3.  Safety

3.1  General

Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the 
main concerns in designing and developing a new 
piece of equipment.  Designers and manufacturers 
build in as many safety features as possible.  However, 
every year many accidents occur which could have 
been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more 
careful approach to handling the equipment.

Most work-related accidents are caused by failure to 
observe basic safety rules or precautions.  An accident 
can often be avoided by recognizing potentially 
hazardous situations before an accident occurs.  As you 
assemble, operate, or maintain the offset mower (unit), 
you must be alert to potential hazards.  You should also 
have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform 
any assembly or maintenance procedures.

Improper operation and maintenance of this unit could 
result in a dangerous situation that could cause injury 
or death.

If you have any questions not answered in this manual 
or require additional copies or the manual is damaged, 
please contact your dealer or:
