SafeOperatingPractices

ThefollowinginstructionsarefromtheCENstandard EN836:1997,ISOstandard5395:1990,andANSI standardB71.4-2004.

Training

•ReadtheOperator’ sManualandothertrainingmaterial carefully.Befamiliarwiththecontrols,safetysigns, andtheproperuseoftheequipment.

•Neverallowchildrenorpeopleunfamiliarwiththese instructionstousethemower.Localregulationsmay restricttheageoftheoperator.

•Nevermowwhilepeople,especiallychildren,orpets arenearby .

•Keepinmindthattheoperatororuserisresponsible foraccidentsorhazardsoccurringtohimselfor herself,otherpeople,orproperty.

•Donotcarrypassengers.

•Alldriversandmechanicsshouldseekandobtain professionalandpracticalinstruction.Theowneris responsiblefortrainingtheusers.Suchinstruction shouldemphasize:

–theneedforcareandconcentrationwhen

workingwithride-onmachines;

–controlofaride-onmachineslidingonaslope

◊insufcientwheelgrip; ◊beingdriventoofast; ◊inadequatebraking; ◊thetypeofmachineisunsuitableforitstask; ◊lackofawarenessoftheeffectofground

conditions,especiallyslopes;

◊incorrecthitchingandloaddistribution.

Preparation

•Whilemowing,alwayswearsubstantialfootwear, longtrousers,hardhat,safetyglasses,andhearing protection.Longhair,looseclothingorjewelrymay gettangledinmovingparts.Donotoperatethe equipmentwhenbarefootorwearingopensandals.

•Thoroughlyinspecttheareawheretheequipment istobeusedandremoveallobjectswhichmaybe thrownbythemachine.
