SAFETY
OPERATING SAFELY
In general
–
Use extra care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
–
Watch out for traffic when near or crossing
roadways.
–
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
–
Do not place your foot on the ground while
operating the machine.
–
Before operating, lower the discharge chute,
install the mulcher or put the entire grass catcher
in place.
–
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Never direct the discharge toward a bystander.
Stop operation if someone approaches.
–
Keep washout ports and other mower housing
service openings closed when mowing.
–
Use care when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
- Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
- Limit loads to those you can safely control.
- Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
- Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when
suggested in the operator's manual.
–
Never leave a machine unattended. Always turn
off blades, set parking brake, stop engine and
remove keys before dismounting.
Starting
–
Start only according to instructions in this
manual or on the machine.
–
Before attempting to start the engine, make
sure:
- the parking brake is on,
- the PTO is disengaged;
- the traction drive is in NEUTRAL.
–
When starting the engine, make sure hands and
feet are clear of the blades.
–
Do not start the machine while standing in front
of the discharge chute or with the chute directed
at someone.
–
Do not engage PTO at full throttle. Throttle to
idle or lowest possible engine speed.
–
Do not change engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at
excessive speed can increase the hazard of
personal injury.
Interrupting operation
–
Before leaving the operator's position:
- Park on level ground.
- Disengage the PTO.
- Set the parking brake.
- Shut off the engine and remove the key.
–
Disengage the PTO and wait until the blades
quit rotating:
- before raising cutterdeck;
- when not mowing;
- for transport;
- when crossing surfaces other than grass.
–
Stop the engine, disengage the PTO and wait
until the blades quit rotating:
- before refueling;
- before removing grass catcher;
- before making height adjustment unless the
adjustment can be made from the operator's
position.
–
Stop the engine, disengage the PTO and
disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the
key:
- before clearing blockages or unclogging chute;
- before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine;
- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the
machine for damage and make repairs before
restarting.
- if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally:
Inspect and make repairs as needed before
restarting;
- except for repairs or adjustments as
specifically noted, such as for carburetor
adjustment, where the engine must be
running. Keep hands and feet clear of moving
parts in these circumstances.
–
Allow the blades to come to a complete stop
when stopping operation to clear blockages,
unclog, inspect the machine, do maintenance or
repair.
–
Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut-
down and, if the engine is provided with a shut-
off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of
mowing.
