Safe Operation Practices for Riding Vehicles
As Recommended by American National Standards Institute
WARNING: This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the
following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
GENERAL OPERATION:
1. Read, understand and follow all instructions in the Instruction
Book, on the machine, the engine and with any attachments
before starting.
2. Only allow responsible adults familiar with the instructions to
operate the machine.
3. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.
which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.
4. Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.
Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.
5. Never carry passengers.
6. Disengage power to the mower or any attachments before
backing up. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely neces-
sary. Always look down and behind before and while back-
ing.
7. Be aware of the direction the mower discharges. Do not point
discharge from the mower at anyone or at places where
people may be. Do not operate the mower without either the
entire grass bagger or the mower guard in place.
8. Slow down before turning.
9. Never leave a machine unattended with the engine running.
Always disengage the blade(s), set the parking brake, stop
the engine and remove the key before dismounting.
10. Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting or not
in use. Disengage the blade(s) when not mowing.
11. Stop the engine before removing the grass bagger or unclog-
ging the chute.
12. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
13. Do not operate the machine while under the influence of al-
cohol or drugs or when very tired.
14. Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
15. Use extra caution when loading or unloading the machine
when using a trailer or truck for transporting.
16. Disengage all attachment clutches and shift into Neutral be-
fore attempting to start the engine.
17. Always wear safety glasses or an eye shield when you oper-
ate the unit to protect your eyes from foreign objects that can
be thrown from the unit. Always wear eye protection when
you make an adjustment or repair to the machine.
18. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
b. Limit loads to those you can safely control.
c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when backing.
d. Use counterweights or wheel weights when suggested in
the Instruction Book.
19. Do not operate this machine if you are taking drugs or other
medication which can cause drowsiness or affect your ability
to operate this machine.
20. Do not use this machine if you are mentally or physically
unable to operate this machine safely.
21. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are
involved in a large percentage of riding mower related inju-
ries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate
a riding mower safely enough to protect themselves and oth-
ers from serious injury.
SLOPE OPERATION:
Slopes and rough terrain are major factors related to loss of
control and tip over accidents which can result in severe
injury or death. ALL slopes require extra caution. If you can-
not back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on the slope, do
not mow it. See the “Slope Guide” in the back of this book to
check for safe operation.
DO
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.
2. Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc...
3. Watch for holes, ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could over-
turn the machine. “Tall grass can hide obstacles.”
4. Use slow speed. Choose a low enough gear so that you will
not have to stop or shift while on the slope.
5. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
6. Use extra care with grass baggers or other attachments,
they can change the stability of the machine.
7. Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
8. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
DO NOT
1. Do not turn on slopes unless absolutely necessary, then
only turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
2. Do not mow near drop–offs, ditches or embankments. A
wheel over the edge or an edge caving in could cause a sud-
den overturn and an injury or death.
3. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
4. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
5. Do not use a grass bagger or other rear mounted accesso-
ries on steep slopes (greater than 10 degrees).
CHILDREN:
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the ma-
chine and the mowing activity. NEVER assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and in the watchful
care of an adult other than the operator.
SAFETY RULES
4
F–010900L
2. Be alert and turn the engine off if children enter the area.
3. Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
4. Never carry children or any passengers. They may fall off
and be seriously injured or interfere with the safe operation
of the machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine. Instruct chil-
dren in the dangers of the machine.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees or other objects that may obscure vision.
SERVICE:
1. Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels.
Fuels are flammable and the vapors are explosive.
a. Use only an approved container.
b. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow the engine to cool for several minutes before
refueling. Do not smoke.
c. Never refuel the machine indoors.
d. Never store the machine with fuel in the tank or fuel con-
tainer inside where there is an open flame, such as a water
heater.
2. Never start or run the engine inside a closed area.
3. Keep all nuts and bolts, especially the blade attachment nuts
tight. Frequently check the blade(s) for wear or damage such
as cracks and nicks. A blade that is bent or damaged must
be immediately replaced with an original equipment blade
from an authorized service dealer. For safety, replace the
blade every two years. Keep the equipment in good condi-
tion.
