SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an
accident. Read this section carefully before operating the
mower. All operators, no matter how much experience
they may have had, should read this manual, the machine
manual and other related manuals before operating
mower. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators
in safe operation.
B Before operation (Pre-operation)
A Operator
1. Do not operate the machine while under the influence
of alcohol, medication, other substances or while
fatigued.
2. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and learn how
to stop quickly in an emergency. Know your equipment
and its limitations.
3. Do not wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around
machine. The clothing may catch on moving parts or
controls, leading to the risk of accident.
Wear and use any additional safety items such as hard
hat, safety boots or shoes, eye and hearing protection,
gloves, etc., as appropriate or required.
4. Never allow children to operate the mower, even
under adult supervision.
5. Read and understand this manual and the machine
operator's manual before operating the mower. Allow
only a properly trained person to operate the machine.
A Machine, blades and equipment
1. Do not operate the mower without all shields and
guards in place.
2. The mower is equipped with many safety devices. Do
not alter or remove any part of safety system for your
safety.
3. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
mower is in safe working condition.
4. Check the blade bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
5. Inspect the blades for wear and damage. A dull blade
can be sharpened, but a blade that is worn out, bent,
cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced.
6. Replace damaged or illegible safety decals.
See the following pages for required labels.
7. Do not modify the mower. Unauthorized modification
may affect the function of the mower, which may result
in personal injury.
A Working area
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be
used.
Remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other
objects that could be thrown at high speed.
2. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children, and pets.
All people and pets should be kept at a safe distance
from the work area.
B Operation

A Operation

stop the machine; disengage the mower drive; shut off
the engine and remove the key, and clean out the
deflector before continuing. (For side discharge

6. Hillside operation is dangerous and is not
recommended. If it is necessary to mow on a hillside,

slope.
7. When mowing in rough terrain or in high grass, set the
mower at the highest cutting level to reduce the
possibility of the mower striking debris or hidden
objects.

the area is clear of all objects.
