Preparation
•
While operating the machine, always wear substantial,
slip-resistant footwear, long trousers, hard hat, safety
glasses, and ear protection. Long hair, loose clothing, or
jewelry may get tangled in moving parts. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
•
Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and
attachments are needed to properly and safely perform
the job. Use only accessories and attachments approved
by the manufacturer.
•
Ensure that the operator's presence controls, safety
switches, and shields are attached and functioning
properly. Do not operate unless they are functioning
properly.
Operation
•
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide and other exhaust gasses
can collect.
•
Operate only in daylight or in good artificial light.
•
Before attempting to start the engine, shift into neutral,
and engage the parking brake.
•
Do not put your hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
•
Using the machine demands attention. To prevent tipping
or loss of control:
–
Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
–
Use caution when operating the machine on a steep
slope. Reduce your speed when making sharp turns
or when turning on hillsides.
–
Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to full forward without first coming to a
complete stop.
–
Before backing up, look to the rear and ensure that
no one is behind the machine.
–
Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right of way.
•
Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.
–
Use only approved hitch points.
–
Limit loads to those that you can safely control.
–
Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
•
Never operate the machine with damaged guards, shields,
or without protective safety devices in place. Be sure all
interlocks are attached, adjusted properly, and functioning
properly.
•
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed
the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed may
increase the hazard of personal injury.
•
Before leaving the operator's position:
–
stop on level ground;
–
move the control handles to the neutral position;
–
set the parking brake;
–
stop the engine and remove the key.
•
Raise the attachment when you transport the machine.
•
Stop the engine in the following situations:
–
before fuelling;
–
before checking, cleaning, or working on the machine;
–
after striking a foreign object or if an abnormal
vibration occurs. Inspect the machine for damage
and make repairs before starting again and operating
the equipment.
•
Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out.
•
Raise the attachment before backing up.
•
Look behind and down before backing up, to be sure of
a clear path.
•
Slow down and use caution when making turns and
crossing roads and sidewalks.
•
Do not operate the machine under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
•
Lightning can cause severe injury or death. If lightning
is seen or thunder is heard in the area, do not operate
the machine; seek shelter.
•
Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a
trailer or truck.
•
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure vision.
Rollover Protection System
(ROPS)—Use and Maintenance
•
The ROPS is an integral and effective safety device. Keep
a folding ROPS in the raised and locked position and use
the seat belt when operating the machine.
•
Lower a folding ROPS temporarily only when absolutely
necessary. Do not wear the seat belt when folded down.
•
Be aware there is no rollover protection when a folded
ROPS is in the down position.
•
Be certain that the seat belt can be released quickly in
the event of an emergency.
•
Check the area to be mowed and never fold down a
folding ROPS in areas where there are slopes, drop offs
or water.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,
doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any
objects and do not contact them.
•
Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
periodically thoroughly inspecting for damage and
keeping all mounting fasteners tight.
•
Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or revise.
•
Do not
remove the ROPS.
•
Any alterations to a ROPS must be approved by the
manufacturer.
