During Operation Safety

During Operation General Safety
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents that may cause personal
injury or property damage.
• Do not exceed the rated operating capacity, as the machine may become unstable,
which may result in loss of control.
• 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.
• Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that
causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
• Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Operate the machine only in good light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards.
• Ensure that all drives are in the Neutral position before starting the machine. Start the
machine only from the operating position.
• Keep your hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments
with the machine running.
• Do not jerk the controls; use a steady motion.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure your vision.
• Slow down and use caution when making turns and crossing roads and sidewalks with
the machine. Always yield the right of way.
• Never leave a running machine unattended.
• Operate the machine only in appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate the machine
when there is the risk of lightning.
• Be aware of obstacles in close proximity to you. Failure to maintain adequate distance
from trees, walls, and other barriers may result in injury as the machine backs up during
operation if you are not attentive to the surroundings.
• Check for overhead clearance (i.e., electrical wires, branches, and doorways) before
driving under any objects and do not contact them.
