1. Ensure that all mounting and re-
moval of implements is done on
safe flat ground. Ensure no one
is between the Ride on lawn-
mower and implement and do not
get under the implement to avoid
accidental injuries.
2. After mounting the implement, en-
sure that all stabilizers are cor-
rectly adjusted and, where PTO
shafts are used that the shaft is
tted and secured correctly.
3. Where heavy implements are
used, ensure that the combina-
tion is well balanced or use prop-
er ballast to achieve balance.
4. Before leaving the Ride on lawn-
mower at any time, lower the im-
plement, stop the PTO shaft
where applicable, set the parking
brake and switch off the engine.
5. While operating the implements
with the PTO keep all bystanders
away from any moving parts and
MOUNTING AND REMOVING IMPLEMENTS
do not attempt to make adjust-
ments while the machine is run-
ning.
6. Only the driver should ride on
the Ride on lawnmower with the
ROPS frame fitted and with the
seat belt properly fastened.
7. Where young children are pres-
ent, particular care should be
taken and the Ride on lawnmow-
er should not be moved until the
whereabouts of all children is
known.
8. Only trained operators should op-
erate the Ride on lawnmower
and so taking care to ensure that
other workers are not injured. In
particular they should take care
during dusty operations, which
will reduce visibility substantially.
9. Never start the Ride on lawn-
mower unless the transmission
is out of gear, the operator is in
the seat and all round safety has
been checked.
10. Only operate the Ride on lawn-
mower seated in the drivers
seat and never turn or brake
suddenly at high speed as this
can cause a roll-over and seri-
ous injury or death.
11. When traveling on a public road
ensure that the Ride on lawn-
mower and driver both meet all
laws relating to safety and li-
censing. When traveling with
wide implements use red flags
on the extremities and observe
all legal including escort re-
quirements.
12. When operating under adverse
conditions, hilly terrain or on
bad ground adjust the speed of
the Ride on lawnmower to suit
the conditions, safety comes
first. Never drive down hill at
high speed or with the transmis-
sion in neutral. Use of the brak-
ing capacity of the engine as
well as the service brakes.
