Roll Over Protection System - Scag Power Equipment STT52V-27CH Operator's Manual

Section 2
2.5 ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM
WARNING:
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked
position and the seat belt securely fastened
during operation. Failure to do so could
cause serious injury or loss of life.
This mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions. However,
caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially
when the grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet
grass reduces traction and steering control.
Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST
NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could
result in injury or death.
WARNING:
There is no roll-over protection when the roll bar is
in the down position.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
DO NOT wear the seat belt when the roll bar is
in the down position.
ALWAYS wear seat belt when roll bar is in the
up position.
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns,
starts or stops.
Check the area carefully before mowing for proper
overhead clearance (i.e. branches, doorways, etc.).
DO NOT contact any overhead object with the roll
bar.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary.
