Page 9

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Use Continued

¾Always look around before and during reversing maneuvers.

¾ Slow down before turning. ¾ Shut down the mower deck when not mowing. ¾ Be careful when rounding fixed objects, so that

the blades do not hit them. ¾ Only operate the machine in daylight or other

well-lit conditions. ¾ Keep the machine a safe distance from holes

or other irregularities in the ground. ¾ Never use the machine if you are tired, if you

have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking other drugs or medications that can affect your vision, judgment, or coordination.

¾ Beware of traffic when working near or crossing a road.

Remember The operator is responsible

for avoiding dangers or accidents.

WARNING

When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment shall be used. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury, but it will

¾ Never leave the machine unsupervised with the engine running. Always shut down the blades, engage the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the ignition key before leaving the machine.

¾ Never allow children or other persons not trained in the use of the machine to use or service it. Local laws may regulate the age of the user.

¾ Make sure that you have first aid equipment close at hand when using the machine.

¾ Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear protective shoes or boots.

reduce the degree of injury if an accident does occur. Ask your retailer for help in choosing the right equipment.

Page 10

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Slope Operation

¾ Remove obstacles such as stones, tree branches, etc. ¾ Mow up and down, not side to side. Never drive the rider

on terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees. ¾ Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tires begin to

slip, shut down the blades and drive slowly down the slope.

¾ Always drive evenly and slowly on slopes. ¾ Make no sudden changes in speed or direction. ¾ Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if it proves

necessary, turn slowly and gradually downward, if possible. ¾ Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. On uneven terrain, the

machine can tip more easily. Long grass can hide obstacles.

Remember The operator is

responsible for avoiding dangers or accidents.

¾ Drive slowly and use small movements of the steering controls.

¾ Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and the tires can loose their grip, so that the machine slides.

¾ Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a foot on the ground.

Children

¾ Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on guard for children in the area of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and mowing work. Never assume that children will stay put where you last saw them.

¾ Keep children away from the mowing area and under close supervision by another adult.

¾ Shut off the machine if children enter the work area. ¾ Never allow a child to ride with you. ¾ Never allow children to operate the machine. ¾ Be extra cautious near corners, bushes, trees, or other

objects that block your view.

SWISHER HISTORY

Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was producing lawn mowers from his mother’s chicken house. Max never liked to mow grass. He installed a gearbox on his family’s lawn mower creating a self-propelled unit. By tying one end of a rope to the mower and the other end to a tree in the center of the yard the mower circled the tree, shortening the rope and guiding the mower in concentric circles. Max enjoyed relaxing under a shade tree while his invention did all the work.

Max had designed his first self-propelled rotary lawn mower to do his dirty work for him. Neighbors noticed his new invention and began asking him to make more. Today, 60 years later, Swisher Mower and Machine Company, Inc. is still producing innovative lawn and garden and ATV/UTV equipment designed to give us all more “relaxing in the shade” time.

Swisher products have been featured nationally on television programs such as Regis and Kathie Lee and seen in publications like ATV Magazine Magazine and others. In January 2000 Popular Mechanics Magazine named Max’s zero turning radius riding mower one of the 20

century’s top household inventions.
