Safety Mechanisms
This product is equipped with the following safety mechanisms.
The engine can be started only when the parking brake is in [ ] (engaged) position and
the mower clutch in [OFF] position. This is to prevent unintended movement of the machine
or the cutting blade when starting the engine.
Start Interlock Mechanism
The engine stops if the operator is not seated while the mower is running. This is to reduce
the possibility of accident related to moving the blade when the machine is turned over.

Safety Precautions
All operators and mechanics should receive practical instructions from their employer or
renter. Such instructions should cover the following issues:
• It is essential to familiarize yourself with the controls, safety labels and the proper use of
the machine.
• Never allow people unfamiliar with these instructions to operate or service the machine.
Do not let anyone under 18 years of age to operate this machine. Local regulations may
restrict the minimum age for operating the machine. Consult your local authority.
• The operator is responsible for the accidents or hazards caused to other people or their
property.
• This machine has a riding capacity for one person only. Do not carry passengers other
than the operator.
• Observe the weight limit of this machine: 120kg.
• Always keep in mind that care and concentration is required when working with ride-on
machines.
• Loss of control on the slope cannot be regained by an application of the brake. The main
reasons for loss of control are:
→ insu󰀩cient grip of tires.
→ excessive speed.
→ misjudging of the ground conditions, especially gradient.
Training

Safety 1
-5-
• Fuel is highly ammable. See Checking and Filling Fuel, page 17 for important
safety information on handling fuel.
• Always wear the protective footwear, long trousers, hardhat, safety glasses and ear
protection when operating or servicing the machine. Proper clothing will minimize the
chance of injury. Do not operate the equipment if you have long hair, loose clothing, or
jewelry; all of which may get tangled in the moving parts. Do not operate the machine
barefoot or with open sandals.
• Prepare beforehand the working rules and procedures such as signaling and tra󰀩c control
for the work place. Following such rules will reduce the risk of accidents.
• Never handle fuel or grease, service the engine, or recharge the battery in the presence of
re or spark.
• Perform the daily pre-startup inspection (see Preparation, pages 17) before starting the
machine. Repair or replace damaged parts before starting the machine.

Operation
• Do not operate the engine in a conned space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes
can accumulate.
• Do not touch the engine, mu󰀪er or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or soon after
it has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.
• Do not operate the machine under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Do not operate the
machine when you are tired, ill, or not feeling well.
• Always check for obstacles before operating on new terrain. This includes overhead
obstacles such as the branches of a tree.
• Before starting the engine and moving the machine, scan around your surroundings and
make sure all persons and other vehicles are a safe distance away from the machine.
• On a slippery surface, travel slowly and exercise caution to reduce the chance of skidding
or sliding out of control. Never operate on ice.
• Always make certain that there is no obstacle or a person behind the machine when
backing up. After conrming that it is safe to back up, move slowly and avoid sharp turns.
• To reduce the risk of tipping over, pay special attention when encountering an obstacle or
a slope, or when braking on a slope or during a turn. See Driving on a Slope on page 8.
• Never attempt to drive over a large obstacle such as rock or fallen tree.
This machine is intended for cutting grass and bushes. Any other use may pose hazard or
cause damage to the machine.
The stability of the machine is affected by the speed, rate of steering, terrain and the
operator's weight. Always pay close attention to these factors or a loss of control or tip over
could occur, resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.
General Driving

Safety 1
-7-
• Always travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on an unfamiliar terrain. Be
alert when traveling on a changing terrain.
• Never operate on a terrain that you are not comfortable with. Avoid the terrain that is so
rough, slippery or loose that you feel like you could tip over.
• Do not operate the machine near the edge of a cli󰀨, an overhang or a landslide area. Pay
special attention after heavy rain or earthquake.
• Do not make sudden maneuvers. A sudden start, stop, or turn can make the machine lose
control and could cause a tip over. Be especially cautious when traveling on soft or wet
ground.
• Drive at a safe speed, taking into account the surface gradient, surface conditions and
load.
・Pay attention to hole, groove and obstacles. Before operation, confirm hole, groove or
obstacles without fail and operate with enough care. Remove ying o󰀨 material such as
stone or empty can and dumped material, wires which may be convoluted in machine and
start work. If you involute illegally disposed aerosol can for ammable there is a danger of
bursting into ames.

Driving on a Slope
• Always follow proper procedures for driving on the slope as described in this manual.
• Driving on the slope in a wrong manner can cause a loss of control or a vehicle tip over.
Check the terrain carefully before attempting to drive on a slope.
• Never drive on a slope that you are not comfortable with. Avoid the slope that is so rough,
slippery, or loose that you feel like you could tip over.
• When driving up a slope, proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle position.
• Never move the throttle lever, the drive lever, the drive pedal or the steering wheel
suddenly.
• If the engine stalls or loses traction during a climb and cannot make it to the top of the
slope, do not try to turn the machine around. Carefully back down slowly, straight down the
slope.
• Drive straight up or down slopes. Avoid turning on the slope.
• When going over the top of a slope, go slow; an obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle
or person could be on the other side of the crest.
• Avoid driving the machine across the slope.
• Before driving down a slope, stop and shift auxiliary transmission to [L] (low speed)
position. Drive slowly. Use the engine speed to help keep the machine speed low.
• Never use on the slope steeper than 25 degrees for the CMX2502, CMX227H and
CMX186H, and 15 degrees for the CM226H and CM185H.
• Driving on the slope can be dangerous. It can result in a tip over and cause
serious injury or death. Take the following precautions.

Cutting
When conducting cutting operation, take the following precautions.
• Always follow the proper procedures for cutting as described in this manual.
• Shut o󰀨 the work site. Post signs to inform of the cutting operation. Close o󰀨 the site with
rope if necessary to keep people, especially children, o󰀨 the work site.
• Pay attention to the surrounding area. Rotating cutting blade throws stones, rocks and
debris. This may cause property damage, injury, or death.
• Drive forward when cutting. This best prevents the cutting blades from throwing stones,
rocks, or debris.
• Pay attention to obstacles. This includes overhead obstacles such as the branches of a
tree.
Parking
• Park the machine on a at, level and stable surface. Never park on a slope steeper than
10 degrees. Avoid parking on a slope less than 10 degrees. If parking on a slope less than
10 degrees is absolutely unavoidable, apply the parking brake and block the wheels at the
lower end of the machine.
→ Park the machine facing uphill
→ Do not park sideways on the slope.
• Never park on the instable surface. Do not park near the edge of a cli󰀨.
• Observe all the previous precautions for driving, driving on a slope.
• Whenever you park the machine, apply the parking brake and stop the engine. Remove
the key whenever you leave the machine unattended to prevent unauthorized use or
accidental starting.
• Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive. When parking the machine
indoors, make certain that the building is well ventilated and that the machine is not close
to any source of ame or spark, including appliances with pilot lights.

Servicing
• Do not service the machine when the engine is running. If it is absolutely necessary to run
the engine while servicing, pay attention to the moving parts.
• Do not operate the engine in a conned space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes
can accumulate.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in
good condition and leak-free.
• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic
uid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for leaks.
Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure can have su󰀩cient force to penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury.
• Check all fuel lines on a regular basis for tightness and wear. Tighten or repair them as
needed.
• If the engine must be running to perform a service, keep hands, feet, clothing and any
part of the body away from any moving part, especially the cooling fan and the belts at the
back of the engine.
• Do not touch the engine, mu󰀪er, or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or soon after
it has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.
• The engine must be shut o󰀨 before checking or adding oil.