4. Never tamper with the safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
5. To reduce fire hazards keep the machine free of grass,
leaves or other debris build–up. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
Allow the machine to cool before storing.
6. Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Re-
pair, if necessary, before restarting.
7. Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.
The carburetor can be adjusted with the engine running. Do
not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the
engine.
8. Grass bagger components are subject to wear, damage and
deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow ob-
jects to be thrown. For storage, always make sure the grass
bag is empty. Frequently check components and replace with
manufacturer’s recommended parts when necessary.
9. Mower blade(s) are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or
wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them or
the blade housing area.
10. Check the brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as
required.
11. Wait for all movement to stop before servicing any part of the
unit.
Look for this symbol to indicate important safety
precautions. This symbol indicates: “Attention!
Become Alert! Your Safety Is At Risk.”

REGLAS DE SEGURIDAD
Prácticas de operación segura para vehículos autoportados
Basadas en las recomendaciones del Instituto de Estándares Nacionales de Estados Unidos de América
PRECAUCION: Esta máquina cortadora es capaz de amputar manos y pies y de lanzar objetos con mucha fuerza. No
respetar las instrucciones de seguridad a continuación podría resultar en lesiones graves o la muerte del operador o
de espectadores.
OPERACIÓN GENERAL:
1. Antes de comenzar el trabajo, lea, entienda y siga todas las
instrucciones que aparecen en el Manual de Instrucciones,
en la máquina, en el motor y en cualquiera de los aditamen-
tos.
2. Sólo permita que adultos responsables, familiarizados con
las instrucciones, utilicen la máquina.
3. Despeje el área de objetos tales como piedras, juguetes,
cables, etc., que podrían ser lanzados con fuerza por la cu-
chilla.
4. Antes de comenzar a cortar el césped, asegúrese de que no
haya ninguna persona en el área. Si alguien entra en el
área, pare de inmediato la máquina.
5. Nunca lleve pasajeros.
6. Antes de retroceder, desconecte la alimentación al cortacés-
ped o a cualquier aditamento que tenga instalado. No corte
el césped en reversa a menos que esto sea absolutamente
necesario. Siempre mire hacia abajo y hacia atrás antes de
retroceder y mientras retrocede.
7. Esté atento a la dirección de descarga de la hierba cortada.
No dirija la descarga hacia personas o hacia lugares donde
pudiera haber gente. No opere la unidad sin tener instalado
el recolector de hierba o el dispositivo de seguridad.
8. Aminore la velocidad antes de dar la vuelta.
9. Nunca deje una máquina desatendida mientras el motor está
en marcha. Siempre desembrague la cuchilla(s), enganche
el freno de mano, pare el motor y retire la llave antes de ba-
jarse.
10. Desconecte la alimentación a los aditamentos cuando no los
esté utilizando o cuando transporte la unidad. Desembrague
la cuchilla(s) cuando no esté cortando el césped.
11. Pare el motor antes de desmontar el recolector de hierba o
para desobtruir el conducto de descarga.
12. Corte el césped a la luz del día o con buena luz artificial.
13. No opere la máquina si está bajo los efectos del alcohol o de
drogas, o si está muy cansado.
14. Esté atento al tráfico cuando opere la máquina cerca de ca-
minos o si debe cruzarlos.
15. Si usa un remolque o camioneta para transportar la unidad,
tenga mucho cuidado al cargar o descargar la unidad del
vehículo.
16. Desenganche todos los embragues de los aditamentos y
coloque la palanca de cambios en la posición neutro antes
de arrancar el motor.
17. Siempre use gafas de protección u algún tipo de protector
para los ojos cuando utilice la unidad, de esta manera prote-
gerá sus ojos de objetos que pudieran ser lanzados por la
máquina. Este tipo de protección ocular también debe usar-
lo cuando necesite hacer ajustes o reparaciones a la máqui-
na.
