.

4.AVOID uphill starts. If machine stops going uphill or tires lose traction, turn blade OFF and back slowly down the slope.

5.STAY ALERT for holes and other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Keep away from ditches, washouts, culverts, fences and protruding objects.

6.KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE (at least 3 feet) away from edge of ditches and other drop offs. The mower could turn over if an edge caves in.

7.Always begin forward motion in the #1 speed position.

8.Use weights or a weighted load carrier in accordance with instructions supplied with a grass catcher.

9.DO NOT put your foot on the ground to try to stabilize the machine.

10.DO NOT mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

11.DO NOT mow under any condition where traction, steering or stability is doubtful without first test driving over the terrain with blade OFF.

PREPARATION

1.Read this manual, get to know where all controls are located and practice how to use them before starting for the first time, and at the beginning of each season. Read and follow Warnings and Instructions on engine and machine. Read and follow operator’s manual and instructions furnished with attachments.

2.Only mature, responsible persons shall operate the machine and only after proper instruction.

3.Data indicates that operators age 60 and above, are involved in a large percentage of mower- related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.
