Operating Safety
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is
misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous!
Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of
those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing.
If you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can
be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a
professional: contact your local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator's manual contains important safety information
you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as
well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product's
features and controls, and maintenance information is
included to help you get the most out of your equipment
investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information
found on the following pages. Also completely read the
Operation section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often
attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a risk
that children may enter the area where you are mowing, have
another responsible adult watch them.
Slope Operation
(6,0 m )
You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this
unit on too steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that
is too steep or where you don't have adequate footing or
traction can cause you to lose control or slip and fall.
You should not operate on inclines with a slope greater than
10 degrees, which is a 3.5 ft (1,5 m) rise over 20.0 ft (6,0 m).
Always mow across slopes, never up and down.
Also note that the surface you are mowing can greatly impact
control. Wet grass or leaves can seriously affect your footing
and traction on a slope.
If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don't
do it. It's not worth the risk.
Moving Parts
This equipment has moving parts that can injure you or
someone else. However, if you stand behind the handle
properly and follow all the rules in this book, the unit is safe to
operate.
The mower has a spinning mower blade that can amputate
hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the equipment
while it is running!
To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is
equipped with an operator present safety system. Do NOT
