Honda H6522 Owner's Manual page 9

(7) Before allowing other people to use your tractor, explain proper
operation to them and have them read this manual. It is your legal
obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation.
(8) Never wear loose, torn, or bulky clothing around the tractor. They
may be caught on moving parts or controls, increasing the risk of an
accident. Use additional safety items (hard hat, safety boots or
shoes, eye and hearing protection, gloves, etc.) as appropriate or
required.
(g) Do not allow passengers or non-,qualified operators on the tractor at
any time. The tractor is designed for only one occupant.
(IO) Check brakes, clutch, and other mechanical parts for adjustment and
wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Check the tightness
of all nuts and bolts regularly. (For further details, see
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS.)
(11) Keep your tractor clean. Dirt, grease, and trash accumulations con-
tribute to fires and may lead to personal injury.
(12) Use only implements meeting the specifications listed under IMPLE-
MENT LIMITATIONS in this manual. Use the recommended counter
weights to maintain the balance of the tractor and reduce the risk of
upsets. Follow the safe operating procedures specified in the
manuals included with the equipment.
(13) The Honda H6522 tractor is not factory equipped with a spark ar-
rester. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a
USDA-qualified spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations
before operating. An optional spark arrester is available from an
authorized Honda tractor dealer.
2. Operating the tractor
(1) Never start engine or operate levers from anywhere other than the
seat.
(2) Before, starting the engine, make sure that all levers (including aux-
iliary control levers) are in their neutral positions, that the parking
brake is engaged, and that both the clutch and the Power Take Off
(PTO) are disengaged. Fasten the seat belt if the tractor has a ROPS.
(3) Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals or bypassing
the safety start switch. The machine may start in gear and move if
normal starting circuitry is bypassed.
