Most accidents with walk behind mowers can be prevented if you follow all instruc-
tions in this manual and those posted on the greens mower. The most common haz-
ards are discussed in the following sections, along with the best way to protect your-
self and others.
Wear protective clothing
•It will reduce your riskof injury. Long pants, safety glasses, hard hats, gloves, ear
protection, and sturdy shoes help protect you from thrown objects andother hazards.
Before operating mower
•Look for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
•Look for signs of damage.
•Check each control for proper operation.
•Check all connectors such as nuts, bolts,and screwsto be sure they are properly
tighened.
•Check the blades for wear. Replace as necessary.
•Check that all tires, levers, and brakes are functional.
•Always inspect the machine before operation. Be sure hardware is tight. Repair
or replace damaged, badly worn, or missing parts.
•Inspect guards and shields to be sure they are in good condition and fastened
in place.
•Use only attachments or accessories approved by the manufacturer.
Do not operate the mower
•If you are extremely tired, either physically or mentally.
•If you are sick, under the influence of medication or substances that may affect
your vision or good judgment. Impaired judgment can result in serious injury.
•If you are not properly trained. CAREFULLY READ THE MANUAL. Greens
mower operation requires skill, training, and experience.
•Never permit operation by a minor.
Important Safety Instructions
Safe practices:equipment operation - Continued
•Before starting the engine, disengage the change lever from the reel “on position,”
shift into neutral, and engage the parking brake.
•When using any attachment, never direct discharge of material toward bystanders.
Do not allow anyone near the machine while it is in operation.
•Disengage drive to attachments when they are not in use.
•If you feel abnormal vibration or hear abnormal sound, stop the engine immediately
and inspect the mower for possible damage. Make necessary repairs before restart-
ing and operating the equipment.
•Operate mower at low speed when making sharp turns or descending slopes.
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
•If you strike an object, stop and inspect your equipment. If necessary, repair
before restarting.
•Never attempt to make any adjustment while the engine is running.
•Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
•When equipment is in questionable condition, do not run the engine unless instruct-
ed to do so.
•For safety, the grass basket must be in place during operation of the wheel. Turn
off the engine before removing the basket.
•Do not wear headphones or ear plugs while operating the greens mower. Wear
only appropriate ear protection.
•Use care when loading or unloading the greens mower onto or off a trailer or truck.
•Use good judgment to protect yourself from back injury.
Safe practices: equipment operation
•For your safety and the safety of others, inspect your work area before operating
the mower.
•Review Important Safety Instructions.
•Even if you have operated other mowers, take time to become familiar with the
way this mower works. Practice in a safe area until you build up your skills.
•Avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area. The mower’s exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed
area and cause illness or death.
•Operate the engine at normal speed. Never change the engine governor setting to
permit excessive speed.

6
Safe practices: mowing
•Mow only in daylight or when the area in which you are operating is clearly visible.
If you have a factory light kit fitted to your mower, ensure that you use extreme
caution when operating in low visibility and take extra care when turning and oper-
ating this machine.
•Make certain that the entire machine is seated on the ground, and be careful not to
lose your footing and your control of the mower. Keep a firm grip on the handle
bar and walk, never run, with the mower.
•If the mower becomes stuck, do not kick or shove it with your foot. NEVER use
your hand or finger to remove the stuck debris while the engine is running. Stop
the engine before performing any adjustment, inspection, or maintenance.
Slopes
•When greens are severely undulating or sloped, mow with additional caution.
Avoid slopes of more than 20º and be careful when changing direction. Mowing on
a slope when the grass is damp or wet could cause you to slip, fall, and lose control
of the mower.
In case of emergency
•Turn engine OFF. Do not smoke. Follow your company’s emergency procedures.
•Keep hands away from moving parts.
•Do not make adjustments with the engine running.
Equipment maintenance and storage
•Keep equipment in good condition.
•Be sure all connectors are properly installed and that nuts and bolts (especially the
blade attachment bolt) are tight.
•Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
•Keep machine free of grass,leaves, and other debris build-up. Clean any oil or fuel
spillage promptly. Allow machine to cool before storing.
•Mower parts are sharp and can cause injury. When checking or servicing cutting
units, wrap the blades or wear gloves, and be extremely careful.
•Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed the engine.
•Never store the machine or fuel container near: 1) an open flame or pilot light such
as found in water heaters and other appliances, or 2) appliances such as room
heaters that give off excessive heat when in use.
The other precautions
•
•
Do not rope the engine.
Roping on the filler neck of fuel tank or air cleaner etc. can cause the engine breakage.
Exercise care in roping to avoid wires entanglement.
Roping, entangled with a wire, can cause the wire breakage.
Roping the machine during transportation
•
•
The grass catcher is made of plastic. Weather and/or direct sunlight accelerate
deterioration.
High impact such as slamming the grass catcher on the ground for discharging
clippings can cause its breakage.
Do not make an impact on it.
Handling Grass Catcher
•
•
•
In the case of covering the machine with a sheet etc., wait until the engine cools
down.
In the case of storing the machine, store it on the condition of avoiding weather
and/or direct sunlight. (Weather and/or direct sunlight accelerate corrosion and/or
deterioration and decrease machine life.)
Be sure to empty the fuel tank if the machine is not used for more than six months.
