SafeOperationPractices forRide-on(riding)Rotary LawnmowerMachines

ThismachinemeetsorexceedsEuropeanStandardsin effectatthetimeofproduction.However,improper useormaintenancebytheoperatororownercan resultininjury.Toreducethepotentialforinjury, complywiththesesafetyinstructionsandalwayspay attentiontothesafetyalertsymbol,whichmeans CAUTION,WARNING,orDANGER-“personal safetyinstruction.”Failuretocomplywiththe instructionmayresultinpersonalinjuryordeath.

SafeOperatingPractices

ThefollowinginstructionsarefromtheENstandard EN836:1997.

Thisproductiscapableofamputatinghandsand feetandthrowingobjects.Alwaysfollowallsafety instructionstoavoidseriousinjuryordeath.

Training

•Readtheinstructionscarefully.Befamiliarwiththe controlsandtheproperuseoftheequipment.

•Neverallowchildrenorpeopleunfamiliarwiththese instructionstousethelawnmower.Localregulations canrestricttheageoftheoperator.

•Nevermowwhilepeople,especiallychildren,orpets arenearby .

•Keepinmindthattheoperatororuserisresponsible foraccidentsorhazardsoccurringtootherpeopleor theirproperty.

•Donotcarrypassengers.

•Alldriversshouldseekandobtainprofessional andpracticalinstruction.Suchinstructionshould emphasize:

–theneedforcareandconcentrationwhen

workingwithride-onmachines;

–controlofaride-onmachineslidingonaslope

willnotberegainedbytheapplicationofthe brake.Themainreasonsforlossofcontrolare:

◊insufcientwheelgrip;

◊beingdriventoofast;

◊inadequatebraking;

◊thetypeofmachineisunsuitableforitstask;

Page 4

◊lackofawarenessoftheeffectofground

conditions,especiallyslopes;

◊incorrecthitchingandloaddistribution.

–stayalertforhumpsandhollowsandother

hiddenhazards;

•Usecarewhenpullingloads.

Preparation

•Whilemowing,alwayswearsubstantialfootwearand longtrousers.Donotoperatetheequipmentwhen barefootorwearingopensandals.

•Thoroughlyinspecttheareawheretheequipment istobeusedandremoveallobjectswhichmaybe thrownbythemachine.

•Warning-Fuelishighlyammable.

–Storefuelincontainersspecicallydesignedfor

thispurpose.

–Refueloutdoorsonlyanddonotsmokewhile

refuelling.

–Addfuelbeforestartingtheengine.Never

removethecapofthefueltankoraddfuelwhile theengineisrunningorwhentheengineishot.

–Iffuelisspilled,donotattempttostartthe

enginebutmovethemachineawayfromthe areaofspillageandavoidcreatinganysourceof ignitionuntilfuelvaporshavedissipated.

–Replaceallfueltanksandcontainercapssecurely.

•Replacefaultysilencers.

•Beforeusing,alwaysvisuallyinspecttoseethatthe blades,bladeboltsandcutterassemblyarenotworn ordamaged.Replacewornordamagedbladesand boltsinsetstopreservebalance.

•Onmulti-bladedmachines,takecareasrotatingone bladecancauseotherbladestorotate.

–Useonlyapproveddrawbarhitchpoints.

–Limitloadstothoseyoucansafelycontrol.

–Donotturnsharply.Usecarewhenreversing.

•Watchoutfortrafcwhencrossingornearroadways.

•Stopthebladesrotatingbeforecrossingsurfaces otherthangrass.

•Whenusinganyattachments,neverdirectdischarge ofmaterialtowardbystandersnorallowanyonenear themachinewhileinoperation.

•Neveroperatethemachinewithdamagedguardsor withoutsafetyprotectivedevicesinplace.

•Donotchangetheenginegovernorsettingsor overspeedtheengine.Operatingtheengineat excessivespeedcanincreasethehazardofpersonal injury.

•Beforeleavingtheoperator’sposition:

–disengagethepowertake-offandlowerthe

attachments;

–changeintoneutralandsettheparkingbrake;

–stoptheengineandremovethekey.

•Disengagedrivetoattachments,stoptheengine, anddisconnectthesparkplugwire(s)orremovethe ignitionkey

–beforeclearingblockagesoruncloggingchute;

–beforechecking,cleaningorworkingonthe

lawnmower;

Operation

•Bealert,slowdownandusecautionwhenmaking turns.Lookbehindandtothesidebeforechanging directions.

•Donotoperatetheengineinaconnedspacewhere dangerouscarbonmonoxidefumescancollect.

•Mowonlyindaylightoringoodarticiallight.

•Beforeattemptingtostarttheengine,disengageall bladeattachmentclutchesandshiftintoneutral.

•Donotuseonslopesofmorethan15degrees.

•Rememberthereisnosuchthingasasafeslope. Travelongrassslopesrequiresparticularcare.To guardagainstoverturning:

–donotstoporstartsuddenlywhengoingupor

–uselowspeedsonslopesandduringtightturns;

–afterstrikingaforeignobject.Inspectthe

•Disengagedrivetoattachmentswhentransporting ornotinuse.

•Stoptheengineanddisengagedrivetoattachment

–beforerefuelling;

–beforeremovingthegrasscatcher;

•Neverstoretheequipmentwithfuelinthetank insideabuildingwherefumescanreachanopen ameorspark.

•Allowtheenginetocoolbeforestoringinany enclosure.

•Toreducetherehazard,keeptheengine,silencer, batterycompartmentandfuelstorageareafreeof grass,leaves,orexcessivegrease.
