SAFETY<br />
Personal Safety Equipment<br />
WARNING!<br />
When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment (shown in illustrations)<br />
shall be used. Personal protective equipment <strong>ca</strong>nnot eliminate the risk of injury but it<br />
will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does 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 <strong>ca</strong>ps.<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 <strong>ca</strong>n get <strong>ca</strong>ught 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 <strong>ca</strong>n result in severe injury or<br />
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra <strong>ca</strong>ution.<br />
If you <strong>ca</strong>nnot 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 <strong>ca</strong>n 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 <strong>ca</strong>use machine to roll over.<br />
• Use extra <strong>ca</strong>re while operating machine with<br />
grass <strong>ca</strong>tchers or other attachments; they <strong>ca</strong>n<br />
affect the stability of the machine.<br />
• Do not use on steep slopes.<br />
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a<br />
foot on the ground.<br />
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or<br />
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll<br />
over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge<br />
<strong>ca</strong>ves in.<br />
Personal protective equipment<br />
Mow up and down, not side to side<br />
WARNING!<br />
Do not drive up or down hills with<br />
slopes greater than 10 degrees. Do<br />
not drive across any slopes.<br />
