1.3.3 While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate equipment when barefoot or when wearing open sandals.
- 1 -
1.3.4 Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects which may damage the equipment or cause personal injury to the operator or bystanders.
POTENTIAL HAZARD Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is
an odorless deadly poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN Carbon monoxide can kill you.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined area
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,
and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from an
open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark.
Refuel only outdoors.
Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it
out of the reach of children.
Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running or when the engine is hot.
Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises
above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel spillage.

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or
explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved
container.
Always place gasoline containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a
truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
POTENTIAL HAZARD Gasoline vapor can collect inside enclosed trailers and
may be ignited by electrical sparks or hot engine/exhaust components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN Explosion and fire may occur, resulting in property
damage, personal injury, and/or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Provide adequate ventilation of any enclosed trailer to
prevent build up of gasoline vapors, especially at floor level.
Refuel only outdoors, never inside an enclosed trailer. Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage containers
have proper caps installed to prevent spillage and minimize vapor escaping into the trailer.
Do not place any equipment that is leaking gasoline in
an enclosed trailer.

1.4 OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon the design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the equipment. It is essential that all Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating condition prior to use for mowing.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD Operating engine parts, especially the muffler, become
extremely hot.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Severe burns can occur on contact. Debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Allow engine parts, especially the muffler, to cool before
touching.
Remove accumulated debris from muffler and engine area. Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before
using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, or brush-covered unimproved land.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD Hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories can become
entangled in rotating parts.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN Contact with rotating parts can cause traumatic amputation
or severe lacerations.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Do not operate the machine without guards, shields, and
safety devices in place and working properly.
Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, or clothing away from
rotating parts.
1.4.1 Give complete, undivided attention to the job at hand.
1.4.2 Mow only in daylight or good artificial light, keeping away from holes and hidden hazards. NEVER carry passengers.
DO NOT operate the mower when children or others are in the area!
1.4.3 When feasible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
1.4.4 Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of traction
and/or tip-over could occur. The operator is responsible for safe operation on slopes.
- 4 -
DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and
loss of control.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN Wheels dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks, or
water can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Do not mow near drop-offs or near water. Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees. Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes. Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
Note: A rollbar is available and its use is recommended for areas where there are slopes, drop-offs or water. (See section 1.4.5.)
See inside the back cover to determine the approximate slope angle of the area to be mowed.
Use a walk behind mower and\or a hand trimmer near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water. This area can be dangerous, see Figure 1.
Figure 1
SAFE ZONE FOR MOWING
Progressively greater care is needed as the slope increases.
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Mower may tip backwards.
Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill. Weight transfer to
the front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine.
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use extreme care with grass catchers or attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause loss of control.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.
1.4.5 A Rollover Protection System (ROPS) is available and its use is recommended for areas where there are slopes, drop-offs or water.
- 5 -
IMPORTANT: When operating a machine with a ROPS always use the seatbelt.
Be certain that the seat belt can be released quickly if the machine is driven or
rolls into ponds of water.
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches, doorways, and
electrical wires) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.
1.4.6 Use EXTREME caution when backing up. LOOK BEHIND YOU!!
1.4.7 Stop the blades when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the mower to and from the area to be mowed.
1.4.8 Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields, or covers. Always have safety shields, guards, switches, and other devices in place and in proper working condition.
1.4.9 DO NOT change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.
1.4.10 Disengage PTO before starting engine.
1.4.11 Start
the engine carefully with feet well away from the blades.
1.4.12 Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from rotating parts while the mower is being operated.
1.4.13 Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key:
Before checking, cleaning or working on the mower.

POTENTIAL HAZARD Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin and cause injury. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Fluid accidentally injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are in
good condition an all hydraulic connections and fittings
are tight before applying pressure to hydraulic system. Keep body and hands away from pinhole leaks or
nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper, not your hands, to find
hydraulic leaks. Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system by
placing the motion control levers in neutral and
shutting off the engine before performing any work on
the hydraulic system.
