    SAFETY TRAINING Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product. Unfortu- nately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper train- ing of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
  • Page 12 PREPARTION Never operate the tractor and mower until you have read and completely un- derstand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety messages found on the safety signs on the tractor and mower.
