SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
19. Go slow when using a trailing seat.
20. Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
21. Do not direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the line when crossing gravel
surfaces.
22. Do not leave a running machine unattended. Always park on level ground, disengage the attachment,set
parking brake, and stop engine.
23. Do not trim in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
24. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the machine and the trimming activity. Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
25. Keep children out of the operating area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than
the operator.
26. Travel in the manufacturer recommended direction on slopes. Use caution while operating near drop-
offs.
27. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
28. Do not operate machine under any condition where traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires
could slide even if the wheels are stopped.
29. Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not coast downhill.
30. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
31. Do not store the machine or fuelcontainer, or refuel, where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light
such as on a water heater or other appliance.
32. Use full width ramps for loading and unloading a machine for transport.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never store the equipment with gas in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame
or spark.
3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
4. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler, battery compartment and gas storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.
6. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not trim on it. For your safety, use the slope
gauge included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this machine on a sloped or
hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not trim on it.
1. Trim across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
3. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the control lever immediately and the spindle will stop rotating within three (3)
seconds.
4. Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you could lose your footing or balance.
5. Do not trim on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
