Cutting
• Never place any part of the body under the cutting blade shield.
• Always wear the protective footwear, long trousers, hardhat, safety glasses and
ear protection when operating or servicing the machine. Proper clothing will
minimize the chance of injury. Do not operate the equipment if you have long
hair, loose clothing, or jewelry; all of which may get tangled in moving parts. Do
not operate the machine barefoot or with the open sandals.
• Do not allow bystanders to come near the machine when cutting (mowing).
• The rotating cutting blades can throw stones or debris and cause injuries and
damages to nearby people, animals, crops, buildings, automobiles, etc. Pay
attention to the safety of surroundings and plan ahead when cutting.
• Never attempt to cut with the cutting blade shield open.
• When cutting, drive forward. The machine is intended to cut brush while moving
forward, and this best prevents stones and debris from being thrown.
• Turn the mower clutch to [ON] only when cuting. Keep it in [OFF] position all the
other times.
• Never attempt to cut brush on the edge of a ditch or bank. Shoulder of the ditch
or bank may collapse. Pay special attention after heavy rain or earthquake.
• Inspect the work site beforehand; inspect terrain and locate holes, drops, or
obstacles. Also inspect overhead obstacles such as the branches of a tree. Pay
special attention when working near these areas.
• Do not use this machine on an incline steeper than 25 degrees for the AWD
model or 15 degrees for the 2WD model.
