Safety

Operation

WARNING

Operating engine parts, especially the muffler,
become extremely hot. Severe burns can occur
on contact and debris, such as leaves, grass,
brush, etc. can catch fire.

Allow engine parts, especially the muffler, to
cool before touching.

Remove accumulated debris from muffler and
engine area.

WARNING

Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless deadly poison that can kill
you.

Do Not run engine indoors or in a small confined
area where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes
can collect.

Operate only in daylight or good artificial light,
keeping away from holes and hidden hazards.

Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking brake
is engaged before starting engine.

Never operate the machine with damaged guards,
shields, or covers. Always have safety shields,
guards, switches and other devices in place and in
proper working condition.

Do Not change the engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.

Park machine on level ground. Stop engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, remove key and
engage parking brake:

– Before checking, cleaning or working on the

machine.

– After striking a foreign object or abnormal

vibration occurs (inspect the machine for
damage and make repairs before restarting
and operating the machine).

– Before clearing blockages.

– Whenever you leave the machine.

Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
engage parking brake:

– Before refueling.

WARNING

Hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories can
become entangled in rotating parts. Contact
with the rotating parts can cause traumatic
amputation or severe lacerations.

Do Not operate the machine without
guards, shields, and safety devices in place
and working properly.

Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, or clothing
away from rotating parts.

NEVER

carry passengers.

DO NOT

operate

the machine when people, especially children, or
pets are in the area.

Be alert, slow down and use caution when
making turns. Look behind and to the side before
changing directions.

Raise the tines, slow down, and use caution when
crossing surfaces other than grass and when
transporting the machine to and from the work
area.

Do Not operate the machine under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.

Use extreme care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.

Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Slope Operation

Use

Extreme

when aerating and/or turning on

slopes as loss of traction and/or tip-over could occur.
The operator is responsible for safe operation on
slopes.

DANGER

Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control. Wheels dropping over
edges, ditches, steep banks, or water can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death or drowning.

Do Not operate on slopes when grass is wet.

Do Not operate near drop-offs or near water.

Do Not operate on slopes greater than 15
degrees.

Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.

Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
