1.2 TRAINING

1.2.1 Regard the Exmark mower as a piece of power equipment and teach this

regard to all who operate this unit.

1.2.2 Read the instructions carefully. Familiarize yourself with the controls and the

proper use of the equipment. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read

English, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to them.

1.2.3 Do not allow operation of this machine by untrained personnel. Never allow

children, teenagers, or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the

mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

1.2.4 Avoid mowing while people, especially children, or pets, are nearby. Keep in

mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring

to other people or their property.

1.3 PREPARATION

1.3.1 Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are

needed to properly and safely perform the job. Only use accessories and

attachments approved by Exmark.

1.3.2 The use of personal protective equipment, such as (but not limited to)

protection for the eyes, ears, feet, and head is recommended.

CAUTION

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85

dBA at the operator’s ear when in operation.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Exposure to sound levels of 85 dBA or above for

extended periods of time can cause hearing loss.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Wear hearing protection when operating this machine.

1.3.3 While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not

operate equipment when barefoot or when wearing open sandals.

- 2 -

1.3.3 Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all

stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects, which may damage the

equipment or cause personal injury to the operator or bystanders.

1.3.4 Always set the park brake before starting the engine.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is

an odorless deadly poison.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Carbon monoxide can kill you.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined area

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable

and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,

and cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from

an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited

by spark.

♦Refuel only outdoors.

♦Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it

out of the reach of children.

♦Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the

cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running

or when the engine is hot.

♦Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises

above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler

neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel

spillage.

♦If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine.

Move away from the area of the spill and avoid

creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have

dissipated.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable

and highly explosive.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or

explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and

cause property damage.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved

container.

♦Always place gasoline containers on the ground away

from your vehicle before filling.

♦Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a

truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic

truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow

the loss of any static charge.

♦When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from

the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its

wheels on the ground.

♦If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a

truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than

from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

♦If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the

nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is complete.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Gasoline vapor can collect inside enclosed trailers and

may be ignited by electrical sparks or hot

engine/exhaust components.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Explosion and fire may occur, resulting in property

damage, personal injury, and/or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Provide adequate ventilation of any enclosed trailer to

prevent build up of gasoline vapors, especially at floor

level.

♦Refuel only outdoors, never inside an enclosed trailer.

♦Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage containers

have proper caps installed to prevent spillage and

minimize vapor escaping into the trailer.

♦Do not place any equipment that is leaking gasoline in

an enclosed trailer.

1.4 OPERATION

Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the

design and configuration of the equipment, these factors are also dependent

upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of the personnel

involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the equipment.

It is essential that all Operator Safety Mechanisms be connected and in operating

condition prior to use for mowing.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Operating engine parts, especially the muffler, become

extremely hot.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Severe burns can occur on contact.

♦Debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Allow engine parts, especially the muffler, to cool before

touching.

♦Remove accumulated debris from muffler and engine area.

♦Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before

using equipment on forest-covered, grass-covered, or

brush-covered unimproved land.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦Hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories can become

entangled in rotating parts.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Contact with rotating parts can cause traumatic amputation

or severe lacerations.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦Do not operate the machine without guards, shields, and

safety devices in place and working.

♦Keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, or clothing away from

rotating parts.

1.4.1 Give complete, undivided attention to the job at hand.

1.4.2 Mow only in daylight or good artificial light, keeping away from holes and

hidden hazards. NEVER carry passengers. DO NOT operate the mower

when children or others are in the area.

1.4.3 When feasible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.

1.4.4 Use EXTREME caution when mowing and/or turning on slopes as loss of

control and/or tip over could occur. Drive slower on slopes. Progressively

greater care is needed as the slope increases. DO NOT operate on slopes

greater than 15 degrees. Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises

which change the operating angle. Keep away from drop-offs and steep

banks. Mow up and down slopes - not across. Mower tips more easily to the

side than to the front or the rear. Avoid sudden starts and turns. Loss of

control may occur going downhill - weight transfer may cause rear wheel to lift

off and cause loss of steering. DO NOT mow slopes when grass is wet -

slippery conditions affect steering and reduce traction and braking. The

operator is responsible for safe operation on slopes. See inside back cover to

determine the approximate slope of the area to be mowed.

- 5 -

1.4.5 Use EXTREME caution when backing up. LOOK BEHIND YOU!

1.4.6 Stop the blades when crossing surfaces other than grass and when

transporting the mower to and from the area to be mowed.

1.4.7 Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields, or covers. Always

have safety shields, guards, switches, and other devices in place and in proper

working condition.

1.4.8 Do Not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating

an engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.

1.4.9 Disengage PTO before starting engine.

1.4.10 Start the engine carefully with feet well away from the blades.

1.4.11 Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from rotating parts while the mower is

being operated.

1.4.12 Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key:

a) Before checking, cleaning, or working on the mower.

b) After striking a foreign object (inspect the mower for damage and

make repairs before restarting and operating the mower).

c) Before clearing blockages.

d) Whenever you leave the mower.

1.4.13 Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop:

a) Before refueling.

b) Before making height adjustments.

c) Before dumping the grass catcher.

1.4.14 Before stopping the engine, place the throttle control midway between the

“slow” and “fast” positions. Allow the engine to run a minimum of 15 seconds,

then stop the engine.

1.4.15 The fuel system is provided with a shut-off valve. The fuel shut-off valve is

used to shut off the fuel when:

a) The machine will not be used for a few days.

b) During transport to and from the job.

c) When parking inside a building.

1.4.16 This mower was designed for one operator only. Keep all others away from

mower during operation.

1.4.17 Do Not mow without the discharge chute or entire grass collection system in

place and in proper working condition.

1.4.18 Be aware of the mower discharge and direct discharge away from others.

1.4.19 Do NOT operate the mower under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

1.4.20 Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, other objects that

may obscure vision.

1.4.21 If jump starting is required:

a) Connect the positive (+) power cable from the positive post on the

booster battery to the positive terminal post on the starter solenoid switch

(this post has the positive battery cable attached to it).

b) Connect the negative or ground cable (-) to the negative post on the battery

to any engine deck ground, preferably the engine block as far away from

the battery as possible.

c) Disconnect battery cables in the reverse order after starting.
