1. read the oPerator’S
manual thoroughly!
Operator’s Manuals address the use and
reasonably foreseeable misuse of the

employees familiar with the operation of
the mowers, their capabilities and their
limitations. Engineers who designed the
machines are also involved in the writing of
the Operator’s Manuals.
Keep the Operator’s Manual in a place
where you can find it when needed.
Pay particular attention to the safety
instructions. Insist that all individuals who
will be operating the mower read and
understand the Operator’s Manual and this
brochure at the beginning of each mowing
season.
