EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES

zSafety of the operator and by standards is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a mower. However, every year accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.

zIn order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes neces- sary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.

zReplace any safety sign that is not readable or is missing. Location of such safety signs is indicated in this manual.
