Operating Safety

 

 

 

Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn

 

 

 

and garden equipment. Our products are designed and manufac-

 

 

 

tured to meet or exceed all industry standards for safety.

 

 

 

Do not operate this machine unless you have familiarized yourself

 

 

 

with it. Reading and understanding this operator’s manual is a

 

 

 

way to do just that.

 

 

 

Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused,

 

 

 

or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you

 

 

 

are responsible for your safety and that of those around you.

 

 

 

Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you

 

 

 

are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely

 

 

 

done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional:

 

 

 

contact your local authorized dealer.

Read the Manual

 

 

 

 

The operator’s manual contains important safety infor-

 

mation you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate

 

your unit as well as DURING operation.

Reproduction

Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the prod-

orf

uct’s features and controls, and maintenance informa-

tion is included to help you get the most out of your

 

equipment investment.

m-

Information found on the following pages. Also c

 

pletely read the Operation section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Children

 

 

 

 

Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do

 

 

 

 

not allow them anywhere near the area of

 

 

 

 

operation. Children are often attracted to the

 

 

 

 

unit and mowing activity. Never assume that

 

 

 

 

children will remain where you last saw them.

 

 

 

 

If there is a risk that children may enter the

 

 

 

 

area where you are mowing, have another

 

 

 

 

responsible adult watch them.
