OPERATE CAREFULLY!
It is important to slow down when
turning and when going down slopes. Doing so could result in a roll
over and injury, or possibly death, to the operator.
Safety Warnings
Never operate the equipment without the
Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and without a seat belt.
These items prevent
injury in a roll-over accident. It is also highly recommended to
wear protective equipment such as a hard hat, safety glasses,
safety shoes, and ear plugs.
Rollover
Stay away from rotating blades.
Keep hands and feet clear
of rotating blades and discharge areas at all times
. Never
get close to the blades until
all motion has stopped and ma-
chine is turned off.
Never operate equipment with loose blades. Retighten after the first 8
hours of use and after blade replacement.
Never allow
rotating blades
to
contact solid objects
like rocks, posts, curbs
or guard rails.
Only operate if all guards and deflectors are in place and
in good working condition
.
Rotating Blades
•
Never operate with mower deck raised if bystanders or traffic
are in the area. This helps to prevent injury or death from
objects thrown by the blades.
•
Stop cutting if someone comes within 300 feet.
DO NOT
operate equipment with bystanders in the area!
Rotary
mowers have the ability to throw debris considerable
distances when blades are allowed to strike foreign objects.
Operator must exercise caution or serious injury or even
death could result.
