The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible
for accidents that may cause personal injury or
property damage.
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye
protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant
footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose
jewelry.
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Use your full attention while operating the
machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property
damage may occur.
Before you start the engine, ensure that all drives
are in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and
you are in the operating position.
Do not carry passengers on the machine and keep
bystanders and children out of the operating area.
Operate the machine only in good visibility to avoid
holes or hidden hazards.
Avoid mowing on wet grass. Reduced traction
could cause the machine to slide.
Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting
units.
Look behind and down before backing up to be
sure of a clear path.
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure your
vision.
Stop the cutting units whenever you are not
mowing.
Slow down and use caution when making turns
and crossing roads and sidewalks with the
machine. Always yield the right-of-way.
Operate the engine only in well-ventilated areas.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which
is lethal if inhaled.

Before you leave the operator's position, do the
following:
– Park the machine on a level surface.
– Disengage and lower the cutting units.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key.
