SAFETY
SAFETY REMINDERS: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATION
1.
Wear appropriate, safe clothing when mowing - close fitting jeans or slacks and heavy leather
or safety shoes with rough soles. Never operate this mower with bare feet or open sandals.
2.
Do not operate on wet or slippery grass.
3.
Always mow at the slowest speed that will cut satisfactorily.
4.
Keep hands and feet away from the blade at all times.
5.
Keep persons clear of the discharge chute. Do not operate mower unless deflector is in place.
6.
When mowing hills or slopes, use extreme caution. Reduce speed, do not make sudden starts,
stops or turns.
7.
Always disengage blades before taking the mower across walks or objects that project above
the surface.
8.
Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain, and other hazards. Keep away from
drop-offs.
9.
When the mower is not in use, turn the engine off and remove key. Never leave the engine
running unattended. Your Dixon mower is equipped with a weight-sensitive switch that kills the
engine when operator leaves the seat while blades are engaged.
Note: This important safety feature must be tested prior to each mowing. This may be done by starting
engine, engaging blades and then rising slightly from seat. If engine
does not stop,
see your
dealer for necessary repair.
10.
Before adjusting or servicing your mower, turn off the engine and let it cool. Be sure all moving
parts are stopped. Never run the 5421 with the body open.
11.
Never run the engine indoors; the fumes are dangerous.
12.
Before backing your Dixon Mower; stop,
turn around and look.
13.
Handle gasoline with care - it is highly flammable.
A.
Use approved gasoline container.
B.
Never remove the fuel cap of, or add gasoline to, a running or hot engine, or
an engine that has not been allowed to cool after running. Never fill the tank
indoors and always clean up spilled gasoline.
C.
Never store the mower, with gasoline in the tank, inside the building where
fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
