2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
1.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2. In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, prudence and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The best
safety feature is an informed,
careful operator." We ask you
to be that kind of an operator. It
is the operator's responsibility
to read and understand ALL Safety and Using
instructions in the manual and to follow these.
Accidents can be avoided.
4. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead
to careless injuries. Read this manual before
assembly or use, to acquaint yourself with
the machine. If this machine is used by any
person other than yourself, or is loaned or
rented, it is the machine owner's responsibil-
ity to make certain that the operator, prior to
using:
a. Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
b. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
5.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
machine quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with engine.
6. Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. Be certain only
a properly trained and physically able person will
use the machinery. A person who has not read
and understood all using and safety instructions
is not qualified to use the machine. An untrained
operator exposes himself and bystanders to pos-
sible serious injury or death. If the elderly are
assisting with the work, their physical limitations
need to be recognized and accommodated.
2.4 SAFETY SIGNS
1. Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
2. Replace safety signs that are missing or have
become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign
should also display the current sign.
4. Safety signs displayed in Section 3 each have a
part number in the lower right hand corner. Use
this part number when ordering replacement
parts.
5. Safety signs are available from your authorized
Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the
factory.
How to Install Safety Signs:
• Be sure that the installation area is clean and
dry.
• Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
• Determine exact position before you remove the

• Remove the smallest portion of the split backing
paper.
• Align the sign over the specified area and care-
fully press the small portion with the exposed
sticky backing in place.

fully smooth the remaining portion of the sign in
place.
• Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and
smoothed out using the piece of sign backing
paper.
