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.

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
