McCulloch M165-97T Classic [3/88] Safety rules

1. Safety Rules

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I. TRAINING

• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the con trols

and the proper use of the equipment.

• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the ins truc-

tions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict

the age of the operator.

• Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are

nearby.

• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for

accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their

property.

• Do not carry passengers.

• All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practi-

cal instruction. Such instruction should em pha size:

- the need for care and concentration when work ing

with ride-on machines;

- control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not

be regained by the application of the brake.

The main reasons for loss of control are:

a) insufficient wheel grip;

b) being driven too fast;

c) inadequate braking;

d) the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;

e) lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions,

especially slopes;

f) incorrect hitching and load distribution.

II. PREPARATION

• To reduce the risk of fire - before use, when refueling and

at the end of each mowing session - inspect and remove

any debris buildup from the tractor, mower and behind all

guards.

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long

trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot

or wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to

be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by

the machine.

• WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable.

- Store fuel in containers specifically de signed for this

pur pose.

- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while re fu el ing.

- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the

cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is

running or when the en gine is hot.

- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine

but move the machine away from the area of spillage

and avoid cre at ing any source of ig ni tion until petrol

vapors have dis si pat ed.

- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.

• Replace faulty silencers.

• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the

blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or

damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts

in sets to preserve balance.

• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

III. OPERATION

• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where

dan ger ous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

• Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade

attachment clutches and shift into neutral.

• Do not use on slopes of more than 15°.

• Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope. Travel

on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against

overturning;

- do not stop or start suddenly when going up or down hill;

- engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear,

especially when traveling down hill;

- machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and

during tight turns;

- stay alert for humps and hollows and oth er hidden

haz ards;

- never mow across the face of the slope, unless the

lawnmower is designed for this pur pose.

• Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.

- Use only approved drawbar hitch points.

- Limit loads to those you can safely control.

- Do not turn sharply. Use care when re vers ing.

- Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when sug-

gest ed in the instruction hand book.

• Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

• Stop the blades from rotating before crossing surfaces

other than grass.

• When using any attachments, never direct discharge of

material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the

machine while in operation.

• Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards,

shields or without safety protective devices in place.

• Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed

the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed may

increase the hazard of personal injury.

• Before leaving the operator’s position:

- disengage the power take-off and lower the at tach-

ments;

- change into neutral and set the parking brake;

- stop the engine and remove the key.

• Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine, and

dis con nect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the ignition key

- before cleaning blockages or unclogging chute;

- before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower;

- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower

for damage and make repairs before re start ing and

op er at ing the equip ment;

- if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check

im me di ate ly).

• Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or not

in use.

• Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment

- before refueling;

- before removing the grass catcher;

- before making height adjustment unless ad just ment

can be made from the op er a tor’s position.

• Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if

the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel

off at the conclusion of mowing.
