SAFETY RULES

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

DANGER: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING: In order to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs, always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WARNING: Do not coast down a hill in neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.

WARNING: Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when towing. Operate only at the lowest possible speed when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires

can lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

1.GENERAL OPERATION

•Read,understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before starting. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine.

•Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blades. Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the area. Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

•Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blades when crossing gravel surfaces. Do not operate machine without the discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and working.

•Slow down before turning.

•Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.

•Disengage blades when not mowing. Shut off engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before cleaning the machine, or unclogging the discharge chute.

•Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

•Do not operate the machine while under the influence ofalcohol or drugs.

•Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roads.

•Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.

•Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

•Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from serious injury.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights.

•Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris build-up which can touch hot exhaust / engine parts and burn. Do not allow the mower deck to blow leaves or other debris which can cause buildup to occur. Clean any oil or fuel spillage before operating or storing the machine. Allow machine to cool before storage.

2.SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

•Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

•Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction. Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

•Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

•Keep all movement on the 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 grass

catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge caves in.

3.CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

•Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.

•Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the area.

•Before and while backing, look behind and down for small children.

•Never carry children, even with the blades shut off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.

•Never allow children to operate the machine.

•Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.

4.TOWING

•Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

•On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

•Never remove petrol cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

•Never fuel the machine indoors.

•Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

•Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.

•Remove petrol 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 petrol dispenser nozzle.

•Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

•If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

•Never overfill fuel tank. Replace petrol cap and tighten securely.

GENERAL SERVICE

•Never operate machine in a closed area.

•Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

•Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

•Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.

•Clean oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel-soaked debris.

•Allow machine to cool before storing.

•If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine.

•Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

•Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

•Check the discharge chute frequently and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary.

•Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

•Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.

•Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

5.SERVICE
