OPERATOR SAFETY

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 DUR-
ING 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.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often at-
tracted 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.

Operating 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, ask a
professional: contact your local authorized dealer.
Do not mow in reverse unless abso-
lutely necessary. Always look down
and behind before and
while traveling in reverse
even with the mower
blades disengaged.
