During Operation
During Operation Safety
General Safety
•
The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for
accidents that may cause personal injury or property
damage.
•
Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection;
slip-resistant, substantial footwear; and hearing
protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear jewelry.
•
Do not operate the machine while ill, tired, or under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
•
Never carry passengers on the machine and keep
bystanders and pets away from the machine during
operation.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility to avoid holes
or hidden hazards.
•
Avoid mowing on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause the machine to slide.
•
Ensure that all drives are in neutral, the parking brake
is engaged, and you are in the operating position before
you start the engine.
•
Keep your hands and feet away from the cutting units.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
•
Look behind and down before backing up to be sure of
a clear path.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure your vision.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes
over the edge or if the edge gives way.
•
Stop the blades whenever you are not mowing.
•
Stop the machine and inspect the blades after striking an
object or if there is an abnormal vibration in the machine.
Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.
•
Slow down and use caution when making turns and
crossing roads and sidewalks with the machine. Always
yield the right-of-way.
•
Disengage the drive to the cutting unit and shut off the
engine before adjusting the height of cut (unless you can
adjust it from the operating position).
•
Never run an engine in an area where exhaust gases are
enclosed.
•
Never leave a running machine unattended.
•
Before leaving the operating position (including to empty
the catchers or to unclog the chute), do the following:
– Stop the machine on level ground.
– Disengage the power take-off and lower the
attachments.
– Engage the parking brake.
– Shut off the engine and remove the key.
