Inspect Safety Labels
Safety decals are critical to the safe operation of the
mower. Inspect the mower for any damaged, missing, or
unreadable decals. Replace decals as needed before
placing the mower back in service.
Keep Work Area Clean
A clean, organized, well-lit work area is important to
promote safe working conditions.
• Keep floor clean of debris and clear of parts and
tools.
• Clean up any spilled fuel, oil, and/or chemicals
immediately.
• Store all air hoses and electrical cords properly when
not in use.
Keep Work Area Well Ventilated
WARNING
Certain test and adjustment procedures require the
engine to be running. Be sure work area is well
ventilated; never run the engine in an enclosed area.
Use Proper Eye and Face
Protection
WARNING
Always wear eye protection while in a shop environment.
• Safety Glasses: Safety glasses offer a minimum level
of protection from flying debris.
• Face Shields: Face shields are often used along with
safety glasses to offer a higher level of protection
when sparks and flying debris are present.
• Vented Goggles: Goggles offer side protection not
offered by safety glasses alone.
• Unvented Goggles: Unvented goggles offer
protection from chemical splashes and vapors.
