SAFETY

SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR RIDE-ON MOWERS

DO NOT

Do not

turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,

turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
Do not

mow near drop-off, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could suddenly turn
over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch,
or if an edge caves in.
Do not

mow on wet grass. Reduced traction

could cause sliding.
Do not

try to stabilize the machine by putting your

foot on the ground.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not

alert to the presence of children. Children are
often attracted to the machine and the mowing
activity. Never assume that children will remain

where you last saw them.

NEVER

allow children to operate the machine.

Keep children out of the mowing area and under

the watchful care of another responsible adult.
Be alert and turn off the machine if children enter

the area.
Before and when backing, look behind and

down

for small children.
Never carry children. They may fall off and be

seriously injured or interfere with safe machine
operation.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners,

shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
vision.

SERVICE

The operation of any mower can result in foreign

objects thrown into the eyes, which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating your
mower or performing any adjustments or repairs.
We recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles or standard safety glasses.

Use extra care in handling gasoline and other

fuels. They are flammable and vapors are
explosive.

- Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the

engine running.

- Allow engine to cool before refueling.

- Do not smoke.

- Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel container

inside where there is an open flame, such as
a water heater.

Never run a machine inside a closed area.

Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment

bolts, tight and keep equipment in good
condition.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check for

proper operation regularly.
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other

debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow
machine to cool before storing.
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an

object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
Never make adjustments or repairs with the

engine running.
Grass catcher components are subject to wear,

damage, and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
frequently check components and replace
with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when
necessary.
mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the

blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution
when servicing them.
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and

service as shown in the Operator’s manual.
