Safety Mechanisms

This product is equipped with the following safety mechanisms.

Engine can be started only when parking brake is in [ (engaged)] position and cutting
rotary clutch in [OFF] position. This is to prevent unintended movement of machine or cutting
blade when starting engine.

Start Interlock Mechanism

Engine stops if operator is not seated while cutting blade is rotating. This is to reduce the
possibility of accident related to moving blade when machine is turned over.

Automatic Blade Stopping Mechanism

Automatic Vehicle Stopping Mechanism

When machine is operated by drive lever and seat is tilted backwards, drive lever returns to
[ (neutral)] position and machine stops. This is to reduce the possibility where operator is
caught by branches when he or she is cutting under the tree. Drive pedal is not linked to this
mechanism because it automatically returns to neutral when released.

This section contains safety precautions to follow when operating and maintaining the
machine. Read and understand the precautions in this section as well as throughout this
manual and follow them when operating or maintaining the machine. Failure to follow safety
precautions could result in property damage, serious injury or death to the operator or
bystanders.

Safety Precautions

All operators and mechanics should receive practical instructions from their employer or
renter. Such instructions should cover the following issues:

• It is essential to familiarize yourself with the controls, safety labels and the proper

use of the machine.

• Never allow people unfamiliar with these instructions to operate or service the

machine. Do not let anyone under 18 years of age to operate this machine. Local

regulations may restrict the minimum age for operating the machine. Consult your

local authority.

• The operator is responsible for the accidents or hazards caused to other people or

their property.

• This machine has a riding capacity for one person only. Do not carry passengers

other than the operator.

• Observe the weight limit of this machine: 120kg.

• Always keep in mind that care and concentration is required when working with

ride-on machines.

• Loss of control on a slope cannot be regained by the application of the brake. The

main reasons for loss of control are:

→ insufcient grip of tires.

→ excessive speed.

→ misjudging of the ground conditions, especially slopes.

Training

Safety 1

-5-

• Fuel is highly ammable. See Checking and Filling Fuel, page 17, for important

safety information on handling fuel.

• Always wear protective footwear, long trousers, hardhat, safety glasses and ear

protection when operating or servicing the machine. Proper clothing will minimize

the chance of injury. Do not operate the equipment if you have long hair, loose

clothing, or jewelry; all of which may get tangled in moving parts. Do not operate

the machine barefoot or with open sandals.

• Prepare beforehand the working rules and procedures such as signaling and trac

control for the work place. Following such rules will reduce the risk of accidents.

• Never handle fuel or grease, service the engine, or recharge the battery in the

presence of re or spark.

• Perform the daily pre-startup inspection (see Preparation, pages 17) before starting

the machine. Repair or replace damaged parts before starting the machine.

Operation

• Do not operate the engine in a conned space where dangerous carbon monoxide

fumes can accumulate.

• Do not touch the engine, mufer or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or

soon after it has stopped. These areas will become very hot and can cause burns.

• Do not operate the machine under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Do not operate

the machine when you are tired, ill, or not feeling well.

• Always check for obstacles before operating on new terrain. This includes overhead

obstacles such as the branches of a tree.

• Before starting the engine and moving the machine, scan around your surroundings

and make sure all persons and other vehicles are a safe distance away from the

machine.

• On a slippery surface, travel slowly and exercise caution to reduce the chance of

skidding or sliding out of control. Never operate on ice.

• Always make certain that there is no obstacle or a person behind the machine when

backing up. After conrming that it is safe to back up, move slowly and avoid sharp

turns.

• To reduce the risk of tip over, pay special attention when encountering an obstacle

or a slope, or when braking on a slope or during a turn. See Driving on a Slope on

page 8.

• Never attempt to drive over a large obstacle such as rock or fallen tree.

This machine is intended for cutting grass and bushes. Any other use may pose hazard or
cause damage to the machine.

The stability of the machine is affected by the speed, rate of steering, terrain and the
operator's weight. Always pay close attention to these factors or a loss of control or tip over
could occur, resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.

