Safety Rules
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that chil-
dren will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seri-
ously injured or interfere with safe unit operation.
• Never allow children to operate the unit.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE
• Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling prac-
tices when refueling the tractor after transportation,
service, or storage.
• Always follow the engine manual instructions for
storage preparations when preparing the tractor for
both short and long term periods.
• Always follow the engine manual instructions for
proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to
service.
• Never store the unit or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a
water heater, gas furnace, or stove. Allow unit to cool
before storing.
GENERAL SAFETY
All WARNING, CAUTION, and instructional messages
appearing in decals on the tractor and mower being ser-
viced must be carefully read and obeyed. Severe per-
sonal injury can result when these instructions are not
followed. The information is for your safety, as well as
those who operate the equipment, and it is important!
If any of these decals are lost or damaged, replace them
at once. See your Parts Manual for replacement informa-
tion.
These labels are easily applied and will act as a constant
visual reminder to you, the operator, and others who may
use the equipment, to follow the safety instructions nec-
essary for safe, effective operation.
