Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed. GENERAL OPERATION · Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the unit before starting. · Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. · Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the unit (local regulations can restrict operator age). · Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s). · Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop unit if anyone enters the area. · Never carry passengers. · Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while travelling in reverse. · Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or the deflector in place. · Slow down before turning. · Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting. · Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the blades when not mowing. · Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute. · Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. · Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. · Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. · Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit into a trailer or truck. · Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury. · Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to other people or property. · All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. · Always wear substantial footwear and trousers. Never operate when barefoot or wearing sandals. · Before using, always visually check that the blades and blade hardware are present, intact, and secure. Replace worn or damaged parts. · Never operate the machine with defective guards, or without safety protective devices in place. · Disengage attachments before: refueling, removing an attachment, making adjustments (unless the adjustment can be made from the operator’s position). · When the machine is parked, stored, or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used. · Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights. · Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and remove the key. · To reduce fire hazard, keep the unit free of grass, leaves, & excess oil. Do not stop or park over dry leaves, grass, or combustible materials. TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE · When transporting the unit on an open trailer, make sure it is facing forward, in the direction of travel. If the unit is facing backwards, wind lift could damage the hood. · Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the tractor after transportation or storage. · Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals. · Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage preparations before storing the tractor for both short and long term periods. · Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to service. · Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a water heater. Allow unit to cool before storing. 2 TP 600-2459-03-UV-SMA Safety Rules and Information SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it. 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 tire grip on the ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of machine is unsuitable for it’s task, lack of awareness of the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution. Do · See your authorized dealer for recommendations of wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability. · Mow up and down slopes, not across. · Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. · Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles. · Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even through the brakes are functioning properly. Choose a low gear so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope. · Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the unit. · Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. · Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling downhill. When clutching, release clutch slowly. Do Not · Do not start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope. · Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible. · Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. · Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding. · Do not try to stabilize the unit by putting your foot on the ground. · Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes. · Do not mow slopes you cannot back up. · Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill. WARNING Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent (10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in 20 feet (607 cm) horizontally. When operating on slopes use additional wheel weights or counterweights. See your dealer to determine which weights are available and appropriate for your unit. Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. In addition to front and rear weights, use extra caution when operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass catcher. Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face, use caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE. Children Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. · Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult. · Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area. · Before and during reverse operation, look behind and down for small children. · Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe unit operation. · Never allow children to operate the unit. · Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision. TOWED EQUIPMENT · Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment. · Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point. · Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight limit for towed equipment and towing on slopes. · On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control. · Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop. · Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill. EMISSIONS · Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. · Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index information on the engine emissions label. 3 Safety Rules & Information SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE · Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. a) Use only an approved container. b) Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke. c) Never refuel the unit indoors. · 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 fuel vapors have dissipated. · Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps securely. · Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. · Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle. · Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device. · If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately. · Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary. · Never run the unit in an enclosed area where carbon monoxide fumes may collect. · Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition. · Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly and make necessary repa …..
