SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR RIDE-ON MOWERS

DANGER !

THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand and follow all instruc- tions in the manual and on the machine before starting.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.

•Clear the area of objects such as rocks, stones, toys, wire etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

•Be sure the area is clear of all people and pets before mowing. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.

•Never carry passengers or children even with blades off.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

•Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not direct it towards anyone. Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or the guard in place.

•Slow down before turning.

•Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off theblades, set the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the key before leaving the machine.

•Turn off blades when not mowing.

•Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute.

•Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

•Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

•Watch out for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

•Use extra care when loading and unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.

•Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percent- age of riding mower-related injuries. These

operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

•Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris buildup that can touch hot exhaust/ engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to plow leaves or other debris that can cause buildup to occur. Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

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.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes (10° Max.), not across.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

•Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low speed so that you will not have to stop while on the slope.

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

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
