Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety alert symbol, which means Caution, Warning, or Danger—personal safety instruction. Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death. Safe Operating Practices This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death. Training • Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. • Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator. • Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. • Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. • Do not carry passengers. • 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 control levers. The main reasons for loss of control are: ◊ insufficient wheel grip, especially on wet grass; ◊ being driven too fast; ◊ inadequate braking; ◊ the type of machine is unsuitable for its task; ◊ lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes; ◊ incorrect hitching and load distribution. Preparation • While mowing, always wear substantial, slip-resistant footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals. • Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine. • Warning–Fuel is highly flammable. 3 – 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 fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. – If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated. – Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely. • Replace faulty silencers. • 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. • On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. Operation • 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. • Be alert, slow down and use caution when making turns. Look behind and to the side before changing directions. • Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. • Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. • Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral. • Do not use on slopes greater than 15 degrees. • Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning: – do not stop or start suddenly when on a slope; – use slow speeds on slopes and during tight turns; – stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden hazards; • Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment. – Use only approved drawbar hitch points. – Limit loads to those you can safely control. – Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing. • Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways. • Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other than grass. • When using any attachments, never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation. • Never operate the machine with damaged guards or without safety protective devices in place. • Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal injury. • Before leaving the operator's position: – disengage the power take-off and lower the attachments; – change into neutral and set the parking brake; – stop the engine and remove the key. • Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the ignition key – before clearing blockages or unclogging chute; – before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower; – after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment; if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately). • Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or not in use. • Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment – before refuelling; – before removing the grass catcher; – before making height adjustment unless adjustment can be made from the operator's position. • Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if the engine is provided with a shutoff valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing. Maintenance and Storage • Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. • Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame or spark. • Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. • To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. • Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration. • Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. • If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. • On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. • When machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used. 4
