your view of a child who may run into the path of the
mower.
•
Before and while backing, look behind and down for
small children.
•
Never carry children on the mower with you, even with
the blade(s) shut off. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation. Children
who have been given rides in the past may suddenly
appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run
over or backed over by the machine.
2.7
USE A RAMP
•
Use extreme caution when loading and unloading this
mower onto a truck or trailer with a ramp.
•
Use only a single, full-width ramp. This provides a
surface for the mower frame to contact if the unit starts to
tip backwards. It also reduces the risk of a wheel going
off and the machine tipping over.
•
Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between the ramp and
the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck.
•
Become familiar with the mower’s controls and confident
in its smooth operation before attempting to drive it up or
down a ramp.
•
Use slow drive mode and drive carefully.
•
Avoid any sudden movement of the controls and use only
slow, even acceleration.
2.8
TOWING
•
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
•
Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
•
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction and loss of control.
•
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
2.9

2.9.1
BATTERY
•
Battery-operated mowers and tools do not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet to run; therefore, they are
always in operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards when not using your battery-operated mower or
when changing accessories. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
•
Do not place battery-operated machines or tools -- or the
batteries themselves -- near fire or heat. This will reduce
the risk of explosion and possibly injury.
•
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received
a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion.
Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery
immediately.
•
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of
ignition, like a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, never use any cordless product in the
presence of an open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately. Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
•
For best results, your battery-operated machine should be
charged in a location where the temperature is more than
0°C (32° F) but less than 45°C (113° F). To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury, do not store outside or in
vehicles.
•
Charge batteries in an open, well-ventilated area away
from spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting
or disconnecting battery to/from the charging port.
Always wear safety glasses and protective clothing/gear.
Use insulated tools.
•
Incorrect battery cable routing could cause damage to the
mower and battery cables. This can cause sparks, which
can cause a battery gas explosion that will result in
serious personal injury.
•
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Mutilated batteries
can release corrosive electrolytes which can cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
