INTRODUCTION2.1
Your mower is only as safe as the operator. Carelessness
or operator error may result in serious bodily injury
or death. Hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and
proper training of the personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of the equipment.
Make sure every operator is properly trained and
thoroughly familiar with all of the controls before operating
the mower. The owner/user can prevent and is responsible
for accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, other
people or property.
