6.3 OPERATING PROCEDURE _______________________________________________
1. Under no circumstances must the engine be started without the operator seated on the machine.
2. Do not operate tractor or attachments with loose, damaged or missing components. Whenever possible
mow when grass is dry.
3. First mow in a test area to become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the tractor and controls.
4. Study the area to determine the best and safest operating procedure. Consider the height of the grass, type
of terrain, and condition of the surface. Each condition will require certain adjustments or precautions.
5. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine while in
operation. The owner/operator is responsible for injuries inflicted to bystanders and/or damage to
their property.
6. Use discretion when mowing near gravel areas (roadway, parking areas, cart paths, etc.). Stones
discharged from the implement may cause serious injuries to bystanders and / or damage the equipment.
