SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Use Continued…

Remember:

The operator is responsible for

avoiding dangers or accidents.

WARNING

When using the machine,

approved personal

protective equipment shall

be used. Personal

protective equipment

cannot eliminate the risk of

injury, but it will reduce the

degree of injury if an

accident does occur. Ask

your retailer for help in

choosing the right

equipment.

Slope Operation

Remove obstacles such as stones, tree branches, etc.

Mow up and down, not side to side. Never drive the rider on terrain that slopes

more than 10 degrees.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tires begin to slip, shut down the

blades and drive slowly down the slope.

Always drive evenly and slowly on slopes.

Make no sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if it proves necessary, turn slowly and

gradually downward, if possible.

Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. On uneven terrain, the machine can tip more

easily. Long grass can hide obstacles.

Drive slowly and use small movements of the steering controls.

Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and the tires can loose their grip, so that

the machine slides.

Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a foot on the ground.

Remember

The operator is responsible

for avoiding dangers or

accidents.

Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on guard for children in

the area of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and

mowing work. Never assume that children will stay put where you last saw

them.

Keep children away from the mowing area and under close supervision

by another adult.

Shut off the machine if children enter the work area.

Never allow a child to ride with you.

Never allow children to operate the machine.

Be extra cautious near corners, bushes, trees, or other objects that

block your view.

MOWING SAFETY

•WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable.

- store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose;

- refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling;

- add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine

is running or when the engine is hot.

- if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and

avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated;

- replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.

•Replace faulty silencers;

•before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn

or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance;

•on multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

•Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition;

•never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame or

spark;

•allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure;

•to reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass,

leaves, or excessive grease;

•check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration;

•replace worn or damaged parts for safety;

•if the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

•when machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical

lock is used.

TRAINING

All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should emphasize:

•the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines;

•control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake. The main

reason for loss of control are:

i) insufficient wheel grip;

ii) being driven too fast;

iii) inadequate braking;

iv) the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;

v) lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes;

vi) incorrect hitching and load distribution.

OPERATION

•Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect;

•when using any attachments, never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone

near the machine while in operation;

•never operate the machine with defective guards, or without safety protective devices in place;

•do not change the engine governor settings or over speed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive

speed can increase the hazard of personal injury;

•disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the

ignition key:

- before clearing blockages or unclogging chute;

- before checking, clearing or working on the machine;

- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine for damage and make repairs before restarting and

operating the equipment;

- if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately);

•stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment:

- before refueling;

- before removing the grass catcher;

- before making height adjustment unless adjustment can be made from the operator’s position

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

Operator Presence System

Be sure the operator presence and interlock systems are working properly. If your mower does not function as