General Driving

Safety 1

-7-

• Always travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Be

alert when traveling on changing terrain.

• Never operate on terrain that you are not comfortable with. Avoid terrain that is so

rough, slippery or loose that you feel like you could tip over.

• Do not operate the machine near the edge of a cliff, an overhang or a slide area. Pay

special attention after heavy rain or earthquake.

• Do not make sudden maneuvers. A sudden start, stop, or turn can make the

machine lose control and could cause a tip over. Be especially cautious when

traveling on soft or wet ground.

• Drive at a safe speed, taking into account the surface gradient, surface conditions

and load.

Driving on a Slope

• Always follow proper procedures for driving on a slope as described in this manual.

• Driving on a slope in a wrong manner can cause a loss of control or a vehicle tip

over. Check the terrain carefully before attempting to drive on a slope.

• Never drive on a slope that you are not comfortable with. Avoid a slope that is so

rough, slippery, or loose that you feel like you could tip over.

• When driving up a slope, proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle position.

• Never move the throttle lever, the drive lever, the drive pedal or the steering wheel

suddenly.

• If the engine stalls or loses traction during a climb and cannot make it to the top

of the slope, do not try to turn the machine around. Carefully back down slowly,

straight down the slope.

• Drive straight up or down slopes. Avoid turning on a slope.

• When going over the top of a slope, go slow; an obstacle, a sharp drop, or another

vehicle or person could be on the other side of the crest.

• Avoid driving the machine across a slope.

• Before driving down a slope, stop and shift auxiliary transmission to [LOW] position.

Drive slowly. Use the engine speed to help keep the machine speed low.

• Never use on a slope steeper than 25 degrees for CMX222 or 15 degrees for

CM223.

• Driving on a slope can be dangerous. It can result in a tip over and cause

serious injury or death. Take the following precautions.

Parking

• Park the machine on a at, level and stable surface. Never park on a slope steeper

than 10 degrees. Avoid parking on a slope less than 10 degrees. If parking on a

slope less than 10 degrees is absolutely unavoidable, apply the parking brake and

block the wheels at the lower end of the machine.

→ Park the machine facing uphill

→ Do not park sideways on a slope.

• Never park on an instable surface. Do not park near the edge of a cliff.

• Observe all the previous precautions for driving, driving on a slope and cutting.

• Whenever you park the machine, apply the parking brake and stop the engine.

Remove t h e key whenever you l e a ve th e machine unattended to p r e vent

unauthorized use or accidental starting.

• Gasoline is extremely ammable and can be explosive. When parking the machine

indoors, make certain that the building is well ventilated and that the machine is not

close to any source of ame or spark, including appliances with pilot lights.

Cutting

When conducting cutting operation, take the following precautions.

• Always follow the proper procedures for cutting as described in this manual.

• Shutt off the work site. Post signs to inform of the cutting operation. Close off the

site with rope if necessary to keep people, especially children, off the work site.

• Pay attention to the surrounding area. Rotating cutting blade throws stones, rocks

and debris. This may cause property damage, injury, or death.

• Drive forward when cutting. This best prevents the cutting blades from throwing

stones, rocks, or debris.

• Pay attention to obstacles. This includes overhead obstacles such as the branches

of a tree.

Servicing

• Do not service the machine when the engine is running. If it is absolutely necessary

to run the engine while servicing, beware of the moving parts.

• Do not operate the engine in a conned space where dangerous carbon monoxide

fumes can accumulate.

• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines

are in good condition and leak-free.

• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic

uid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search

for leaks. Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure can have sufcient force to

penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.

• Check all fuel lines on a regular basis for tightness and wear. Tighten or repair them

as needed.

• If the engine must be running to perform a service, keep hands, feet, clothing and

any part of the body away from any moving part, especially the cooling fan and the

belts at the back of the engine.

• Do not touch the engine, mufer, or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or

soon after it has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.

• The engine must be shut off before checking or adding oil.
