SAFETY RULES

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.

F-020902L

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.

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).

SAFETY RULES

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.

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.

MOWING AND BAGGING TIPS

1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of the mow-

er housing. See "How To Level The Mower Housing" in the

Maintenance section.

For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tires have

the correct amount of air pressure.

Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the blade is

bent or damaged, immediately replace the blade. Also, make

sure the nut for the blade is tight.

Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause the

ends of the grass to turn brown.

If the grass is very high, cut two times to decrease the load

on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in the high-

est position and then lower the mower housing for the sec-

ond cut.

Operate the engine with the throttle in FAST position and the

shift lever in first or second gear.

For better cutting performance and a quality cut, mow at

slower speeds.

After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower hous-

ing for better performance. Also, a clean mower housing will

help prevent a fire.

F-020902L 12

never up or down slopes.

10 DEGREES 15 DEGREES

Operate a riding mower

up or down slopes, never

across the face of slopes.

On a riding mower to determine if a slope is safe to mow: (1) disengage the blade(s), (2) put the unit in reverse, and (3) try to back straight up the

slope. If you can back up the slope, it is generally safe to mow. However, if you do not feel safe, or you are not completely sure, use this guide to

determine the slope angle.

A ARNING: To avoid possible serious injury, do not mow a slope that is greater than 15 degrees• If the riding mower is used with a

pull-behind or rear-mounted attachment, do not operate the unit on a slope that is greater than 10 degrees.

OPERAClON EN CUESTAS:

Las cuestas y los terrenos accidentados son factores princi-

pales que se relacionan a accidentes causados por p6rdidas

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 atr_s, o si se siente

inc6modo en la cuesta, no la corte. Consulte la "Guia de

evaluaci6n de cuestas'. Para obtener mayor informaci6n al

respecto, consulte esta guia que aparece al final de este ma-

nual.

RECOMENDACIONES

1. En las cuestas, corte el cesped verticalmente (hacia arriba y

hacia abajo), y no en linea perpendicular (de lado a lado).

2. Quite todo obstaculo tal como piedras, ramas, etc.

3. Tenga cuidado con los hoyos, baches o resaltos. El terreno

disparejo puede hacer que la m&quina se vuelque. "La hier-

ba muy alta puede esconder obstaculos".

4. Maneje la unidad a baja velocidad. Seleccione una veloci-

dad suficientemente baja para que no tenga que parar o

cambiar de velocidad mientras esta 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 ma-

quina.

REGLAS DE SEGURIDAD

7. Procure que todos los movimientos en las cuestas sean len-

tos y graduales. No haga cambios bruscos de velocidad o

de direcci6n.

Evite tener que arrancar el motor o pararlo en una cuesta.

Si los neumaticos pierden tracci6n, desembrague la cuchi-

Ila(s) y continQe 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 cesped cerca de precipicios, zanjas o terraple-

nes. Una rueda sobre un borde o el desprendimiento de un

borde podria causar un vuelco inesperado provocando lesio-

nes o la muerte.

3. No corte el cesped si est& mojado. La reducida tracci6n

puede hacer que la m&quina resbale.

4. No trate de estabilizar la m&quina bajando su pie al suelo.

5. No utilice el recolector de hierba ni otto accesorio de remol-

queen cuestas empinadas (de m&s de 10 grados).

NINOS:

Pueden ocurrir accidentes tr&gicos si el operador no est&

alerta a la presencia de ni5os. A muchos ni6os les atraen

las cortadoras autoportadas. NUNCA suponga que los ni-

5os permanecer_n en el t_ltimo lugar donde los vi6.

1. Mantenga a los ni_os fuera del area de trabajo y bajo el cui-

dado de un adulto que no sea el operador.

2. Mantengase alerta y pare el motor si entran niSos al area.

3. Antes y mientras retrocede, mire hacia atr&s y hacia abajo

por si hay niSos.

4. Nunca permita que niSos u otras personas vayan como "pa-

sajeros" en el cortacesped. EIIos pueden caerse, lesionarse

gravemente o pueden interferir con la operaci6n segura de la

maquina.

5. Nunca permita que niSos operen la maquina. Ensefieles a

los niSos los peligros de la m&quina.

6. Tenga mucho cuidado cuando se aproxime a esquinas cie-

gas, arbustos, &rboles u otros objetos que le impidan una

buena visibilidad.

1. Tenga mucho cuando manipule gasolina y otros combusti-

bles. Los combustibles son inflamables y los vapores son

explosivos.

de agua.

Nunca arranque el motor ni Io deje en marcha dentro de un

recinto cerrado.

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 esta gastada o si tiene

algQn daSo tal como grietas o abolladuras. Una cuchilla tor-

cida o daSada 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 aSos. Mantenga el equipo en

buenas condiciones.

Nunca trate de modificar los dispositivos de seguridad. Re-

viselos con frecuencia para cerciorarse de que trabajan

bien.

5. Para reducir los riesgos de incendio, mantenga la maquina

libre de acumulaciones de hierba, hojas u otros desechos.

Limpie derrames de aceite o de combustible. Deje que la

m&quina se enfrie antes de guardarla.

6. Pare e inspeccione el equipo si choca contra algun objeto.

Si es necesario, repare el equipo antes de hacerlo arrancar

de nuevo.

cha. El carburador puede ser ajustado mientras el motor

esta en marcha. No cambie los ajustes del regulador del

motor ni sobrepase la velocidad de regimen del motor.

8. Los componentes del recolector de hierba estan sujetos a

desgaste, daSo y deterioro, factores que pueden exponer las

partes m6viles o permitir que objetos sean lanzados por la

m&quina. AI guardar la unidad, asegurese siempre de que el

recolector de hierba este vacio. Revise los componentes

peri6dicamente, y cuando sea necesario, reempl&celos con

piezas de repuesto recomendadas pot el fabricante.
