SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - continued
OM 0442MW-A 7
Mower Operation
1. Before leaving the tractor/mower
unattended, take all possible precautions.
Park the tractor/mower on level ground,
place the transmission in neutral, set the
parking brake, disengage the PTO, lower
the mower to the ground, place all levers
including auxiliary control levers in
neutral, shut off the engine and remove
the ignition key.
2. Only start engine from the operator’s
position. Use seat belts if provided.
3. Park machine safely before leaving the
operator station for any reason including
emptying the catchers or unplugging the
chute.
4. Be sure the PTO switch/lever is in
OFF/disengaged position before starting
engine.
5. Never allow anyone near the work area.
6. Never allow anyone to operate the mower
until they have read the manual
completely and are thoroughly familiar
with basic tractor and mower operation.
7. Do not carry passengers and keep pets
and bystanders away.
8. Be alert at all times, drive forward
carefully. People, especially children can
move quickly into the mowing area before
you know it
9. Look behind and down before backing up
to be sure of a clear path.
10. Do not operate the machine while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
11. Do not wear radio or music headphones.
Safe service and operation require your
full attention.
12. Test drive area with mower lowered but
not running. Slow down when you travel
over rough ground.
13. Never direct deflector discharge towards
people or animals. A thrown debris can
cause serious injury.
14. Never operate mower near glass enclosures,
automobiles, window wells, embankments, etc.,
without proper adjustment of lawn discharge
angle.
15. Never operate mower without guards, and other
safety protective devices in place. All tractor and
mower shields and covers must be correctly
installed at all times. When necessary to remove
these, they must be reinstalled immediately.
16. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
17. Do not operate machine on wet grass. Tires may
lose traction. Tires may lose traction on slopes
even though the brakes are functioning properly.
18. Slow down and exercise extreme caution when
making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks.
Stop blades if not mowing. Watch for traffic
when operating near or crossing roadways. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
19. Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-
control and tip-over accidents, which can result
in severe injury or death Slow down and use
extra care on hillsides. Be sure to travel in the
recommended direction on hillsides. For this
machine, drive up and down hillsides, not
across. Turf conditions can affect the machine’s
stability. Use caution while operating near drop-
offs.
20. Slow down and use caution when making turns
and when changing directions on slopes.
21. Choose a low ground speed so you will not have
to stop or shift while on a slope. Always keep the
machine in gear when going down slopes. Do
not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
22. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction, which could cause the machine to roll
over.
23. Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If
the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly, straight down the slope.
