Be sure that all auxiliary equipment switches (blades, power outlet, etc.) are in the
OFF position before attempting to start the engine.
Your Lastec Mower is equipped with a ROPS (Roll Over Protection System); be
sure to wear your seat belt.
Never operate with ROPS in the folded position.
Never permit any person other than the operator to ride or board the Lastec Mower
at any time. Never allow riders!
Never allow anyone near the Lastec Mower while operating. Be sure that the area
behind you is clear before operating in reverse!
Never permit people to stand or walk in the path of discharge.
Never direct/point/aim the discharge in the direction of bystanders, vehicles, or
buildings.
Do not stop or start suddenly when going up or down a hill. Do not operate on steep
slopes greater than or equal to 30 degrees pitch.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary - and then only after careful
observation of entire area behind the Lastec Mower.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on a hill-
side or over rough ground, and when operating close to ditches, fences, or water.
Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns to minimize potential tipping or loss of
control. Use caution when changing directions on slopes.
Be alert for holes in the terrain as well as any other hidden hazard. Always drive
slowly over rough ground.
Disengage the blades, stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key
before dismounting the Lastec Mower or making any adjustments.
Stop the Lastec Mower immediately upon striking any obstruction. Disengage the
blades, turn off the engine, set the parking brake, remove the key, and inspect the
Lastec Mower for any damage. Always repair any damage before resuming opera-
tion of the Lastec Mower.
Never adjust the mower deck height or lift the deck into transport position while the
blades are engaged.
Never place your hands or feet under the Lastec Mower while the engine is running.
