1.2 TRAINING 1.2.1 Regard the Exmark mower as a piece of power equipment and teach this regard to all who operate this unit. 1.2.2 Read the instructions carefully. Familiarize yourself with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read English, it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to them. 1.2.3 Do not allow operation of this machine by untrained personnel. Never allow children, teenagers, or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. 1.2.4 Avoid mowing 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. 1.3 PREPARATION 1.3.1 Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved by Exmark. 1.3.2 The use of personal protective equipment, such as (but not limited to) protection for the eyes, ears, feet, and head is recommended. CAUTION POTENTIAL HAZARD ¦ This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85 dBA at the operator’s ear when in operation. WHAT CAN HAPPEN ¦ Exposure to sound levels of 85 dBA or above for extended periods of time can cause hearing loss. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD ¦ Wear hearing protection when operating this machine. 1.3.3 While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate equipment when barefoot or when wearing open sandals. - 1 - 1.3.4 Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other foreign objects which may damage the equipment or cause personal injury to the operator or bystanders. WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD ¦ Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless deadly poison. WHAT CAN HAPPEN ¦ Carbon monoxide can kill you. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD ¦ Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined area where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. DANGER POTENTIAL HAZARD ¦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. WHAT CAN HAPPEN ¦ A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD ¦ DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from an open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by spark. ¦ Refuel only outdoors. ¦ Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children. ¦ Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running or when the engine is hot. ¦ Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel spillage. ¦ If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine. Move away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated. ¦ Do not operate without entire exhaust system in place and in proper working condition. - 2 - DANGER POTENTIAL HAZARD ¦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. WHAT CAN HAPPEN ¦ A static charge can ignite gasoline vapors. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others, and cause property damage. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD ¦ Purchase and store gasoline only in an approved container. ¦ Always place gasoline containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. ¦ Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge. ¦ When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel the equipment with its wheels on the ground. ¦ If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle. ¦ If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD ¦ Gasoline vapor can collect inside enclosed trailers and may be ignited by electrical sparks or hot engine/exhaust components. WHAT CAN HAPPEN ¦ Explosion and fire may occur, resulting in property damage, personal injury, and/or death. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD ¦ Provide adequate ventilation of any enclosed trailer to prevent build up of gasoline vapors, especially at floor level. ¦ Refuel only outdoors, never inside an enclosed trailer. ¦ Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage containers have proper caps installed to prevent spillage and minimize vapor escaping into the trailer. ¦ Do not place any equipment that is leaking gasoline in an enclosed trailer. - 3 - 1.4 OPERATION Although hazard control and accident prevention are partially dependent upon the design and co...
