The potential exposure of the seat belt to severe
enviromental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat
belt system regularly.
It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a
daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that
shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant
discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness,
abrasion to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the
buckle, latch plate, hardware or any other obvious
problem should be replaced immediately.
WARNING:
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the
seat belt can cause serious injury or loss of
life.
1. Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for
cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-3.
2. Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to ultra
violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the
original color of the webbing in these areas is
extremely faded and/or is packed with dirt, the
physical strength of this webbing may have
deteriorated. If this condition exists, replace the seat
belt system.
3. Check the buckle and latch for proper operation and
determine if the latch plate is excessively worn,
deformed, or if the buckle is damaged or cracked.
See Figure 2-3.

WARNING:
Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes,
slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to stop.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. To
check a slope, attempt to back up it (with the cutter
deck down). If the machine can not back up the
slope without the wheels slipping, do not operate
the machine on this slope. Under no circumstances
should the machine be operated on slopes greater
than 15 degrees.
ALWAYS travel up or down the slope whenever
possible. Never across the slope.
DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge
caves in.
Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns,
starts or stops on a slope.
NEVER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed
equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of
control.
DO NOT permit untrained personnel to operate
the machine.
