Operating Safety

Not for

Reproduction

Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or
not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are
responsible for your safety and that of those around you.

Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you
are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely
done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a
professional: contact your local authorized dealer.

Read the Manual

The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be
aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.

Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and
controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the
most out of your equipment investment.

Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found
on the following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.

Operator Safety

Children

Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often at­tracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a
risk that children may enter the area where you are mow­ing, have another responsible adult watch them.

DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES ON THIS UNIT! This
encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it
is running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then
approach the unit for a ride when you are not expecting it,
and you may run over them.

11

Reverse

Do not mow in reverse unless ab­solutely necessary. Always look down
and behind before and while
traveling in reverse even with
the mower blades disen­gaged.
