OPERATIONAL SAFETY RULES

 

Walk Around Inspection

 

Complete a walk around inspection of unit and work 
area to understand:

  • Work area   • Your unit   • All safety decals

 

Work Area

 

ALWAYS check overhead and side clearances carefully 
before operation. ALWAYS be aware of traffic when 
operating along streets or curbs.

Keep children and people away. Keep children out of 
work area and under watchful care of a responsible 
adult.

NEVER allow children to operate or play on or near 
unit. Be alert and shut off unit if children enter area.

Keep area of operation clear of all toys, pets, and 
debris. Thrown objects can cause injury.

Check for weak spots on docks, ramps or floors. Avoid 
uneven work areas and rough terrain. Stay alert for 
hidden hazards.

Avoid uneven and rough terrain. DO NOT operate near 
drop offs, ditches, or embankments. Unit can suddenly 
turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or 
if an edge caves in.

Dust, fog, etc. can reduce vision and cause an 
accident. Operate unit only when there is good visibility 
and light.

 

Personal Safety

 

Data indicates that operators, age 60 and above, are 
involved in a larger percentage of riding mower related 
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to 
operate the riding mower safely enough to protect 
themselves and others from serious injury.

Only trained adults may operate unit. Training includes 
being familiar with controls and actual operation.

NEVER operate unit after or during the use of 
medication, drugs or alcohol. Safe operation requires 
your complete and unimpaired attention at all times.

NEVER allow anyone to operate this unit when their 
alertness or coordination is impaired.
