SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal Safety Equipment
• Make sure that you have first aid equipment
close at hand when using the machine.
• Never use the machine when barefoot.
Always wear protective shoes or boots,
preferably with steel toecaps.
• Always wear approved protective glasses
or a full visor when assembling or driving.
• Always wear gloves when handling the
blades.
• Never wear loose clothing that can get caught
in moving parts.
• Use ear protectors to avoid damage to
hearing.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of
control and tip-over accidents, which can
result in severe injury or death. Operation on
all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot
back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it,
do not mow it.
• Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees
maximum), not across.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
• Choose a low ground speed so that you
will not have to stop while on the slope.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose
traction.
• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a
slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage
the blades and proceed slowly straight
down the slope.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow
and gradual. Do not make sudden
changes in speed or direction, which
could cause the machine to roll over.
WARNING!
When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment (shown in
illustrations) shall be used. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate
the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does
happen. Ask your retailer for help in choosing the right equipment.
