Briggs & Stratton BARON XL Lawn Mower User Manual


 
Operating Safety
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn and garden
equipment. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed
all industry standards for safety.
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or not
properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are responsible
for your safety and that of those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are not
sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done with the
equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your local
authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware of
BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and controls,
and maintenance information is included to help you get the most out of your
equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on the
following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often attracted
to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that children will
remain where you last saw them. If there is a risk that children may
enter the area where you are mowing, have another responsible
adult watch them.
DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES ON THIS UNIT! This
encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it is
running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then
approach the unit for a ride when you are not expecting it, and you
may run over them.
Reverse
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary. Always look down and behind
before and while traveling in
reverse even with the mower
blades disengaged.
