SAFETY RULES

The following safety instructions are based

on the B71.4 specifications of the American

National Standards Institute and ISO 5395 in

effect at the time of production.

Training

Read, understand, and follow all instructions

on the machine and in the manuals before

starting.

Be sure the area is clear of bystanders and

pets before operating. Stop machine if

anyone enters the area.

Improper use of power equipment can cause

serous permanent injury or death to the

operator or a bystander.

Understand:

• How to operate all controls

• The functions of all controls

• How to STOP in an Emergency

• Braking and steering characteristics

• Turning radius and clearances

If the operator or the mechanic cannot read

the manual, it is the owner’s responsibility to

explain it to them.

Always train any inexperienced operators

and require them to read and understand all

manuals and decals.

Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions, to operate this

machine.

Only the user can prevent and is responsible

for accidents or injuries occurring to

themselves, other people or property.

Operator Age

Do not allow children under the age of 18 to

operate any outdoor power equipment.

Local regulations may restrict the age of the

operator.

Data indicates operators age 60 years and

above are involved in a large percentage of

riding mower-related injuries.

These operators should evaluate their ability

to operate the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from serious

injury.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is

not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the machine

and the mowing activity. Never assume that

children will remain where you last saw

them.

Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters

the area.

Before and while backing, look behind and

down for small children.

Never carry children, even with the blade(s)

shut off. They may fall off and be seriously

injured or interfere with safe machine

operation. Children who have been given

rides in the past may suddenly appear in the

mowing area for another ride and be run

over or backed over by the machine.

Never allow children to operate the machine.

Use extreme care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that

may block your view of a child.

Keep children out of the mowing area and in

the watchful care of a responsible adult

other than the operator.

Personal Protection

DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry and

tie back hair that may get caught in rotating

parts.

Wear adequate outer garments.

NEVER wear open sandals or canvas shoes

during operation. Wear adequate safety

gear, protective gloves and footwear.

Wear proper footwear to improve footing on

slippery surfaces

Always wear eye and ear protection when

operating machine.

Before Operating

Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the

equipment is in safe working condition.

Maintain the machine to be in compliance

with the maintenance schedule.

Clean grass and debris from unit, especially

from around muffler and engine, to help

prevent fires.

Check parking brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required.
