Safe Operating Practices
Training
Read this manual and other training material
carefully. Be familiar with the controls, safety
signs, and the proper use of the equipment.
If the operator or mechanic can not read
English it is the owner's responsibility to
explain this manual to them.
All operators and mechanics should seek
and obtain professional and practical
instruction.
The owner is responsible for training the
users.
Such instruction should emphasize.
The need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines.
Control of a ride-on machine sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the
application of the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are
Insufficient wheel grip
Being driven too fast
Inadequate braking
The type of machine is unsuitable for its
task
Lack of awareness of the effect of
ground conditions, especially slopes
Incorrect hitching and load distribution

Page 1-2 Safe Operating Practices

If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from
the area of spillage and avoid creating any
source of ignition until petrol vapours have
dissipated.
Replace all fuel tanks and container caps
securely.
Check that operator's presence controls,
safety switches and shields are attached and
functioning properly.
Do not operate unless they are functioning
properly.
If the brake operation is faulty, be sure to
adjust or repair them before operating the
machine.
Replace faulty mufflers.
Operation

Safe Operating Practices

When transporting the machine on a truck or
a trailer, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and fasten the machine to the truck
with a rope or other suitable restraining
device that has sufficient strength.
When using a loading ramp, select one with
sufficient strength, length, and width and that
will not cause the machine to slip.
Close the fuel valve before transporting the
machine.
Use care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure vision.
Do not take your eyes off the road ahead.
Do not operate the machine with no hands.
Reduce the throttle setting during engine
run-out and, if the engine is provided with a
shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the
conclusion of operation.
Do not operate the machine when there is
the risk of lightning.
Maintenance and Storage
Disengage drives on level ground, set
parking brake, stop engine and remove key
from ignition.
Wait for all movement to stop before
adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer/muffler, battery compartment fuel
storage area, attachments and drives free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
Only cover the machine with a sheet after
hot parts have sufficiently cooled down.
Never store the equipment with fuel in the
tank inside a building where fumes may
reach an open flame or spark.
If the engine is provided with a shut-off
valve, shut off valve while storing or
transporting.
Do not store fuel near flames.
Never allow untrained personnel to service
machine.
Allow the engine/muffler to cool before
checking/maintenance.
Appropriately manage and correctly use the
tools necessary for servicing or adjusting the
machine.

Use jack stands to support components
when required.
Carefully release pressure from components
with stored energy.
Be sure to depressurize the hydraulic system
before performing maintenance operations
on it such as removing hydraulic equipment.
Check whether line connectors in the
hydraulic system are properly tightened.
Before applying hydraulic pressure, check
the connections of the hydraulic pressure
lines and the condition of the hoses.
When checking the hydraulic circuit for
pinhole leaks or oil leakage from nozzles, do
not use your hands.
Use items such as paper or corrugated
cardboard to find leakage points.
Be extremely careful with high-pressure oil
as it may pierce your skin, result.
If fluid is injected into the skin it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result.
Disconnect battery before making any
repairs.
Disconnect the negative terminal first and
the positive last.
Reconnect positive first and negative last.
Make sure that parts such as wires are not
touching each other and that their covers
have not come off.
Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
If possible, do not make adjustments with the
engine running.
Charge batteries in an open well ventilated
area, away from spark and flames.
Unplug charger before connecting or
disconnecting from battery.
Wear protective clothing and use insulated
tools.
Keep all parts in good working condition and
all hardware tightened.
Replace all worn or damaged decals.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this
outdoors.
