2.4 OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
(CONT'D)
3. To prevent tipping or loss of control, start and stop
smoothly, avoid unnecessary turns and travel at reduced
speed.
4. When using any attachment, never direct the discharge
of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near
the machine while in operation.
5. Before attempting to start the engine, with the operator
in the seat, disengage power to the cutter deck, place
the steering control levers in the neutral position and
engage the parking brake.
6. If the mower discharge ever plugs, shut off the engine,
remove the ignition key, and wait for all movement to
stop before removing the obstruction.
WARNING:
DO NOT use your hand to dislodge the clogged
discharge chute. Use a stick or other device to
remove clogged material.
7. Be alert for holes, rocks, roots and other hidden hazards
in the terrain. Keep away from any dropoff. Beware
of overhead obstructions (low limbs, etc.) and
underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots,
etc.). Cautiously enter a new area. Be alert for hidden
hazards.
8. Disengage power to cutter deck before backing up.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary
and then only after observation of the entire area behind
the mower.
9. DO NOT turn sharply. Use care when backing up.
10. Disengage power to cutter deck before crossing roads,
walks or gravel drives.
11. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
12. NEVER raise the deck with the blades engaged.
13. Take all possible precautions when leaving the machine
unattended, such as disengaging the mower, lowering
the attachments, setting the parking brake, stopping the
engine, and removing the key.
14. Disengage power to the attachments when transporting
or when not in use.
15. The machine and attachments should be stopped and
inspected for damage after striking a foreign object,
and damage should be repaired before restarting and
operating the machine.
CAUTION:
DO NOT touch the engine or the muffler while
the engine is running or immediately after
stopping. These areas may be hot enough to
cause a burn.
WARNING:
DO NOT run the engine inside a building or a
confined area without proper ventilation. Exhaust
fumes are hazardous and could cause death.
16. Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and
moving parts. Contact can injure.
17. Use care when loading or unloading the machine onto
a trailer or truck.
18. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,
or other objects that may obscure vision.