18. Tenga mucho cuidado cuando deba remolcar cargas o cuan-
do utilice equipos pesados.
a. Utilice únicamente barras de enganche con puntos de
remolque aprobados.
b. Limite las cargas a aquellas que usted pueda controlar
con seguridad.
c. No gire el volante bruscamente. Tenga cuidado al retro-
ceder.
d. Utilice contrapesos o pesos en las ruedas cuando esto
sea recomendado en el Manual de Instrucciones.
19. No opere esta máquina si está tomando drogas u otras me-
dicinas que pudieran causar somnolencia o que pudieran
afectar su habilidad para operar esta máquina.
20. No opere esta máquina si su estado emocional o físico no le
permite operarla con seguridad.
21. Los datos recopilados indican que los operadores de 60
años o más, sufren un mayor número de accidentes y lesio-
nes relacionados con el manejo de máquinas cortacésped.
Estos operadores deben evaluar sus habilidades para mane-
jar de manera segura un tractor cortacésped y evitar así le-
siones graves que pudieran sufrir ellos u otras personas que
se encuentren presentes.
OPERACIÓN EN CUESTAS:
Las cuestas y los terrenos accidentados son factores princi-
pales que se relacionan a accidentes causados por pérdidas
de control o por vuelcos de la unidad y que pueden resultar
en lesiones graves o muerte. TODAS las cuestas requieren
que se tomen precauciones adicionales. Si no puede subir
la cuesta usando el cambio de marcha atrás, o si se siente
incómodo en la cuesta, no la corte. Consulte la “Guía de
evaluación de cuestas”. Para obtener mayor información al
respecto, consulte esta guía que aparece al final de este ma-
nual.
RECOMENDACIONES
1. En las cuestas, corte el césped verticalmente (hacia arriba y
hacia abajo), y no en línea perpendicular (de lado a lado).
2. Quite todo obstáculo tal como piedras, ramas, etc.
3. Tenga cuidado con los hoyos, baches o resaltos. El terreno
disparejo puede hacer que la máquina se vuelque. “La hier-
ba muy alta puede esconder obstáculos”.
4. Maneje la unidad a baja velocidad. Seleccione una veloci-
dad suficientemente baja para que no tenga que parar o
cambiar de velocidad mientras está en la cuesta.
5. Respete y siga las recomendaciones del fabricante acerca
de pesos para las ruedas o contrapesos para mejorar la es-
tabilidad.
6. Tenga mucho cuidado cuando utilice el recolector de hierba
u otros aditamentos, estos afectan la estabilidad de la má-
quina.
ENSAMBLAJE

F–010900L
7. Procure que todos los movimientos en las cuestas sean len-
tos y graduales. No haga cambios bruscos de velocidad o
de dirección.
8. Evite tener que arrancar el motor o pararlo en una cuesta.
Si los neumáticos pierden tracción, desembrague la cuchi-
lla(s) y continúe despacio directamente hacia el pie de la
cuesta.
PRECAUCIONES
1. No gire en las cuestas a menos que sea absolutamente ne-
cesario, si debe hacerlo, gire lenta y gradualmente cuesta
abajo, si es posible.
2. No corte el césped cerca de precipicios, zanjas o terraple-
nes. Una rueda sobre un borde o el desprendimiento de un
borde podría causar un vuelco inesperado provocando lesio-
nes o la muerte.
3. No corte el césped si está mojado. La reducida tracción
puede hacer que la máquina resbale.
4. No trate de estabilizar la máquina bajando su pie al suelo.
5. No utilice el recolector de hierba ni otro accesorio de remol-
que en cuestas empinadas (de más de 10 grados).
NIÑOS:
Pueden ocurrir accidentes trágicos si el operador no está
alerta a la presencia de niños. A muchos niños les atraen
las cortadoras autoportadas. NUNCA suponga que los ni-
ños permanecerán en el último lugar donde los vió.
