ACCIDENT PATTERNS TO AVOID
SAFETY
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
I.
II.
III.
CONTACT WITH THE ROTATING
BLADE - This accident usually happens when the operator is clearing the discharge chute of grass, (especially when the grass is wet), or when the operator adjusts the machine without turning it off and waiting for the blades to completely stop.
PROPELLED OBJECTS -- Sticks, rocks, wires, and other objects can be propelled out through the discharge chute or from under the mower housing. Bystanders are particularly vulnerable.
GRASS CATCHER OR GUARD - The mower shall not be operated without either the entire grass catcher or guard in place.
1. PEOPLE WHO OPERATE, SERVICE, OR
ARE OTHERWISE ASSOCIATED with the
Country Clipper Hydrostatic Drive Walkbehind Mower should be trained in its proper use and warned of its dangers. Before operating, adjusting, or servicing the Country
Clipper Hydrostatic Drive Walk-behind Mower they should read and understand this entire manual and the engine owner’s manual. If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) can not read
English it is the owner’s responsibility to explain this material to them. The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to themselves, other people or property. mowers are used on steep slopes, embankments or hills. The operator in these cases can come in contact with the blades or sustain injuries during a fall.
2. AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS.
Keep hands and feet from under mowing deck and away from blades at all times. Turn engine (motor) off if you must unclog the chute.
V. MOWER RUNNING OVER THE VICTIM -
This usually happens when a mower is driven in reverse. The accident victims are most often young children whom, unseen by the operator of the mower, were in the area being mowed.
3. AVOID HILLS AND SLOPES.
Use extreme caution when mowing across slopes. NEVER mow up and down the face of a slope.
Reduce speed and use caution to start, stop and maneuver. To prevent loss of control on a slope avoid sharp turns, sudden changes in direction, and sudden stops and starts.
