A careful operator is the best operator.
Accidents can be avoided by observing
certain safety precautions. Read and
understand these precautions before
operating the Mower. This equipment should
be operated only by those who have been
trained in its safe use.
THE MOWER
Know and understand all mower instructions and
Safety Precautions before assembly, service, or
operation. Also read and understand all Safety
Precautions in the Tractor Operator's Manual.
Keep the tractor and mower in good operating
condition at all times.
Always keep all shields and guards securely in
place.
Make sure all fastening hardware is properly
tightened before operating the tractor and
mower.
Keep all Safety Decals clean and free of dirt and
grime. Always replace any Safety Decals that
become damaged, lost, painted over, or
otherwise become illegible. Replace all Safety
Decals when repainting the mower.
MOWER OPERATION
NEVER operate the mower with the discharge
deflector in the raised position.
DO NOT permit anyone but the operator to ride
on the tractor or mower. There is no safe place
on this equipment for passengers.
Clear the area of people, pets, and all visible
debris before mowing.
Mow only during daylight hours, or when the
area is well lit artificially.
To avoid the possibility of injury from flying debris,
NEVER operate the mower raised into the
transport position.
Always keep mower discharge directed away
from people or animals, which could be injured,
and away from objects that could be damaged,
by debris thrown by the mowing blades.
Stop and inspect all parts of the mower after
striking any foreign object. Repair any damage
before resuming mowing operations.
Disengage power to the mower and make sure
the area behind the tractor and mower is clear
before backing up. Always slow down when
backing or turning.
The operator should NEVER leave the tractor
seat with the mower blades rotating, with the
tractor in motion, or when the tractor engine is
running.
Always be alert for vehicle traffic when crossing
or mowing near roadways. Avoid bystanders
when mowing on or near public facilities.
THE TRACTOR
Always use an approved Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) for safe operation. Overturning
a tractor, without a ROPS, can result in serious
injury or death. If your tractor is not equipped
with a ROPS, see your SHIBAURA Dealer.
NEVER allow an open flame near the fuel tank or
tractor battery.
