SAFETY

ACCIDENT PATTERNS TO AVOID

I. CONTACT WITH THE ROTATING

BLADE -- This accident usually happens

when the operator is clearing the

discharge chute of grass, (especially

when the grass is wet), or when the

operator adjusts the machine without

turning it off and waiting for the blades to

completely stop.

II. PROPELLED OBJECTS -- Sticks,

rocks, wires, and other objects can be

propelled out through the discharge

chute or from under the mower housing.

Bystanders are particularly vulnerable.

III. GRASS CATCHER OR GUARD -- The

mower shall not be operated without

either the entire grass catcher or guard

in place.

IV. OVERTURNING -- This happens when

riding mowers are used on steep slopes,

embankments or hills. The operator in

these cases can come in contact with

the blades or sustain injuries during a

fall.

V. MOWER RUNNING OVER THE VICTIM

-- This usually happens when a riding

mower is driven in reverse. The

accident victims are most often young

children whom, unseen by the operator

of the mower, were in the area being

mowed.

AT COUNTRY CLIPPER, WE SHARE YOUR

DESIRE TO PROTECT YOURSELF, YOUR

FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR

NEIGHBORS FROM ACCIDENTAL INJURY.

OBSERVING AND ENFORCING THE

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL HELP TO

INSURE THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. PEOPLE WHO OPERATE, SERVICE,

OR ARE OTHERWISE ASSOCIATED

with the Country Clipper Zero Turn

Radius Mower should be trained in its

proper use and warned of its dangers.

Before operating, adjusting, or servicing

the Country Clipper Zero Turn Radius

Mower they should read and understand

this entire manual and the engine

owner’s manual.

2. AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING

PARTS. Keep hands and feet from

under mower deck and away from

blades at all times. Turn engine (motor)

off if you must unclog the chute.

3. AVOID HILLS AND SLOPES. Use

extreme caution when mowing up or

down slopes. NEVER mow across the

face of a slope. If a slope must be

ascended, back up the slope; drive

forward when descending. Reduce

speed and use caution to start, stop and

maneuver. To prevent loss of control on

a slope avoid sharp turns, sudden

changes in direction, and sudden stops

and starts.

4. DISENGAGE POWER TO MOWER

BEFORE BACKING UP. Do not mow in

reverse unless ABSOLUTELY

necessary and then only after turning

around and observing the entire area

behind the mower. Go slowly. Most

“running over victim” accidents occur in

reverse.

5. BEGINNING OPERATORS SHOULD

LEARN HOW TO STEER the Country

Clipper Zero Turn Radius Mower before

attempting to mow. Start with slow

engine speed and drive without the

blades engaged in an open area until

comfortable with the machine.

6. KNOW HOW TO STOP QUICKLY.

Know the location and operation of every

control, especially how to brake and how

to disengage the mower blades.

7. DO NOT MOVE CONTROL LEVER(S)

from forward position to reverse position

rapidly. The speed and/or direction of

travel is affected instantly by movement

of the Control Lever(s).

8. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO

OPERATE MOWER. Do not allow

others who have not had instruction to

operate mower.

9. ALWAYS TURN ENGINE OFF AND

REMOVE KEY before leaving the

mower to prevent children and

inexperienced operators from starting

the engine. Never leave the mower

unattended with engine running. Always

wait for all moving parts and all sounds

to stop before leaving operator’s seat.

10. WEAR STURDY, ROUGH-SOLED

WORK SHOES AND CLOSE-FITTING

SLACKS AND SHIRTS. Never operate

mower in bare feet, sandals or

sneakers.

11. KNOW THE AREA YOU ARE TO

MOW. Watch for hidden danger such

as rocks, roots, sticks, holes, bumps,

and drop-offs, etc. Before mowing, pick

up all debris in area to be mowed.

Sharp and hard objects can be propelled

at a high speed and can act like

shrapnel. Walk through tall grass

BEFORE MOWING to make sure there

are no hidden dangers. Mow higher

than desired in tall grass to expose any

hidden objects and/or obstacles, clean

the area, and then mow to the desired

height.