1. Mantenga a los niños fuera del área de trabajo y bajo el cui-
dado de un adulto que no sea el operador.
2. Manténgase alerta y pare el motor si entran niños al área.
3. Antes y mientras retrocede, mire hacia atrás y hacia abajo
por si hay niños.
4. Nunca permita que niños u otras personas vayan como “pa-
sajeros” en el cortacésped. Ellos pueden caerse , lesionarse
gravemente o pueden interferir con la operación segura de la
máquina.
5. Nunca permita que niños operen la máquina. Enséñeles a
los niños los peligros de la máquina.
6. Tenga mucho cuidado cuando se aproxime a esquinas cie-
gas, arbustos, árboles u otros objetos que le impidan una
buena visibilidad.
SERVICIO:
1. Tenga mucho cuando manipule gasolina y otros combusti-
bles. Los combustibles son inflamables y los vapores son
explosivos.
a. Utilice únicamente un recipiente aprobado.
b. Nunca quite la tapa del tanque de gasolina ni añada com-
bustible cuando el motor esté en marcha. Deje que el motor
se enfríe durante varios minutos antes de llenar el tanque.
No fume cuando llene el tanque.
c. Nunca agregue combustible cuando la unidad se encuen-
tra en un recinto cerrado.
d. Nunca guarde el cortacésped con combustible en el tan-
que, o el recipiente de combustible en un recinto donde haya
alguna llama expuesta, tal como el piloto de un calentador
de agua.
2. Nunca arranque el motor ni lo deje en marcha dentro de un
recinto cerrado.
3. Mantenga todas las tuercas y pernos apretados, especial-
mente las tuercas de montaje de la cuchilla(s). Revise con
frecuencia la cuchilla(s) para ver si está gastada o si tiene
algún daño tal como grietas o abolladuras. Una cuchilla tor-
cida o dañada debe ser reemplazada inmediatamente por
una cuchilla de repuesto original la cual puede obtener en un
centro de servicio autorizado. Para mayor seguridad, reem-
place la cuchilla cada dos años. Mantenga el equipo en
buenas condiciones.
4. Nunca trate de modificar los dispositivos de seguridad. Re-
víselos con frecuencia para cerciorarse de que trabajan
bien.
5. Para reducir los riesgos de incendio, mantenga la máquina
libre de acumulaciones de hierba, hojas u otros desechos.
Limpie derrames de aceite o de combustible. Deje que la
máquina se enfríe antes de guardarla.
6. Pare e inspeccione el equipo si choca contra algún objeto.
Si es necesario, repare el equipo antes de hacerlo arrancar
de nuevo.
7. Nunca realice ajustes o reparaciones con el motor en mar-
cha. El carburador puede ser ajustado mientras el motor
está en marcha. No cambie los ajustes del regulador del
motor ni sobrepase la velocidad de régimen del motor.
8. Los componentes del recolector de hierba están sujetos a
desgaste, daño y deterioro, factores que pueden exponer las
partes móviles o permitir que objetos sean lanzados por la
máquina. Al guardar la unidad, asegúrese siempre de que el
recolector de hierba esté vacío. Revise los componentes
periódicamente, y cuando sea necesario, reemplácelos con
piezas de repuesto recomendadas por el fabricante.
9. La cuchilla(s) de la cortadora es afilada y puede cortarle.
Envuelva la cuchilla(s) o utilice guantes y tome precauciones
cuando tenga que revisarla o revisar el área del alojamiento
de la cuchilla.
10. Examine los frenos frecuentemente. Ajústelos y revíselos
según sea necesario.
11. Antes de comenzar a revisar cualquier parte de la unidad,
espere a que todo movimiento se detenga.
Fíjese en este símbolo, éste le indica precauciones de seguri-
dad importantes. Este símbolo significa: “Atención! Esté
alerta! Su seguridad está en peligro”.
