SAFETY RULES
The following safety instructions are based on the
B71.1 specification of the American National
Standards Institute and ISO 5395 in effect at the
time of production.
Training
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual(s) before starting.
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders and
pets
before operating. Stop machine if
anyone enters the
area.
Improper use of power equipment can cause serious
permanent injury or death to the operator or a
bystander.
Understand:
•
How to operate all controls.
•
The functions of all controls.
•
How to STOP in an emergency.
•
Braking and steering characteristics.
•
Turning radius and clearances.
If the operator or the mechanic cannot read
the
manual, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain it to
them.
ALWAYS train any inexperienced operators and
require them to read and understand all manuals and
decals.
Only allow responsible adults, who are
familiar with
the instructions, to operate this machine.
Only the operator can prevent and is
responsible for
accidents or injuries
occurring to themselves, other
people or property.
Operator Age
DO NOT allow children under the age of 18
to
operate any outdoor power equipment.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
Data indicates operators age 60 years and
above
are involved in a large percentage of
mower-related
injuries.
These operators should evaluate their ability
to
operate the mower safely enough to
protect
themselves and others from serious
injury.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is
not alert
to the presence of children.
Children are often attracted to the machine
and the
mowing activity. NEVER assume that children will
remain where you last saw them.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
Before and while backing, look behind and down for
small children.
NEVER allow children to climb on the mower, even
with the blade(s) shut off. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe machine
operation. Children who have been allowed to ride
on it in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing
area for another ride and be run over or backed over
by the machine.
NEVER allow children to operate the machine.
Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may block your
view of a child.
