1.6 User Qualifications
This product is designed for use by physically fit, experienced, professional commercial mower operators
who have a minimum of 160 hours of experience operating twelve horsepower and greater industrial
mowers. Operators must be 18 years or older and weigh at least 120 pounds and no more than 325
pounds. They must have read and understood this manual. DO NOT allow children to operate the mower.
Never allow passengers on the mower. DO NOT allow adults to operate the mower without proper
instruction mentioned above.
1.7 User Clothing
DO NOT operate the mower while wearing sandals, tennis shoes, sneakers, or shorts. Always wear long
non-baggy pants. Wear high-top leather steel-toed work boots with thick, textured tread, soft-rubber soled
at all times. Hard or smooth soled shoes are too slippery for a good footing on mower platform. NEVER
wear loose-fitting clothing or jacket pockets that can get caught on the handlebars or control levers of any
mower you drive. Wearing safety glasses, ear protection and safety shoes is advisable and required by
some local ordinances and insurance regulations.
1.8 Inspect Mower Before Each Use
DO NOT use the mower if any parts are not maintained in good operating condition. Examine the moving
parts prior to each use. Look for excessive wear, bald or worn tires, cracks in parts, loose or missing bolts,
cotter pins, linchpins or “hair” pins or cable yoke pins and replace before operating the mower. Make sure
all safety equipment provided with the mower is in good operating order, including all the warning decals
and the required operator-presence device which stops the engine and blades when the foot-operated
Operator Presence Control (OPC) switch is released. (To test the OPC, follow instructions in the
Operating
Instructions section of this manual.) Inspect the two anti-tip rollers and their respective bolts at the rear of
the mower for tightness and proper operation. Be sure that all parts of the hand-operated hydraulic control
system are tight and secure. This is to reduce the possibility that the mower could have a loss of control.
