Safety
Safe Operation Practices
for Ride-on (riding) Rotary
Lawnmower Machines
T his mac hine meets or ex ceeds European
Standards in effect at the time of production.
Ho w ev er , improper use or maintenance b y the
operator or o wner can result in injur y . T o reduce
the potential for injur y , comply with these safety
instr uctions and alw a ys pa y attention to the
safety aler t symbol, whic h means CA UTION ,
W ARNING , or D ANGER -“personal safety
instr uction. ” F ailure to comply with the instr uction
ma y result in personal injur y or death.
Safe Operating Practices
T he follo wing instr uctions are from the CEN
standard EN 836:1997.
T his product is capable of amputating hands and
feet and thro wing objects . Alw a ys follo w all safety
instr uctions to a v oid serious injur y or death.
Training
• R ead the instr uctions carefully . Be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment.
• Nev er allo w c hildren or people unfamiliar with
these instr uctions to use the la wnmo w er . Local
regulations can restrict the ag e of the operator .
• Nev er mo w while people , especially c hildren,
or pets are nearb y .
• K ee p in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occur ring
to other people or their proper ty .
• Do not car r y passeng ers .
• All dri v ers should seek and obtain professional
and practical instr uction. Suc h instr uction
should emphasize:
◊ being dri v en too fast;
◊ inadequate braking;
◊ the type of mac hine is unsuitable for its
task;
◊ lac k of a w areness of the effect of
g round conditions , especially slopes;
◊ incor rect hitc hing and load distribution.
Preparation
• W hile mo wing, alw a ys w ear substantial
footw ear and long trousers . Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or w earing open
sandals .
• T horoughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remo v e all objects
whic h ma y be thro wn b y the mac hine .
• W ar ning-Fuel is highly flammable .
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this pur pose .
– R efuel outdoors only and do not smok e
while refuelling .
– Add fuel before star ting the engine . Nev er
remo v e the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is r unning or when the
engine is hot.
– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to star t the
engine but mo v e the mac hine a w a y from
the area of spillag e and a v oid creating any
source of ignition until fuel v apors ha v e
dissipated.
– R e place all fuel tanks and container caps
securely .
• R e place faulty silencers .
• Before using, alw a ys visually inspect to see that
the blades , blade bolts and cutter assembly
are not w or n or damag ed. R e place w or n or
damag ed blades and bolts in sets to preser v e
balance .
– the need for care and concentration when
w orking with ride-on mac hines;
– control of a ride-on mac hine sliding on a
slope will not be reg ained b y the application
of the brak e . T he main reasons for loss of
control are:
◊ insufficient wheel g rip;
• On m ulti-bladed mac hines , tak e care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate .
Operation
• Be aler t, slo w do wn and use caution when
making tur ns . Look behind and to the side
before c hanging directions .
4
• Do not operate the engine in a confined space
where dang erous carbon mono xide fumes can
collect.
• Mo w only in da ylight or in g ood ar tificial light.
• Before attempting to star t the engine ,
diseng ag e all blade attac hment clutc hes and
shift into neutral.
• Do not use on slopes of more than 15 deg rees .
• R emember there is no suc h thing as a safe
slope . T ra v el on g rass slopes requires par ticular
care . T o guard ag ainst o v er tur ning:
– do not stop or star t suddenly when g oing
up or do wnhill;
– use lo w speeds on slopes and during tight
tur ns;
– sta y aler t for humps and hollo ws and other
hidden hazards;
• Use care when pulling loads .
– Use only appro v ed dra wbar hitc h points .
– Limit loads to those y ou can safely control.
– Do not tur n shar ply . Use care when
rev ersing .
• W atc h out for traffic when crossing or near
roadw a ys .
• Stop the blades rotating before crossing
surfaces other than g rass .
• W hen using any attac hments , nev er direct
disc harg e of material to w ard b ystanders
nor allo w any one near the mac hine while in
operation.
• Nev er operate the mac hine with damag ed
guards or without safety protecti v e devices in
place .
• Do not c hang e the engine g o v er nor settings or
o v erspeed the engine . Operating the engine
at ex cessi v e speed can increase the hazard of
personal injur y .
• Before lea ving the operator’ s position:
– diseng ag e the po w er tak e-off and lo w er the
attac hments;
– c hang e into neutral and set the parking
brak e;
– stop the engine and remo v e the k ey .
• Diseng ag e dri v e to attac hments , stop the
engine , and disconnect the spark plug wire(s)
or remo v e the ignition k ey
– before clearing bloc kag es or unclog ging
c hute;
– before c hec king, cleaning or w orking on
the la wnmo w er;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect
the la wnmo w er for damag e and mak e
re pairs before restar ting and operating the
equipment;
– if the mac hine star ts to vibrate abnor mally
(c hec k immediately).
• Diseng ag e dri v e to attac hments when
transpor ting or not in use .
• Stop the engine and diseng ag e dri v e to
attac hment
– before refuelling;
– before remo ving the g rass catc her;
– before making height adjustment unless
adjustment can be made from the operator’ s
position.
• R educe the throttle setting during engine
r un-out and, if the engine is pro vided with
a shut-off v alv e , tur n the fuel off at the
conclusion of mo wing .
Maintenance and Storage
• K ee p all n uts , bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe w orking condition.
• Nev er store the equipment with fuel in the
tank inside a building where fumes can reac h
an open flame or spark.
• Allo w the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure .
• T o reduce the fire hazard, k ee p the engine ,
silencer , batter y compar tment and fuel storag e
area free of g rass , lea v es , or ex cessi v e g rease .
• Chec k the g rass catc her frequently for w ear or
deterioration.
• R e place w or n or damag ed par ts for safety .
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should
be done outdoors .
• W hen mac hine is to be park ed, stored or left
unattended, lo w er the cutting means .

