Safe Operating Practices
Training
• Read, understand and follow all instructions on
the machine and in the manual(s) before operating
this machine. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the machine.
Know how to stop the machine and disengage the
controls quickly. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s)
can not read English it is the owner’s responsibility
to explain this material to them.
• Never allow children to operate or service the
machine. Never allow adults to operate or service
the machine without proper instruction. The
owner is responsible for training the users.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling,
especially when operating the machine in reverse.
• Only adults and mature teenagers should operate
the machine, and even mature teenagers should
have adult supervision. Be sure a teenager:
1. has read and understands the Operator's
Manual and recognizes the risks involved;
2. is sufficiently mature to use caution; and
3. is of sufficient size and weight to operate
the controls comfortably and to manage the
machine without taking risks.
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible
for accidents or injuries occurring to himself or
herself, other people or property.
Preparation
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine
is to be used and remove all ropes, wires, boards,
and other foreign objects which can be thrown or
become entangled in the machine and may cause
personal injury to the operator or bystanders.
• Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories
and attachments are needed to properly and
safely perform the job. Only use accessories and
attachments approved by Exmark.
• Prior to use, evaluate surfaces to be cleaned to
ensure proper footing or traction on slippery or
wet surfaces.
• Wear appropriate clothing including safety glasses,
dust protection mask, substantial footwear, long
trousers, and hearing protection. Long hair, loose
clothing or jewelry may get tangled in moving
parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on
slippery surfaces.
