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.
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 expect-
ing it, and you may run over them.
en
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 com-
mon 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.
