5 - SAFETY
Operator hearing protection is recommended.
Extended exposure to loud noise could lead to
hearing loss.
A
fire extinguisher and first aid box should be car-
ried with the power unit or be kept readily available
at all times.
Keep emergency numbers for immediate ac-
cess.
DURING OPERATION
Do not bypass the starting circuit by shorting
across the terminals of the starter motor to start
the engine. This may cause the power unit to
move suddenly.
If the starting system does not work, consult your
EverRide
Dealer immediately.
Operate the mower only in daylight or when the
area to be mowed is lit well by artificial light.
Never remove the discharge shield from the mower
because the discharge shield directs material
down toward the turf. If the shield is damaged,
be sure to replace it immediately.
Never try to clear the discharge area or the mower
blades unless you have moved the motion control
arms to the park position, turned the mower PTO
switch to the off position, the mower ignition switch
is in the off position, the key is removed and the
negative battery cable has been removed.
Do not operate the power unit in a confined or
non-ventilated area. Carbon monoxide gas is
colorless, odorless, and can be fatal.
Do not turn sharply when driving at high speeds.
Park the mower on a firm level surface with the
motion control arms in the park position.
When backing, be sure to turn around and look
to the rear. Do not mow in reverse unless it is
absolutely necessary.
When working in groups, use caution and watch
out for others.
Always be aware of mower discharge direction.
Make sure it does not point at anyone.
Periodically check the starting circuit to make sure
all system components operate correctly.
