2.4 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. Know the function of all controls and how to stop
quickly.
2. Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes
and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control.
Be especially cautious when changing directions on
slopes.
DO NOT operate on steep slopes. To check a slope,
attempt to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If
the machine can back up the slope without the
wheels slipping, reduce speed and use extreme
caution. ALWAYS FOLLOW OSHA APPROVED
OPERATION.
2.3 BEFORE OPERATION
CONSIDERATIONS (CONT'D)
5. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing that could get
tangled in moving parts. Do not operate the machine
wearing shorts; always wear adequate protective
clothing including long pants. Wearing safety glasses,
safety shoes and a helmet is advisable and is required
by some local ordinances and insurance regulations.
6. Operator hearing protection is recommended,
particularly for continuous operation of the mower.
Wear suitable hearing protection. Prolonged exposure
to loud noise can cause hearing impairment or loss.
7. Keep the machine and attachments in good operating
condition. Keep all shields and safety devices in place.
If a shield, safety device or decal is defective or
damaged, repair or replace it before operating the
machine.
This machine is equipped with an interlock system
intended to protect the operator and others from
injury. This is accomplished by preventing the
engine from starting unless the deck drive is
disengaged, the parking brake is on, the steering
control levers are in the neutral position and the
operator is in the seat. The system shuts off the
engine if the operator leaves the seat with the deck
drive engaged and/or the steering control levers not
in the neutral position and the parking brake not
engaged. Never operate equipment with the interlock
system disconnected or malfunctioning.
8. Be sure the interlock switches are functioning correctly.
9. Fuel is flammable; handle it with care. Fill the fuel
tank outdoors. Never fill it indoors. Use a funnel or
spout to prevent spillage. Clean up any spillage before
starting the engine.
10. DO NOT add fuel to a running or hot engine. Allow
the engine to cool for several minutes before adding
fuel.
