1.6 User Clothing
DO NOT operate the mower while wearing sandals, tennis shoes, sneakers, or shorts. Always wear long
non-baggy pants. Wear high-top leather work boots with thick, textured tread, soft-rubber soled at all times.
Hard or smooth soled shoes are too slippery for a good footing on mower platform. NEVER wear loose-
fitting clothing or jacket pockets that can get caught to the handlebars or control levers of any mower you
drive. Wearing safety glasses, ear protection and safety shoes is advisable and required by some local
ordinances and insurance regulations.
1.7 Inspect the Mower Before Each Use
DO NOT use the mower if any parts are not maintained in good operating condition. Examine the moving
parts prior to each use. Look for excessive wear, bald or worn tires, cracks in parts, loose or missing bolts,
cotter, linchpin or “hair” pins or cable yoke pins and replace before operating the mower. Make sure all
safety equipment provided with the mower is in good operating order, including all the warning decals and
the required operator-presence device which stops the engine and blades when the foot-operated Operator
Presence Control (OPC) switch is released. (To test the OPC, follow instructions in the Operating
Instructions section of this manual.) Inspect the two anti-tip rollers and their respective bolts at the rear of
the mower for tightness and proper operation. Be sure that all parts of the hand-operated transmission
control system are tight and secure. This is to reduce the possibility that the mower could have a loss of
control or safety.
