SAFETY
Care should always be taken when mounting and
dismounting a riding machine. Prevent injuries and
falls by making sure the operator does not slip.
Unless it is an emergency, do not jump off a machine.
Injury may result when an operator's foot slips trying to
jump from a machine.
If required to lift, an operator should ask for help if the
object is too heavy. The operator should lift with the
legs instead of the back. Care should be taken to
avoid twisting the back while lifting a heavy load.
Never allow children to operate the machine.
THE MACHINE:
Do not modify the machine in any manner. Always
check the machine to make sure it is in good working
order.
Tow vehicles must have adequate hitches and brakes
to control any towed machine. Check the weight and
capacity of the machine that will be towed by that
vehicle.
Do not place hands or feet near moving or rotating
parts. Check that all guards are functional and
properly installed. Do not operate a machine without
all guards installed.
Check the condition of the hydraulic hoses. Leaks and
worn hoses should be fixed or replaced before the
machine is put into service. Do not use your fingers or
hands to check for hydraulic leaks. High pressure
leaks can puncture the skin and force oil into the body.
This can cause severe injury or death.
Check tires. Inflate to pressure shown on tire.
Check to assure that all controls are in good operating
condition.
Check to assure that the brakes are operating
properly.
Do not overload machinery. The components are
designed
for
certain
weights
and
capacities.
Overloading machine will cause unsafe conditions.
Shut off the engine before servicing the machine.
Check machines on a level area. Machines on a slope
may roll when the engine is off.
Refer unfamiliar repairs and adjustments to mechanics
that have been trained to do them properly.
Replace decals that are damaged or illegible.
THE ENGINE:
Do not run the engine in an enclosed area. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odorless
and deadly poison.
The engine exhaust from this
product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Do not refuel machines indoors or in an unventilated
area. Do not over fill. Do not add fuel while the
machine is hot because spilled fuel may cause a fire.
Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then
pull the cord rapidly to avoid kickback and to prevent
hand or arm injury.
Use fresh gasoline. Stale fuel can gum the carburetor
and can cause leakage. Check the fuel lines and
fittings frequently for cracks and leaks.
Do not remove the fuel tank cap or fill fuel tank while
the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool
before refueling.
Do not operate the engine if gasoline is spilled. Do not
operate the engine when the smell of gasoline is
present or if any other explosive conditions exist.
Move the equipment away from the spill and avoid any
ignition until the gasoline has evaporated.
Do not store, spill, or use gasoline near an open flame.
Do not store, spill, or use gasoline near a stove,
furnace, water heater, or appliance that uses a pilot
light or can create sparks.
Do not choke the carburetor to stop the engine.
Whenever possible, gradually reduce the engine
speed before stopping.
Do not tamper with the governor springs, links or other
parts to increase the engine speed. Run the engine at
the speed set by the equipment manufacturer.
Keep the cylinder fins and the governor parts free of
dirt, grass, and debris which can affect engine speed.
Do not transport the engine with fuel in the tank.
Prevent accidental starting by removing the spark plug
wire(s) when servicing the engine or the equipment.
Disconnect the negative wire from the battery terminal
if the engine is equipped with an electric starting
system.
Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or any hard
object. This may cause the flywheel to shatter during
operation. Use the correct tools to service the
machine.
Do not check for a ignition spark with the spark plug
removed. Use an approved tester.
Do not crank the engine with the spark plug removed.
If the engine is flooded, place the throttle in fast and
crank until the engine starts.
Do not start the engine with the air cleaner and/or the
air cleaner cover removed. Do not operate the engine
without a muffler. Replace the muffler if it is leaking or
worn. Replace only with correct muffler. Do not touch
a hot muffler, cylinder, or fin. It will cause burns.
Do not operate the engine with an accumulation of
grass, leaves, or other combustible material in the
muffler area.
Do not use the engine on any forest covered, brush
covered, or grass covered unimproved land unless a
spark arrester is installed in the muffler. The spark
arrester must be maintained in good working order. In
the State of California, the above is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources
Code). Other state may have similar laws. Federal
laws apply on federal lands.
This list includes many, but not all, general
safety instructions as they relate to turf
equipment. Common sense must always be
used to determine the safest way to operate a
machine under specific conditions.
