Safety Instructions
The REELMASTER 2300–D/2600–D conforms to the
American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) safety
standards for riding mowers when equipped with rear
ballast (see Operator’s Manual). Although hazard con-
trol and accident prevention are partially dependent
upon the design and configuration of the machine, these
factors are also dependent upon the awareness, con-
cern, and proper training of the personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the
machine. Improper use or maintenance of the machine
can result in injury or death.
To reduce the potential for injury or death,
comply with the following safety instruc-
tions.
Before Operating
Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner
of the machine can result in injury. Reduce the potential
for any injury by complying with the following safety in-
structions.
The engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, which is an odorless and
deadly poison. Carbon monoxide is also
known to the state of California to cause
birth defects. Do not run engine indoors
or in an enclosed area.
