MOWING AREA
•
Before mowing any area, thoroughly inspect the area for
any hazards. Walk the area to ensure there is adequate
traction and no holes, drop-offs, or hidden objects that
could cause issues. Clear the area of objects such as
rocks, wire, toys, etc., which could be thrown by the
blades.
•
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
•
Plan your mowing pattern in such a way as to avoid
discharging material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders,
vehicles, windows, etc. Do not discharge material against
a wall or obstruction. Doing so may cause the discharged
material to ricochet back toward the operator.
•
Do not mow anything but grasses.
•
Stop the blades when crossing dirt, gravel, or paved
surfaces.
•
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the
mower in the rain or in wet or damp grass. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not expose to water or operate
on wet ground.
2.4
MOWING
•
For riding mower models, always remain seated while
operating machine.
•
Do not operate on inclines greater than 15 degrees.
•
Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Never
rush a mowing job.
•
Never attempt high-speed maneuvering, especially in
crowded, congested areas or on slopes.
•
In order to avoid contact with the blade or injury caused
by a thrown object, stay in the operating zone behind the
handles, and keep children and bystanders at least 100ft
(30m) away from the mower while it is in operation. Stop
the motor immediately if someone enters the mowing
area.
•
Look down and behind before and while moving
backwards.
English
•
Slow down before turning.
•
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
•
When moving in reverse, SLOWLY pull right and left
Drive Control Levers rearward and avoid sudden
movements. Rapid movement of the Drive Control
Levers in either direction could result in a reaction of the
machine that can cause serious injury.
•
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the
cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands
and feet.
•
If the mower starts to vibrate excessively, stop the motor
and check for the cause immediately. Excessive vibration
is generally a sign the mower is not functioning properly.
•
Stop the motor and wait until the blade comes to a
complete stop before unclogging the chute. The cutting
blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the
motor is shut off. Do not place any part of your body in
the blade area until you are sure that the blade has
stopped rotating.
•
If lawnmower strikes a foreign object, stop the machine,
rotate the ignition switch to "OFF" position, then, if it is
safe, inspect for damage.
•
Don't force the lawnmower.
•
Do not use the mower for any job except that for which it
is intended.
2.5
SERVICING
•
Turn off and remove key before servicing, cleaning, or
removing material from the ride-on mower.
•
Do not reach under blade guard. Keep hands, feet, and
clothing way from rotating blades.
•
To reduce personal risk and damage to the machine, never
clean with pressure washer.
•
Maintain your mower. Keep cutting edges sharp and
clean to ensure the best performance and safe operation.
2.6
CHILD SAFETY
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
•
Never leave machine unattended with key in switch,
especially with children present.
•
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
•
Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this
mower. Children who are 14 years of age and older must
read and understand the operating instructions and safety
rules in this manual, and must be trained and supervised
by a parent.
•
Always disengage deck blade switch and turn key to
"OFF" position and remove key.
