Snapper NXT 19542, Operator'S Manual

Page: 5 / 64

Operating Safety
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.
DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES ON THIS UNIT! This
encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it
is running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then
approach the unit for a ride when you are not expecting it,
and you may run over them.
Reverse
Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary.
Always look down
and behind before
and while traveling
in reverse even with
the mower blades
disengaged.
