
Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could
injure people or damage property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain, rubber, or steel
band shielding, operation must be stopped when anyone comes
within 300 feet (92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects.
The mower deck and protective devices cannot prevent all objects
from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is
possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300
feet (92 m).

Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good
operating condition.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting
caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protec -
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or
filter mask where appropriate.
