OPERATING PROCEDURE __________________________________________________
1.
Always start the engine with the operator in the seat, never while next to the mower. Never start the engine with
persons near the mower.
2.
Never operate the engine without enough ventilation or in an enclosed area. The carbon monoxide in the exhaust
fumes can increase to dangerous levels.
3.
Keep your hands and feet away from moving parts and the cutting units. When possible, do not adjust the mower
with the engine started.
4.
Do not operate the mower with loose or damaged components. All components must be correctly fastened to the
mower. Mow when the grass is dry to get the best results.
5.
First cut in a test area so that you completely understand the operation of the tractor and controls.
6.
Inspect the area to find the safest procedure for the mower. Check the height of the grass, the type of terrain and
the conditions of the surface. Each condition needs the correct adjustments and precautions.
7.
Do not release the cut grass in the direction of persons
or allow persons near the mower while in operation. The
owner and operator are responsible for injuries caused to persons near the mower and any damage to their
property.
8.
Be careful when you operate near to gravel areas (roads, parking areas, cart paths). Stones released from the
equipment can cause injuries to persons and cause damage to the equipment.
9.
When you are not mowing grass, always turn off the PTO switch.
10.
Before you move across or operate on the paths or roads, turn off the PTO switch, lift the mowers and travel at
decreased speed. Look for traffic.
11.
When you hit an object or mower starts to cause vibration that is not normal, inspect the mower for damage and
make repairs.
12.
Travel at decreased speed and be careful when you operate on the slopes or near sharp edges.
13.
When you drive in the reverse direction, look behind you and down to make sure the path is clear. Use caution
when you go near corners, trees or other objects that can prevent a clear view.
14.
Never use your hands to clean the cutting units. Use a brush to remove the grass clippings from the blades. The
blades are sharp and can cause injuries.
