The M

ower!

aining

1. Carefully and thoroughly read the owner

’s manual. Allow adequate time to fully understand the

controls and operation of the equipment.

2. Ne

ver allow anyone to operate the mower that has not read and fully understood the owner’s

manual.

3. Do not carry passenger

s. Avoid mowing while people, especially chi

ldren and pets are nearby,

since rotating blades can throw rocks and other items with enough force to cause serious in-

jury.

efore Use of Equipment

Operator:

Wear protective clothing while mowing. Long trousers and s

afety

glasses will help reduce the risk

of injury from thrown objects. It is reco

mmended that steel toe shoes with aggressive soles or some

other type of substantial footwear be wor

n to help protect your feet and maintain traction on slopes or

uneven ground. Always wear hearing protection.

Mowing Area:

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Look for items such as stones,

sticks, wir

e and other foreign objects. When struck by the mower, these and other objects may be-

come projectiles that could lead to serious injury and

/or death.

Mower:

r your safety and the long life of your mower, always inspect the mower before each use.

Before

inspection, make sure it is on a ﬂ at and level surface, the blades are disengaged,

the ignition switch

off with the key removed, and the spa

rk plug wire is off of the spark plugs.

General Condition:

•

Walk around the mower looking for any ﬂ uid sp

ills or leak

s on or underneath the mower. Re-

move any and all excessive debris, dirt, and/or ﬂ uids.

• Look for signs of damage or excessive wear. Check the tightness of all nuts, bolts, pins, and

screws. Tighten any that may be loose and replace an

y that may have been lost during use.

• Be sure the safety interlock seat switch is operating properly so that the engine can not be

started unless the operator is in the seat with the blades disengaged.

• Check the mower blades for any damage or abnormal wear and replace in sets so that they

are balanced.

• Check the tire pressure on all four tires.

• Check all belts for proper wear and correct tension.

• Check engine oil and air ﬁ lters as recommended in the engine manufacturers’ operators

manual.
