Personal Safety Equipment
WARNING!
When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment (shown in
illustrations) shall be used. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk
of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your
retailer for help in choosing the right equipment.
•
Make sure that you have first aid equipment
close at hand when using the machine.
•
Never use the machine when barefoot.
Always wear protective shoes or boots,
preferably with steel toe caps.
•
Always wear approved protective glasses or
a full visor when assembling or driving.
•
Always wear gloves when handling the
blades.
•
Never wear loose clothing that can get
caught in moving parts.
•
Use ear protectors to avoid damage to
hearing.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control or
machine tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra
caution. If you cannot reverse up the slope or if you
feel unsure, do not mow it.
•
Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees
maximum), not across.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
•
Choose a low ground speed so that you will
not have to stop while on the slope.
•
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose
traction.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a
slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the
blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
•
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in
speed or direction, which could cause the
machine to roll over.
