SAFETY<br />

Personal Safety Equipment<br />

WARNING!<br />

When using the machine, approved<br />

personal protective equipment (shown<br />

in illustrations) shall be used. Personal<br />

protective equipment cannot eliminate<br />

the risk of injury but it will reduce the<br />

degree of injury if an accident does<br />

happen. Ask your retailer for help in<br />

choosing the right equipment.<br />

• Make sure that you have first aid equipment close<br />

at hand when using the machine.<br />

• Never use the machine when barefoot.<br />

• Always wear protective shoes or boots, preferably<br />

with steel toe caps.<br />

• Always wear approved protective glasses or a full<br />

visor when assembling or driving.<br />

• Always wear gloves when handling the blades.<br />

• Never wear loose clothing that can get caught in<br />

moving parts.<br />

• Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.<br />

Slope Operation<br />

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and<br />

tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or<br />

death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution.<br />

If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy<br />

on it, do not mow it.<br />

• Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees maximum),<br />

not across.<br />

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other<br />

hidden objects. Uneven terrain could over<strong>turn</strong> the<br />

machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.<br />

• Choose a low ground speed so that you will not<br />

have to stop while on the slope.<br />

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.<br />

• Avoid starting, stopping, or <strong>turn</strong>ing on a slope. If<br />

the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and<br />

proceed slowly straight down the slope.<br />

• Keep movement on the slopes slow and gradual.<br />

Do not make sudden changes in speed or<br />

direction, which could cause machine to roll over.<br />

• Use extra care while operating machine with<br />

grass catchers or other attachments; they can<br />

affect the stability of the machine.<br />

• Do not use on steep slopes.<br />

Personal protective equipment<br />

Mow up and down, not side to side<br />

WARNING!<br />

6003-004<br />

Do not drive up or down hills with slopes<br />

greater than 10 degrees. Do not drive<br />

across any slopes.<br />
