■ Read the Operator's Manual and other training material carefully. Be
familiar with the controls and safety indications and learn how to stop
the mower in an emergency.
■ If the operator cannot understand the manual, it is the owner's
responsibility to thoroughly explain the contents of this Operator's
Manual.
■ Never allow children to operate or service the mower. Never allow
adults that are unfamiliar with the instructions to operate or service the
mower. Follow the age limit specified by your countr y or local
government.
■
Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
■ Keep in mind that the owner, operator, or mechanic is responsible for
preventing accidents, and accidents can be abolished with the
cooperation of all.
■ Never carry passengers other than the operator.
■
All operators and mechanics should receive proper training. The owner
is responsible for training the operators and the following must be
thoroughly understood.:
● The basic safety precautions for operating ride-on mowers
●
Controlling the mower by applying the brake when it begins to slide on a slope is
difficult. The main reasons it is impossible to control the mower on a slope are:
* Insufficient tire grip
* Driving too fast
* Inadequate braking
* Using a model inadequate for the job
* Lack of awareness of the ground conditions (bumpy, icy, muddy)
1. Training
■ Use clothing and equipment that are suitable for the job. Wear a helmet,
safety glasses, and ear protectors. Long hair, loose clothing, or jewelry
can get tangled in moving parts. Do not operate the mower when
barefoot or wearing sandals.
■ Thoroughly check that the area where the mower is to be used is free of
objects that can be thrown by the mower such as rocks, toys, and wire
before starting.
■ Do not operate the mower under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
■ Warning: Fuel is highly flammable. Take the following precautions:
● Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
● Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling.
● Refuel before mowing. Do not remove the fuel tank cap when the engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
●
If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine. Move the machine away from the area
where the fuel was spilled and avoid creating any source of ignition until the spilled
fuel has completely dissipated.
● Close the fuel tank and fuel container cap securely.
■ Repair any sensors that are malfunctioning before operating the mower.
■
Check that the seat switch and safety switch, and the safety guards and
covers are installed correctly and that they function properly. Repair
these parts if there is a malfunction before operating the mower.
