SAFETY Personal Safety Equipment 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. • 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 toe caps. • 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. • Use extra care while operating machine with grass catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine.

SAFETY
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.
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 toe caps.
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.
Use extra care while operating machine with
•
grass catchers or other attachments; they
can affect the stability of the machine.
