The potential exposure of the seat belt to severe
environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat
belt system regularly.
It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a
daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that
shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant
discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion
to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch
plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be
replaced immediately.
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
22.
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
NEVER leave the machine running unattended.

ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM

WARNING
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position
and the seat belt securely fastened during
operation. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or loss of life.
This mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution
must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the
grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces
traction and steering control.
Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST
NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could
result in injury or death.
WARNING
There is no roll-over protection when the roll bar
is in the down position.
Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
DO NOT wear the seat belt when the roll bar is in
the down position.
ALWAYS wear seat belt when roll bar is in the up
position.
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns,
starts or stops.
Check the area carefully before mowing for proper
overhead clearance (i.e. branches, doorways,
etc.).
DO NOT contact any overhead object with the
roll bar.
