SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven- tion are dependent upon the awareness, con- cern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.

It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

TRAINING

„Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace- ment manuals and safety decals are available from your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com, or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319- 6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

„Data indicates that those operators age 60 years and above are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. Those operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury.

„If you do not understand any part of this manual and need assistance, see your dealer.

„Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

„Operators must be instructed in and be capable of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach- ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper instructions.

„Never allow children or untrained persons to operate equipment.

PREPARATION

„Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

„Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

„Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO spline groove.

„The safety interlock system was installed for your protection. Do not disconnect, disable, over- ride, or execute any action that would cause this system to malfunction. If malfunction occurs, stop all operation and contact dealer for repair.

„Remove accumulated debris from this equip- ment, power unit, and engine to avoid fire hazard.

„Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

„Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Safety Decals section for location.)

„Make sure shields and guards are properly installed and in good condition. Replace if damaged.

„Be sure either the discharge chute, mulching end cap, or complete vacuum attachment is installed and in good condition. Replace if dam- aged.

„Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.

„The machine is not intended for highway or street use.

„Do not mow on wet grass.

„While fueling, extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

„Never fuel the machine indoors.
