Safety
T his mac hine meets or ex ceeds CEN standard EN
836:1997 (when appropriate decals applied), and ANSI
B71.4-1999 specifications in effect at the time of
production when equipped with required w eights as
listed in the w eight c har t.
Improper use or maintenance b y the operator or o wner
can result in injur y . T o reduce the potential for injur y ,
comply with these safety instr uctions and alw a ys pa y
attention to the safety aler t symbol, whic h means
CA UTION , W ARNING , or D ANGER-“personal
safety instr uction." F ailure to comply with the
instr uction ma y result in personal injur y or death.
Safe Operating PracticesT he follo wing instr uctions are from the CEN standard
EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990, and ANSI
B71.4-1999.
Training
•R ead the operator’ s man ual and other training
material carefully . Be familiar with the controls ,
safety signs , and the proper use of the equipment.
•If the operator or mec hanic can not read
the languag e of this man ual, it is the o wner’ s
responsibility to explain this material to them.
•Nev er allo w c hildren or people unfamiliar with
these instr uctions to use or ser vice the mo w er .
Local regulations ma y restrict the ag e of the
operator .
•Nev er mo w while people , especially c hildren, or
pets are nearb y .
•K ee p in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occur ring to
other people or their proper ty .
•Do not car r y passeng ers .
•All dri v ers and mec hanics should seek and obtain
professional and practical instr uction. T he o wner is
responsible for training the users . Suc h instr uction
should emphasize:
– the need for care and concentration when
w orking with ride-on mac hines;
– control of a ride-on mac hine sliding on a slope
will not be reg ained b y the application of the
brak e . T he main reasons for loss of control are:
◊ insufficient wheel g rip;
◊ being dri v en too fast;
◊ inadequate braking;
◊ the type of mac hine is unsuitable for the
task;
◊ lac k of a w areness of the effect of g round
conditions , especially slopes;
•T he o wner/user can prev ent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries occur ring to himself or herself ,
other people , or proper ty .
Preparation
•W hile mo wing, alw a ys w ear substantial footw ear ,
long trousers , hard hat, safety glasses , and hearing
protection. Long hair , loose clothing, or jew elr y
ma y g et tangled in mo ving par ts . Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or w earing open
sandals .
•T horoughly inspect the area where the equipment
is to be used and remo v e all objects whic h ma y be
thro wn b y the mac hine .
•W ar ning-Fuel is highly flammable . T ak e the
follo wing precautions:
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this pur pose .
– R efuel outdoors only and do not smok e while
refueling .
– Add fuel before star ting the engine . Nev er
remo v e the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is r unning or when the engine
is hot.
– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to star t the
engine but mo v e the mac hine a w a y from the
area of spillag e and a v oid creating any source
of ignition until fuel v apors ha v e dissipated.
– R e place all fuel tank and container caps
securely .
•R e place faulty silencers/m ufflers .
•Ev aluate the ter rain to deter mine what accessories
and attac hments are needed to properly and
safely perfor m the job . Only use accessories and
attac hments appro v ed b y the man ufacturer .
•Chec k that operator’ s presence controls , safety
switc hes and shields are attac hed and functioning
properly . Do not operate unless they are
functioning properly .
Operation
•Do not operate the engine in a confined space
where dang erous carbon mono xide fumes can
collect.
