Moving Parts - Briggs & Stratton SNAPPER PRO S120B2561 Manual Del Operador

Moving Parts

This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you
or someone else. However, if you stay in the operator zone
(stay seated in the seat), and follow the safety rules in this
operator's manual, the unit is safe to operate.
The mower deck has spinning mower blades that can
amputate hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the unit
while it is running! Keep safety devices (guards, shields, and
switches) in place and working.
To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is
equipped with an operator-present safety system. Do NOT
attempt to alter or bypass the system. See your dealer
immediately if the system does not pass all the safety
interlock system tests found in this manual.
Roll Bar Use (For Models Equipped with a Rigid
Roll Bar)
Keep the roll bar in position and fasten the seat belt. Do not
jump off if the mower tips (it is safer to be secured by the seat
belt.)
NEVER remove the roll bar.
Roll Bar Use (For Models Equipped with a
Folding Roll Bar)
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.
Retaining Walls, Drop-Offs and Water
Retaining walls and drop-offs around steps and water are
a common hazard. Do NOT operate down slope towards or
near water, retaining walls, or drop-offs.
Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths of clearance
around these hazards and hand-trim with a walk behind
mower or string trimmer. Wheels dropping over retaining
walls, edges, ditches, embankments, or into water can
cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death, or
drowning.
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.
Fuel and Maintenance
Always disengage all drives, shutoff the engine, and remove
the key before doing any cleaning, refueling, or servicing.
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Do not
smoke while operating or refueling. Do not add fuel while
engine is hot or running. Allow engine to cool for at least 3
minutes prior to adding fuel.
Do not add fuel indoors, in an enclosed trailer, garage, or any
other enclosed area that is not well ventilated. Gasoline spills
should be cleaned up promptly and before operation begins.
