Operating Safety
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn and gar-
den 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 respon-
sible 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, ask a professional: contact your local
authorized dealer.
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 op-
eration.
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.
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.
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.
