Operator Safety
SAFETY Operator Training Required
Read the Operator’s Manual and other training
material. If the operator or mechanic cannot read English, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to them. This publication is available in other languages.
Become familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
All operators and mechanics should be trained.
The owner of the machine is responsible for train­ing the users.
Never let children or untrained people operate or
service the equipment. Local regulations may re­strict the age of the operator.
The owner/user can prevent and is responsible
for accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, other people, or property.
Train operators on the machine in an open, unob-
structed area under the direction of an experi­enced operator.
Check that the operator’s presence controls,
safety switches and shields are attached and functioning properly. DO NOT operate unless they are functioning properly.
Operating Safely
NEVER run an engine in an enclosed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Only operate in good light, keeping away from
holes and hidden hazards.
Be sure all drives are in NEUTRAL and parking
brake is ENGAGED before starting engine. Only start engine from the operator’s position.
Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Be
sure to travel in the recommended direction on hillsides. For this machine, drive across hillsides, not up and down. Turf conditions can affect the machine’s stability. Use caution while operating near drop-offs. DO NOT operate machine within 5 feet of an embankment or drop-off.
Slow down and use caution when making turns
and when changing directions on slopes.
Preparation

Operator Safety
Rotating Impeller is Dangerous
WARNING
Rotating impeller can cut off arms and legs, and throw objects. Failure to observe safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from blow-
er housing when engine is running.
Be alert at all times, drive forward carefully. Peo-
ple, especially children can move quickly into the working area before you know it.
Protect Children
Death or serious injury can occur when young
children associate having fun with a lawn equip­ment simply because someone has given them a ride on a machine.
Children are attracted to lawn equipment and ac-
tivities. They don’t understand the dangers or the fact that the operator is unaware of their pres­ence.
Children who have been given rides in the past
may suddenly appear in the work area for anoth­er ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.
Tragic accidents with children can occur if the op-
erator is not alert to the presence of children, es­pecially when a child approaches a machine from behind. Before and while backing up, look down and behind the machine carefully, espe­cially for children.
NEVER carry children on a machine or attach-
ment. Do not tow children in a cart or trailer. They can fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
Never use the machine as a recreational vehicle
or to entertain children.
Never allow children or an untrained person to
operate the machine. Instruct all operators not to give children a ride on the machine or in an at­tachment.
Keep children indoors, out of the work area, and
in the watchful eye of a responsible adult, other than the operator, when a machine is being oper­ated.
Stay alert to the presence of children. Never as-
sume that children will remain where you last saw them. Turn the machine OFF if a child enters the work area.
Avoid Tipping
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-con-
trol and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes
requires extra caution.
Blow across slopes, not up and down.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hid-
den objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Choose a low ground speed so you will not have
to stop while on a slope.
Do not blow or operate machine on wet grass.
Tires may lose traction.
Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the
brakes are functioning properly.
Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If
the tires lose traction, turn and proceed slowly, straight down the slope.
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direc­tion, which could cause the machine to roll over.
Use extra care while operating machine with at-
tachments, they can affect stability of the ma­chine. Do not use on steep slopes.
Do not blow near drop-offs, ditches, embank-
ments, or bodies of water. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in.
Follow the manufacturer ’s recommendations for
wheel weights or counterweights for added stabil­ity when operating on slopes or using front or rear mounted attachments. Remove weights when not required.
Drive machine very slowly and avoid quick stops.

Operator Safety
Keep Riders Off
Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep
riders off.
Riders on the machine or attachment may be
struck by foreign objects or thrown off the ma­chine causing serious injury.
Riders obstruct the operator ’s view resulting in
the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical
damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses and lines regularly . Replace damaged hoses and lines.
Hydraulic fl uid connections can loosen due to
physical damage and vibration. Check connec­tions regularly. Tighten loose connections.
Escaping fl uid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before ap­plying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Pro-
tect hands and body from high pressure fl uids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately.
Any fl uid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may re­sult. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.
Checking Wheel Hardware
Wear Appropriate Clothing
Always wear safety goggles, or safety glasses
with side shields, and a hard hat when operating the machine.
Wear close fi tting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate for the job.
While blowing, always wear substantial footwear
and long trousers. DO NOT operate the equip- ment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
Wear a suitable hearing protection device such
as earplugs. Loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.
Maintenance and Storage
NEVER operate machine in a closed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Disengage drives, engage parking brake, stop
engine and remove key or disconnect spark plug (for gas engines). Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
Clean all debris from machine, drives, muffl ers,
and engine to help prevent fi res. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
Let engine cool before storing and do not store
near fl ame.
Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not
store fuel near fl ames or drain indoors.
Park machine on level ground. Never allow un-
trained personnel to service machine. Under­stand service procedure before doing work.
An accident could occur causing serious injury if
wheel hardware is not fastened.
Check wheel hardware tightness often during the
rst 100 hours of operation. Torque to 75 ft-lbs.
Wheel hardware must be tightened to specifi ed
torque using the proper procedure anytime it is loosened.
Use jack stands or lock service latches to support
components when required. Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.
Before servicing machine or attachment, care-
fully release pressure from any components with stored energy, such as hydraulic components or springs.
Release hydraulic pressure by moving hydraulic
control levers back and forth with the engine OFF .

Operator Safety
Disconnect battery or remove spark plugs (for
gas engines) before making any repairs. Discon­nect the negative terminal fi rst and the positive last. Reconnect positive fi rst and negative last.
Use care when checking impeller. Wear gloves,
and use caution when servicing them. Only RE­PLACE impeller. Never attempt to straighten or weld them.
Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and long hair
away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running.
Charge battery in an open well ventilated area,
away from spark and fl ames. Unplug charger be- fore connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.
Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware tightened. Replace all worn or dam­aged decals.
Keep all nuts and bolts tightened securely, espe-
cially impeller attachment bolts, to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Check brake operation frequently.
Prevent Fires
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. DO
NOT in ate the tires above the recommended
pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When infl ating tires, use a clip-on chuck and ex-
tension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire as­sembly.
Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam-
aged rims or missing studs and nuts.
Handling Fuel Safely To avoid personal injury or property damage, use ex-
treme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely am-
mable and fuel vapors are explosive:
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
Use only an approved fuel container. Use only
non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the Ameri­can Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). If us­ing a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen or fi lter.
Remove debris from engine compartment and
muffl er area, before and after operating machine, especially after blowing in dry conditions.
ALWAYS shut off fuel when transporting or stor-
ing machine, the machine has a fuel shutoff.
DO NOT store machine near an open fl ame or
source of ignition, such as a water heater or fur­nace.
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fi ttings frequently
for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
Tire Safety
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death:
Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel with
the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the machine
indoors. Move machine outdoors and provide ad­equate ventilation.
Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled
on clothing, change clothing immediately . If fuel is spilled near machine, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage. Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open fl ame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliance.
Prevent fi re and explosion caused by static elec-
tric discharge. Static electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors in an ungrounded fuel container.

Operator Safety
Never fi ll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before fueling.
Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck
or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a por­table container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock open device.
Never over ll fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap
and tighten securely.
Replace all fuel container caps securely after
use.
For gasoline engines, do not use gas with metha-
nol. Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environment.
Handling Waste Product and Chemicals
Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant,
brake fl uid, and batteries, can harm the environ- ment and people:
DO NOT use beverage containers for waste fl uids
- someone may drink from them.
Contact your local Recycling Center or autho-
rized dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provides specifi c de-
tails on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency re­sponse techniques. The seller of the chemical products used with your machine is responsible for providing the SDS for that product.
