Safety Mechanisms
This product is equipped with the following safety mechanisms.
Engine can be started only when parking brake is in [ (engaged)] position and cutting
rotary clutch in [OFF] position. This is to prevent unintended movement of machine or cutting
blade when starting engine.
Start Interlock Mechanism
Engine stops if operator is not seated while cutting blade is rotating. This is to reduce the
possibility of accident related to moving blade when machine is turned over.
Automatic Blade Stopping Mechanism
Automatic Vehicle Stopping Mechanism
When machine is operated by drive lever and seat is tilted backwards, drive lever returns to
[ (neutral)] position and machine stops. This is to reduce the possibility where operator is
caught by branches when he or she is cutting under the tree. Drive pedal is not linked to this
mechanism because it automatically returns to neutral when released.

This section contains safety precautions to follow when operating and maintaining the
machine. Read and understand the precautions in this section as well as throughout this
manual and follow them when operating or maintaining the machine. Failure to follow safety
precautions could result in property damage, serious injury or death to the operator or
bystanders.
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

→ insufcient grip of tires.
→ excessive speed.
→ misjudging of the ground conditions, especially slopes.
Training

Safety 1
-5-
• Fuel is highly ammable. See Checking and Filling Fuel, page 17, for important
safety information on handling fuel.
• Always wear 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 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, mufer or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or
soon after it has stopped. These areas will become 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 tip 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 unfamiliar terrain. Be
alert when traveling on changing terrain.
• Never operate on terrain that you are not comfortable with. Avoid 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 cliff, an overhang or a slide 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.

Driving on a Slope
• Always follow proper procedures for driving on a slope as described in this manual.
• Driving on a 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 a 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 a 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 a slope.
• Before driving down a slope, stop and shift auxiliary transmission to [LOW] position.
Drive slowly. Use the engine speed to help keep the machine speed low.
• Never use on a slope steeper than 25 degrees for CMX222 or 15 degrees for
CM223.
• Driving on a slope can be dangerous. It can result in a tip over and cause
serious injury or death. Take the following precautions.

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 a slope.
• Never park on an instable surface. Do not park near the edge of a cliff.
• Observe all the previous precautions for driving, driving on a slope and cutting.
• 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 ammable 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.
Cutting
When conducting cutting operation, take the following precautions.
• Always follow the proper procedures for cutting as described in this manual.
• Shutt off the work site. Post signs to inform of the cutting operation. Close off the
site with rope if necessary to keep people, especially children, off 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.

Servicing
• Do not service the machine when the engine is running. If it is absolutely necessary
to run the engine while servicing, beware of 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 suf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, muf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 off before checking or adding oil.
