Operating Safety
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator.
If it is misused,
or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you
are responsible for your safety and that of those around you. Use
common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are not
sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done with
the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your
local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware of
BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and
controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the
most out of your equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on
the following pages. Also completely read the OPERATION section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often
attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume
that children will remain where you last saw them. If there is
a risk that children may enter the area where you are
mowing, have another responsible adult watch them.
DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES ON THIS UNIT! This
encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it
is running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then
approach the unit for a ride when you are not expecting it,
and you may run over them.
Reverse
Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary. Always look
down and behind before and
while traveling in reverse
even with the mower
blades disengaged.
