SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Your mower is only as safe as the operator.
Carelessness or operator error may result in serious
bodily injury or death.  Hazard control and accident
prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
prudence, and proper training of the personnel involved in
the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the
equipment.  Make sure every operator is properly trained
and thoroughly familiar with all of the controls before
operating the mower. The owner/user can prevent and is
responsible for accidents or injuries occuring to
themselves, other people or property.
