DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved container.

♦Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

♦Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.

♦When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.

♦If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

♦If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

1.4OPERATION

Although hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon the design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the equipment. It is essential that all Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating condition prior to use for mowing.

1.4.1Give complete, undivided attention to the job at hand.

1.4.2Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. NEVER carry passengers. DO NOT operate the mower when children or others are in the area.

1.4.3When feasible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.

1.4.4Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction and/or tipover could occur. Drive slower on slopes. DO NOT mow slopes greater than 15 degrees. Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises, which change the operating angle. Keep away from drop-offs and steep banks. Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill - mower may tip backwards. Loss of traction may occur going downhill - weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking. DO NOT mow slopes when grass is wet - slippery conditions affect steering and reduce traction and braking. The operator is responsible for safe operation on slopes. See inside back cover to determine the approximate slope angle of the area to be mowed.
