SAFETY RULES Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers IMPORTANT: This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. I. TRAINING • Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the con trols and the proper use of the equipment. • Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the ins truc tions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may 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 prac ti cal instruction. Such instruction should em pha size: - the need for care and concentration when work ing with ride-on machines; - control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake. The main reasons for loss of control are: a) insufficient wheel grip; b) being driven too fast; c) inadequate braking; d) the type of machine is unsuitable for its task; e) lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions,especially slopes; f) incorrect hitching and load distribution. II. PREPARATION • To reduce the risk of fire - before use, when refueling and at the end of each mowing session - inspect and remove any debris buildup from the tractor, mower and behind al guards. • While mowing, always wear substantial 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 - Petrol is highly flammable. -Store fuel in containers specifically de signed for this pur pose. -Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while re fu el ing. - Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the en gine is hot. - If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid cre at ing any source of ig ni tion until petrol vapors have dis si pat ed. -Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely. III. OPERATION • Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dan ger ous 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 of more than 5°. • 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 going up or down hill; - engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear, especially when traveling down hill; -machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during tight turns; -stay alert for humps and hollows and oth er hidden haz ards; - never mow across the face of the slope, unless the lawnmower is designed for this pur pose. • 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 re vers ing. - Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when sug gest ed in the instruction hand book. • Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways. • Stop the blades from 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 lawnmower with defective guards, shields or without safety protective devices in place. • 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: -disengage the power take-off and lower the at tach ments; -change into neutral and set the parking brake; -stop the engine and remove the key. • Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine, and dis con nect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the ignition key -before cleaning blockages or unclogging chute; -before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower; - after striking a foreign object.
