3. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine. Never assume children will remain where you last saw them.

Keep children out of the mowing area and in watchful care of an adult other than the operator.

To avoid back-over accidents, always disen- gage the cutting blades before shifting in reverse. The "PTO Reverse Overide Switch" should not be used when children or others are around.

Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.

Before and when backing, look behind and down for small children.

Never carry children, even with the blades off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

Never allow children under 14 years old to operate the machine. Children 14 years and over should only operate machine under close parental supervision and proper instruction.

Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure your vision of a child or other hazard.

Remove key when machine is unattended to prevent unauthorized operation.

4. OPERATING THE PTO

When operating PTO driven equipment, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and wait until the PTO stops before dismounting the tractor and disconnecting the equipment.

Do not wear loose fitting clothing when operating the PTO or when near rotating equipment.

To prevent injury, do not adjust, unclog, clean, or service PTO driven equipment while the tractor engine is running.

Make certain all PTO shields are always installed.

5. SAFETY FRAME (ROPS)

Your tractor is equipped with a rollover protective structure (ROPS) which must be maintained in a fully functional condition. Use care when driving through doorways or spaces with a low overhead.

Never modify the ROPS in any way.

Never attempt to straighten or reweld any part of the main frame or retaining brackets that have been damaged. Doing so may weaken the structure and endanger your safety.

Never secure any parts on the main frame or attach the safety frame with anything other than the special fasteners specified.

Never attach ropes, chains, or cables to the ROPS for pulling purposes.

Although the ROPS provides you the maximum protection possible, never take unnecessary risks.

6. SERVICE

Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Use only an approved container.

a.Use only an approved container.

b.Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.

c.Replace the fuel cap securely and wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine as it may cause a fire or explosion.

d.Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

e.Never refuel the machine indoors because fuel vapors will accumulate in the area.

f.Never store the fuel container or machine in- side where there is an open flame or spark, such as a gas hot water heater, space heat- er or furnace.

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin. If fluid is injected into the skin, seek immediate medical attention. Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a piece of cardboard or paper.

Never run a machine inside a closed area.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the tractor free of any debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.

Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blades and all moving parts have stopped.

Check the blade fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also visually inspect blades for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent, cracked). Replace with blades which meet original equipment specifications.
