Safety

Safe Operation Practices for
Ride-on (riding) Rotary
Lawnmower Machines

Training

1.

Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
the controls and the proper use of the equipment.

2.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

3.

Never mow while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.

4.

Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to
other people or their property.

5.

Do not carry passengers.

6.

All drivers should seek and obtain professional
and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:

the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines;

control of a ride-on machine sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the application
of the brake. The main reasons for loss of
control are:

insufficient wheel grip;

being driven too fast;

inadequate braking;

the type of machine is unsuitable for its
task;

lack of awareness of the effects of
ground conditions, especially slopes;

incorrect hitching and load distribution.

Preparation

1.

While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the
equipment when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.

2.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all objects
which may be thrown by the machine.

3.

WARNING – Petrol is highly flammable.

Store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose.

Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refuelling.

Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add
petrol while the engine is running or when
the engine is hot.

If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start
the engine but move the machine away
from the are of spillage and avoid creating
any source of ignition until petrol vapors
have dissipated.

Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.

4.

Replace faulty silencers.

5.

Before using, always visually inspect to see that
the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are
not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged
blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

6.

On multi–bladed machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
