Operating Safety
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of
lawn and garden equipment. Our products are designed and
manufactured to meet or exceed all industry standards for
safety.
Do not operate this machine unless you have been trained.
Reading and understanding this operator’s manual is a way to
train yourself.
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is
misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous!
Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of
those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing.
If you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can
be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a
professional: contact your local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information
you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as
well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s
features and controls, and maintenance information is
included to help you get the most out of your equipment
investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information
found on the following pages. Also completely read the
Operation section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often
attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a risk
that children may enter the area where you are mowing, have
another responsible adult watch them.
Slope Operation
You could be seriously injured if you use this unit on too
steep of a slope. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep
where you do not have adequate footing and unit traction
(and control) can cause you to lose control and possibly slip
and fall or roll the unit over.
Always mow across slopes, not up and down (you could slip
and fall.)
Also, note that the surface you are on can greatly impact your
ability to safely operate this machine. Wet grass or soft soil
can seriously affect your footing and traction of the unit. Do
not operate on slopes that are slippery, wet, or have soft soil.
