SAFE OPERATION-2
ENGLISH
C Starting
1. Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine
or operating levers or controls.
2. Before starting the engine make sure that the motion
control levers are in neutral lock, the parking brake is
applied, and Power Take Off (PTO) is disengaged
(OFF).
3. Do not start engine by shorting across starter
terminals. The machine may start in gear and move if
normal starting circuitry is bypassed.
4. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area.
Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and
deadly.
C Working
1. Do not turn sharply when driving at high speed.
2. To avoid tip over, slow down when turning on uneven
terrain or before stopping.
3. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or
other terrain, which may collapse under the machine
weight. The risk of machine tip over increases when
the ground is loose or wet.
4. Park the machine on a firm and level surface.
5. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and
avoid obstacles. Be alert at curbs, near trees, and
other obstructions and hidden hazards.
6. Know what is behind you before backing up. Look to
the rear before and when backing. Do not mow while
in reverse unless absolutely necessary and make sure
the area immediately behind you is clear of
obstructions or holes and small children. Use extra
caution when machine is equipped with Grass
Catcher. Your view to the rear is restricted.
7. When working in groups, always let others know what
you are doing ahead of time.
8. Do not drive machine on streets or highways. Watch
for traffic when you cross roads or operate near roads.
9. Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not
point it at anyone.
10.When using any attachments, never direct discharge
material toward bystanders. Do not allow anyone near
the attachments while in operation.
Do not mow when bystanders are present in the
mowing area.
11.To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine exhaust area
free of grass or leaves.
12.Be sure rotating blades and engine are stopped and
the key is removed before placing hands or feet near
blades and cleaning blockages or unclogging chute.
13.Shut the engine off and wait for all movement to stop
before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute.
14.Always inspect the mower for damage after striking a
foreign object. Repair or replace any damaged parts
before restarting.
15.Operate during daylight or in bright artificial light.
16.When mowing for the first time, cut the grass higher
than desired.
This will uncover any unseen object that may damage
the mower or grass catcher.
17.Raise and dump collected leaves or grass clippings
ONLY while sitting on the operator's seat.
18.Empty the grass container ONLY from a firm and level
surface, with the mower stopped, and the unit
stationary. Dumping the grass container on soft or
uneven ground, or while moving, could cause the unit
to tip over, causing serious injury and extensive
equipment damage.
19.Make sure the dumping area is clear of all bystanders
and pets, before emptying grass clippings or leaves
from the grass container.
20.Be extremely alert for all other traffic when operating
the mower and grass catcher near public roads or
highways.
21.Stop the blades rotating before crossing surface other
than grass.
22.If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, disengage
the drive to the attachments, stop the engine and
remove the key. Then check the machine immediately.
23.With the grass container raised, do not run the
machine too fast, on slopes, nor make a sharp turn.
Otherwise the machine may turn over.
24.Keep hands away from the grass container, while
lowering it. Otherwise they may get caught.
C Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are attracted to the
machine and mowing activity.
Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
3. Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
4. Never carry children. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe machine
operation.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine, even
under adult supervision. Local regulation can restrict
the age of the operator.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other obstructions that might hide
children from sight.
7. Do not mow in reverse unless it is absolutely
necessary.