12. NEVER REFUEL A MOWER

INDOORS. Allow the engine time to

cool before refueling. Unseen vapors

may be ignited by a spark. Always clean

up spilled gasoline. Never run the

engine indoors in a garage or any other

closed building. Allow engine to cool

before storing in any enclosure. The

engine exhaust and gasoline fumes are

dangerous.

13. DISENGAGE BLADES BEFORE

DRIVING ACROSS WALKS or

projecting objects.

14. NEVER REMOVE THE FUEL CAP or

add gasoline to a running or hot engine

that has not been allowed to cool for

several minutes after running. Always

make sure the gas cap is in place.

15. NEVER CARRY PASSENGERS.

16. DO NOT SMOKE AROUND THE

MOWER or the gasoline storage

container. Gasoline fumes can easily

ignite.

17. KEEP GASOLINE IN A WELL-

VENTILATED AREA away from your

living quarters and in tightly-capped

safety cans. Never store mower with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach open flame or

spark.

18. DISENGAGE BLADES, STOP ENGINE

AND REMOVE IGNITION KEY before

any servicing. Be sure all moving parts

and all sounds have stopped. Let

engine cool and disconnect the spark

plugs so the engine cannot start by

accident. A SLIGHT ROTATION OF

THE BLADES COULD START THE

ENGINE.

19. KEEP ALL NUTS, BOLTS, AND

SCREWS TIGHT to be sure equipment

is in safe working condition, especially

blade mounting bolts.

20. MOWER SHOULD BE STOPPED AND

INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE after

striking a foreign object and the damage

should be repaired before restarting and

operating the equipment. Stop

immediately and check for damage or

loose parts if mower should start

vibrating.

21 KEEP SAFETY DEVICES AND

GUARDS IN PLACE. If any of the

safety switches become inoperable,

have them repaired immediately.

22. DO NOT STEP OR STAND ON THE

MOWER HOUSING. Step or stand only

on the foot deck.

23. WATCH OUT FOR TRAFFIC near

roadways and when crossing roads.

24. DO NOT USE MOWER WHEN GRASS

IS WET OR SLIPPERY.

25. THIS MACHINE IS NOT MEANT FOR

HIGHWAY OR STREET USE. It is not a

recreational vehicle and it should not be

operated as such.

26. ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE MOWER

BLADE CLUTCH when transporting.

27. KEEP ALL SAFETY LABELS IN

LEGIBLE CONDITION. Remove

grease, dirt, grass, etc. that may cover

safety labels. Replace any safety label

that is missing or damaged.

28. WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE

EQUIPMENT. Eye, ear, feet and head

protection is recommended.

29. ONLY USE COUNTRY CLIPPER

APPROVED ACCESSORIES.

30. DO NOT CHANGE THE ENGINE

GOVERNOR SETTING or over speed

the engine.

31. BEWARE OF MOWER DISCHARGE

DIRECTION and do not point it at

anyone.

32. DO NOT OPERATE THE MOWER

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.

33. USE CARE WHEN LOADING OR

UNLOADING MACHINE INTO A

TRAILER OR TRUCK.

34. USE CARE WHEN APPROACHING

BLIND CORNERS, shrubs, trees, or

other objects that may obscure vision.

35. CLEAN ALL GRASS AND DEBRIS

FROM MACHINE TO PREVENT

FIRES. Remove spilled oil or gasoline.

36. KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY

FROM MOVING PARTS. If possible do

not make adjustments with the engine

running.

37. NEVER MOW WHEN OTHER PEOPLE

OR PETS ARE IN THE AREA.

38. CAREFULLY RELEASE PRESSURE

FROM COMPONENTS WITH STORED

ENERGY.

39. USE CARE WHEN REPLACING

BLADES. Wrap the blade(s) or wear

gloves, and use caution when servicing

them. Only replace blade(s). Never

straighten or weld blade(s).

40. USE JACK STANDS TO SUPPORT

COMPONENTS when required.
