Before Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Never allow children or untrained people to operate or
service the machine. Local regulations may restrict the
age of the operator. The owner is responsible for training
all operators and mechanics.
•
Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment,
operator controls, and safety signs.
•
Know how to stop the machine and shut off the engine
quickly.
•
Check that operator-presence controls, safety switches,
and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not
operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.
•
Before mowing, always inspect the machine to ensure that
the blades, blade bolts, and cutting assemblies are in good
working condition. Replace worn or damaged blades and
bolts in sets to preserve balance.
•
Inspect the area where you will use the machine and
remove all objects that the machine could throw.
•
Evaluate the terrain to determine the appropriate
equipment and any attachments or accessories required to
operate the machine properly and safely.
Fuel Safety
•
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling fuel. Fuel vapors are flammable and
explosive.
•
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources
of ignition.
•
Use only an approved fuel container.
•
Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel to the fuel tank
while the engine is running or while hot.
•
Do not refuel the machine indoors.
•
Do not store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as on a water
heater or on other appliances.
•
Do not fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or
trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on
the ground, away from your vehicle before filling.
•
Remove the equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it while it is on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel from a portable container rather than a
fuel-dispenser nozzle.
