· Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which
is an odorless deadly poison.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
· Carbon monoxide can kill you.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
· Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined
area where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect.
2
POTENTIAL HAZARD
· In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
· A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you,
others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
· Do not smoke while refueling. Stay away from an
open flame or where gasoline fumes may be
ignited by spark.
· Refuel only outdoors.
· Store gasoline in an approved container and keep
it out of the reach of children.
· Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is
running or when the engine is hot.
· Never fill the fuel tank so that gasoline level rises
above a level that is 3/8"(10mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This allows for gasoline
expansion and prevents fuel spillage.
· If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the
engine. Move away from the area of the spill.
Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel
vapors have dissipated.
· Do not operate without entire exhaust system in
place and in proper working condition.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
· In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
· A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire
or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,
and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
· Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved
container.
· Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle while filling.
· Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed. Interior carpets or plastic
truck bed liners may insulate the container and
slow the loss of any static charge.
· When practical, remove gas-powered equipment
from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment
with its wheels on the ground.
· If this is not possible, refuel such equipment on a
truck or trailer from a portable container, rather
than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
· If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep
the nozzle in contact with rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is
complete.
3
POTENTIAL HAZARD
· Gasoline vapor can collect inside enclosed trailers
and may be ignited by electrical sparks or hot
engine/exhaust components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
· Explosion and fire may occur, resulting in
property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
· Provide adequate ventilation of any enclosed
trailer to prevent build up of gasoline vapors,
especially at floor level.
· Refuel only outdoors, never inside an enclosed
trailer.
· Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage
containers have proper caps installed to prevent
spillage and minimize vapor escaping into the
trailer.
· Do not place any equipment that is leaking
gasoline in an enclosed trailer.
1.4 OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident prevention
partially are dependent upon the design and
configuration of the equipment, these factors are also
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence,
and proper training of the personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and the storage of
the equipment. It is essential that all Operator Safety
Mechanisms be connected and in operating condition
prior to use for mowing.
POTENTAL HAZARD

become extremely hot.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
· Severs burns can occur on contact.
· Debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch
fire.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
· Allow engine parts, especially the muffler, to cool
before touching.
· Remove accumulated debris from muffler and engine
area.
· Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester
before using equipment on forest-covered,
grass-covered, or brush-covered unimproved land.
POTENTIALHAZARD
· Hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories can
become entangled in rotating parts.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
· Contact with rotating parts can cause traumatic
amputation or severe lacerations.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
· Do not operate the machine without guards, shields,

POTENTIAL HAZARD
· Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
· Wheels dropping over edges, ditches, steep banks,
or water can cause rollovers, which may result in
serious injury, death or drowning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
· Do not mow on slopes when grass is wet.
· Do not mow near drop-offs or near water.
· Do not mow on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
· Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
· Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
Use a walk behind mower /or a hand trimmer
near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or water. This
area can be dangerous, see Figure1.
Progressively greater care is needed as the slope
increases.
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a
slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly off the slope.
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. Mower
may tip backwards.
Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
downhill. Weight transfer to the front wheels may
cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of
braking and steering.
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises
that change the operating angle, as rough terrain
could overturn the machine.
Use extreme care with grass catchers or
attachments. These can change the stability of the
machine and cause loss of control.
