General

This section describes the machine's safety equipment,
its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly.
WARNING! Never use a machine that
!
has faulty safety equipment! If your
machine fails any checks contact your
service agent to get it repaired.
Prevent unintentional starting by
removing the ignition cable from the
spark plug.
Operator presence control bar
IMPORTANT! Federal regulations require an engine
control to be installed on this lawn mower in order to
minimize the risk of blade contact injury. Do not under
any circumstances attempt to defeat the function of the
operator control. The blade turns when the engine is
running.
The engine brake is designed to stop the engine. When
the grip on the operator presence control bar is released
the engine should stop.
Checking the operator presence control bar
• Start the engine and then release the operator
presence control bar. The engine should stop.
MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Rear deflector
The rear deflector, attached between the rear wheels of
your mower, is provided to minimize the possibility that
objects will be thrown out of the rear of the mower into the
operator's mowing position.
Inspecting the rear deflector
• Make sure the rear deflector is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects such as cracks, or broken
springs that force the door closed. Replace the
deflector or springs if damaged.
Muffler
WARNING! Never use a machine without
!
a muffler, or with a faulty muffler. A
damaged muffler may substantially
increase the noise level and the fire
hazard. Keep fire fighting equipment
handy.
The muffler gets very hot during and
after use. This also applies during idling.
Be aware of the fire hazard, especially
when working near flammable
substances and/or vapours.
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Inspecting the muffler
• Check regularly that the muffler is complete and
secured correctly.
