2. BEFORE STARTING THE FRONT MOWER
2.1. Set up an operation plan with sufficient time allow-
ance. A tight plan may result in unexpected acci-
dents. Especially when operating the front mower
under extremely hot, cold, or humid circumstances,
set up an operation schedule or method which will
ensure operational safety.
2.2. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Mowing
in the dark may cause unexpected accidents.
2.3. Thoroughly inspect the mowing area and remove all
objects from the mowing area that the front mower
can throw, such as stones, toys, sticks, and wires,
which may lead to serious accidents.
2.4. Ensure that there are no people or pets in the area
where you will mow. Keep children out of the mowing
area and under the watchful care of a responsible
adult.
2.5. Do not operate the front mower unless the operator’s
presence controls, safety switches, and guards are
attached and functioning properly.
2.6. Start the engine from the operating or designated
starting position.
2.7. Before starting the engine,make sure that everything
is safe around the front mower and put the traction
drive in neutral, set parking brake, and disengage
the cutting unit(s). Otherwise, unexpected accidents
may occur.
2.8. Start the engine with the starter switch only. Never
attempt to start the engine by shorting the terminals,
or the front mower may move abruptly, and result in
unexpected accidents.
2.9. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Sufficient ventilation should be provided when start-
ing the engine in an enclosed area.
2.10. Make sure of safety around the front mower and
move slowly when starting. Abrupt starting may
cause unexpected accidents.
2.11. Become familiar with the operation, particularly, the
stopping of the front mower. You should be skilful
enough to be able to stop the front mower at will.
2.12. Use only attachments and accessories approved by
the manufacturer and install and operate them as
directed.
