These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury. • Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to other people or property. • All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. • Always wear substantial footwear and trousers. Never operate when barefoot or wearing sandals. • Before using, always visually check that the blades and blade hardware are present, intact, and secure. Replace worn or damaged parts. • Never operate the machine with defective guards, or without safety protective devices in place. • Disengage attachments before: refueling, removing an attachment, making adjustments (unless the adjustment can be made from the operator’s position). • When the machine is parked, stored, or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used. • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights. • Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and remove the key. • To reduce fire hazard, keep the unit free of grass, leaves, & excess oil. Do not stop or park over dry leaves, grass, or combustible materials. TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE • When transporting the unit on an open trailer, make sure it is facing forward, in the direction of travel. If the unit is facing backwards, wind lift could damage the hood. • Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the tractor after transportation or storage. • Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals. • Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage preparations before storing the tractor for both short and long term periods. • Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to service. • Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a water heater. Allow unit to cool before storing. 2 TP 600-2459-03-UV-SMA Safety Rules and Information SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip- over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it. 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: insufficient tire grip on the ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of machine is unsuitable for it’s task, lack of awareness of the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.
