Operating Safety - Briggs & Stratton Legacy XL Manual Del Operador

Overhead Obstacles
Check for overhead clearances
before driving under any objects. Do
not allow the roll bar to contact low
overhanging obstacles such as tree
branches and guide wires.
Roll Bar Use
Keep the roll bar in the raised position
and fasten the seat belt. There is no
roll over protection when the roll bar
is down! Do not jump off if the mower
tips (it is safer to be secured by the
seat belt with the roll bar raised.)
Lower the roll bar only when necessary
(such as to temporarily clear a low
overhanging obstacle) and NEVER
remove it. Do NOT use the seat belt
when the roll bar is down. Raise the roll
bar as soon as clearance permits.

Operating Safety

Congratulations on purchasing a
superior-quality piece of lawn and
garden equipment. Our products are
designed and manufactured to meet or
exceed all industry standards for safety.
Power equipment is only as safe as the
operator. If it is misused, or not properly
maintained, it can be dangerous!
Remember, you are responsible for your
safety and that of those around you.
Use common sense, and think through
what you are doing. If you are not sure
that the task you are about to perform
can be safely done with the equipment
you have chosen, contact your local
authorized dealer.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with
children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation.
Children are often attracted to the
unit and mowing activity. Never
assume that children will remain
where you last saw them. If there is a
risk that children may enter the area
where you are mowing, have another
responsible adult watch them.
DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES
ON THIS UNIT! This encourages
them to come near the unit in the
future while it is running, and they
could be seriously hurt. They may
then approach the unit for a ride
when you are not expecting it, and
you may run over them.
Read the Manual
The operator's manual contains
important safety information you
need to be aware of BEFORE
you operate your unit as well as
DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an
explanation of the product's features and
controls, and maintenance information is
included to help you get the most out of
your equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety
Rules and Information found on the
following pages. Also completely read
the Operation section.
Reverse
Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary. Always look
down and behind before and while
traveling in reverse even with the
mower blades disengaged.
