•
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.
•
Do not leave a running product unattended. Always
park on level ground, disengage the attachment, set
parking brake, and stop product.
•
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
product, 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.
•
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down, behind and to the side before
changing directions or backing up. A careless action
can cause inflict death or severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
2.4.4 CHILDREN SPECIFIC
•
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the product and the mowing activity.
Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
•
Keep children out of the operating area and under
the watchful care of another responsible adult other
than the operator.
•
Do not carry children, even with the blade(s) off.
Children could fall off and be seriously injured or
interfere with safe operation. Children who have
been given rides in the past could suddenly appear
in the mowing area for another ride and be run over
or backed over by the product.
2.4.5 USE A RAMP
•
When loading or unloading the product from a
trailer, always use full width ramps that extend
beyond the width of the product.
•
This provides a surface for the mower frame to
contact if the unit starts to tip backwards. It also
reduces the risk of a wheel going off and the product
tipping over.
English
•
Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between the ramp
and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer
or truck.
•
Become familiar with the mower's controls and
confident in its smooth operation before attempting
to drive it up or down a ramp.
•
Use slow drive mode and drive carefully.
•
Avoid any sudden movement of the controls and use
only slow, even acceleration.
2.4.6 TOWING
•
Tow only with a product that has a hitch designed
for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at
the hitch point.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for
weight limits for towed equipment and towing on
slopes. (Reference 7.1.2)
•
Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
•
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
•
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
2.4.7 SERVICE
•
Keep product in good working order. Replace worn
or damaged parts.
•
Use caution when servicing blades. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves. Replace damaged blades.
Do not repair or alter blade(s).
•
Do not charge ride-on mower in rain, or wet
locations.
•
Store idle ride-on mower indoors - When not in use,
ride-on mower should be stored in an indoor dry and
locked-up place - out of reach of children.
•
Turn off and remove start key before servicing,
cleaning, or removing material from the ride-on
mower.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
2.4.8 SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to accidents.
Operation on slopes requires extra caution. To reduce
the risk of injury, never operate the product under
any condition where you experience wheel slipping or
sliding, or where wheel traction or mower stability and
control are in doubt. The product may slide even if the
wheels are stopped. These conditions increase the risk
of roll over.