infor mation that y ou m ust kno w that is not
included in the CEN standard.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon mono xide ,
whic h is an odorless , deadly poison that can
kill y ou. Do not r un engine indoors or in an
enclosed area.
• K ee p hands , feet, hair and loose clothing a w a y
from attac hment disc harg e area, underside of
mo w er and any mo ving par ts while engine is

• Do not touc h equipment or attac hment par ts
whic h ma y be hot from operation. Allo w to
cool before attempting to maintain, adjust, or
ser vice .
• Batter y acid is poisonous and can cause bur ns .
A v oid contact with skin, eyes and clothing .
Protect y our face , eyes , and clothing when
w orking with a batter y .
• Batter y g ases can explode . K ee p cig arettes ,
sparks , and flames a w a y from batter y .
• Use only g en uine T oro re placement par ts to
ensure that original standards are maintained.
• Use only T oro-appro v ed attac hments .
• Be a w are that loss of traction ma y occur g oing
do wnhill. W eight transfer to the front wheels
ma y cause dri v e wheels to slip and cause loss
of braking and steering .
• Alw a ys a v oid sudden star ting or stopping on
a slope . If tires lose traction, diseng ag e the
blades and proceed slo wly off the slope .
• F ollo w the man ufacturer’ s recommendations
for wheel w eights or counterw eights to
impro v e stability .
• Use extreme care with g rass catc hers or other
attac hments . T hese can c hang e the stability of
the mac hine and cause loss of control.

Slope Operation
• Do not mo w slopes g reater than 15 deg rees .
• Do not mo w near drop-offs , ditc hes , stee p
banks , or w ater . W heels dropping o v er edg es
can cause rollo v ers , whic h ma y result in serious
injur y , death, or dro wning .
• Do not mo w slopes when g rass is w et. Slipper y
conditions reduce traction and could cause
sliding and loss of control.
• Do not mak e sudden tur ns or rapid speed
c hang es .
• Use a w alk behind mo w er and/or a hand
trimmer near drop-offs , ditc hes , stee p banks ,
or w ater .
• R educe speed and use extreme caution on
slopes .
• R emo v e or mark obstacles suc h as roc ks , tree
limbs , etc . from mo wing area. T all g rass can
hide obstacles .
• W atc h for ditc hes , holes , roc ks dips , and rises
