Operation

Before Operation

Before Operation Safety

• Do not allow children or untrained people to operate or service the machine. Local

regulations may restrict the age of the operator. The owner is responsible for training all

operators and mechanics.

• Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that could be

thrown or could interfere with the operation of the machine.

• Evaluate the terrain to determine the appropriate equipment and any attachments or

accessories required to operate the machine properly and safely.

• Do not carry passengers on the machine.

• Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety

signs.

• Check that operator-presence controls, safety switches, and guards are attached and

working properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are functioning properly.

• Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant

footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or

loose jewelry.

• Do not operate the machine unless all guards and safety devices, such as the deflectors

and the entire grass catcher, are in place and functioning properly. Replace worn or

deteriorated parts when necessary.

• Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving

the operator’s position. Wait for the machine to cool before servicing, adjusting, fueling,

cleaning, or storing it.

WARNING

Contacting the blade can result in serious personal injury.

When you shut off the engine, the blade(s) should stop. If not, stop using your

machine immediately and contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

• Before mowing, inspect the machine to ensure that the cutting assemblies are working

properly.

• Keep bystanders, particularly children, and pets away from the machine during

operation. Shut off the machine and attachment(s) if anyone enters the area.

3465-589 A Page 4–1 Operation

Before Operation Safety (continued)

Fuel Safety

• Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn

you and others and can damage property.

– To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, place the container and/or machine

directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.

– Fill the fuel tank outdoors on level ground, in an open area, and when the engine is

cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.

– Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.

– Do not remove the fuel cap or add fuel to the tank while the engine is running or hot.

– If you spill fuel, do not attempt to start the engine. Avoid creating a source of ignition

until the fuel vapors have dissipated.

– Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.

• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Replace the fuel cap and tighten it securely.

• In certain conditions during fueling, static electricity can be released, causing a spark that

can ignite fuel vapors.

• Do not fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner.

Always place containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling.

• Remove the equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it while it is on the ground. If

this is not possible, then refuel from a portable container rather than from a fuel-

dispenser nozzle.

• Keep the fuel-dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container

opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

• Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious

injury and illness.

– Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.

– Keep your hands and face away from the nozzle and the fuel-tank opening.

– Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.

• Clean up any spilled fuel.

• Do not store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot

light, such as on a water heater or on other appliances.

• Do not operate the machine without the entire exhaust system in place and in proper

working condition.
