Operation in General

tractor operator's seat, which could result in serious injury or death.

4. Always wear protective goggles with side shields or safety goggles during operation.

thrown away by the mower blades.
An object thrown by the mower deck can be thrown in any direction and can cause injury to the operator or
bystanders. If you want to avoid injury, make sure that the persons in the vicinity, children and pets are at
least 25 meters from the tractor during operation. If a person enters the safety zone, stop the operation.
