Personal Safety Equipment
WARNING!
When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment (shown in
illustrations) shall be used. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of
injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your retailer
for help in choosing the right equipment.
•
Make sure that you have first aid equipment
close at hand when using the machine.
•
Never use the machine when barefoot.
•
Always wear protective shoes or boots,
preferably with steel toe caps.
•
Always wear approved protective glasses or a
full visor when assembling or driving.
•
Always wear gloves when handling the blades.
•
Never wear loose clothing that can get caught
in moving parts.
•
Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires
extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if
you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
•
Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees
maximum), not across.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not
have to stop while on the slope.
•
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose
traction.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If
the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
•
Keep movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed
or direction, which could cause machine to roll
over.
•
Use extra care while operating machine with
grass catchers or other attachments; they can
affect the stability of the machine.
•
Do not use on steep slopes.
•
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a
foot on the ground.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge
caves in.
