SAFETY INFORMATION
For your safety and the safety of others, pay special attention to these
precautions:
Operator Responsibility
Keep the lawn tractor in good operating condition. Operating a lawn
tractor that is in poor, or questionable condition could result in serious
injury.
Be sure all safety devices are in working order and that warning labels
are in place, these items are installed for your safety.
Know how to stop the engine and blades quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all controls.
Allowing anyone to operate this lawn tractor without proper instruction
may result in injury.
Allowing passengers to ride on the tractor or any of its attachments
may cause the tractor to tip over.
Wear sturdy, full coverage footwear. Operating this tractor with bare
feet, or with open toe shoes or sandals increases your risk of injury.
Dress sensibly. Loose clothing may get caught in moving parts, increas-
ing your risk of injury.
Be alert. Operating this lawn tractor when you are tired, ill or under the
influence of alcohol or drugs may result in serious injury.
Keep all persons and pets away from the mowing area.
Child Safety
Serious injury or death can occur if a child falls off the tractor or runs into
the tractor's path and is run over by the machine.
l
Allowing children to ride as passengers on the lawn tractor can be
dangerous.
l
Keep children indoors and supervised at all times when any outdoor
power equipment is being used nearby. Young children move quickly
and are attracted to the tractor and the mowing activity especially if
they have been given rides before.
l
Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
Be alert, and turn the mower off if children enter the area. Use extreme
care when backing up, and when approaching corners, shrubs, trees,
and other obstructions that might hide children from sight.
l
Children should never be allowed to operate the lawn tractor, even
under adult supervision.
