6. EQUIPMENT

6. 1. NITROGEN TRAILER

Nitrogen trailers are required to enter units during start-up, shutdown and

emergencies. Trailer driver has to carefully reverse the trailer in between

units to reach the required location.

1. Entry of Nitrogen trailers shall only be on a hot work permit.

2. Only those trailer drivers who have been trained and certified shall

sign executing authority column. Authorization shall be limited only

to entry/exit and positioning of the trailer. (Note: Simplified and

customized work permit training may be arranged.)

3. The trailer shall have a spark arrestor, fire extinguisher and valid

safety certificate unless waived by the shift leader during

emergencies.

4. Trailer driver must be accompanied by a helper who shall guide the

trailer while reversing.

5. Permit for truck entry shall be closed before issuing a permit to give

connections. Likewise disconnecting permit has to be closed before

issuing a permit for taking empty trailers out.

6. 2. AIR COMPRESSOR

1. Some compressors are built with an internal cooling fan. When the

power switch is turned on, the cooling fan will start up and operate

continuously even when the pump has automatically shut off.

2. Turn the power switch to the "off" position when you are done using

your air compressor.

3. Do not direct air stream at body.

4. Keep in mind that some compressors may be set to start automatically

at preset pressures.

5. Do not touch moving parts. Keep all guards in place.





6. When the compressor is used to supply breathable air as in the case of

blasting jobs, precautions as mentioned in SHE Document: SWP on

Surface Preparation & Painting shall be taken.

7. Do not adjust a regulator to result in output pressure greater than

marked maximum pressure of the tool or attachment you're using.

8. Do not tamper the PSV mounted on the receiver. Do not operate

without proper safety valve in place.

9. Drain liquid from the air tank daily or after each use. Failure to

properly drain liquid from the air tank may cause rust from moisture

buildup, which weakens the tank and could lead to a violent tank

explosion.

6.3. TRUCKS

6.3. 1. GARBAGE TRUCK

General Safety - Safe Operation:

1. Only trained and authorized operators shall be permitted to

operate the designated equipment.

2. Stand clear when tailgate or packing mechanism is opened

or in motion.

3. Do not place hands or feet near any moving part or packing

mechanism while the engine is running.

4. Whenever the tailgate is in any elevated or raised position it

must be securely propped or blocked so it cannot fall.

5. Do not work on or near hydraulic pump, PTO, driveline.

universal or any rotating part while the engine is running.

6. Stop engine and remove ignition key before entering body.

7. Keep access door closed when ejector panel is in motion.

8. Do not drive or move the unit with the tailgate in any

position except fully down and locked.

9. Never attempt to disconnect any hydraulic line unless

pressure is released in the circuit and the machine elements

to which the hydraulic actuator is attached are supported or

blocked from movement.





10. Instruction and warning decals are important. Clean or

replace all decals if they cannot be read. Use them for

quick reference information.

11. Do not stand in the hopper or on the hopper sill while

adjustments are being made on the packing mechanism with

the machine running.

During repairs to the tail gate, packing mechanism, or hydraulic drive

system, a lockout procedure should be employed where the power shall be

shut off, the ignition key removed, and a tag out sign placed on the

steering wheel warning against any attempt to start the unit.

6.3.2. BOOM TRUCK

The boom truck is a truck with a telescopic lifting boom mounted on it.

General

1. Do not modify or attempt to modify the structure or operation of the

truck or boom.

2. A copy of the Operator’s Manual shall remain with the equipment at

all times.

3. Maintenance inspections.

a. Garage technician inspections.

b. Pre-operation inspections.

Before beginning boom truck operations, the operator shall

conduct a basic inspection of the boom truck. An inspection

checklist shall be kept in the cab of the truck. The checklist

shall document condition of the following items among other

things the boom for visual inspection for cracks, hydraulic leaks,

and other defects; function of lift controls

4. Report any unusual observation or occurrence during truck and/or

boom operation that may indicate required maintenance, repair or a

safety defect.

5. Before using the aerial device, the truck transmission shall be placed

in neutral (please check N or P), parking brake shall be set and the





outriggers set. The outriggers shall be positioned on pads or a solid

surface. Outriggers shall be fully extended irrespective of whether

load is being lifted or not. If outrigger footing is positioned onto

weak soil or mud, use boards, gravel, or whatever means are

necessary to obtain firm conditions. Use the following stability

guideline:

Firm conditions: concrete, cool asphalt

Weak conditions: bare soil, gravel, lawn, hot asphalt, similar

materials

6. Position the truck on as level a surface as possible before beginning

aerial device operations. If the truck must be parked on an incline of

12 percent or greater, wheels shall be chocked. Provided they can be

safely installed, wheel chocks shall be installed before using the aerial

device on an incline. If chocks cannot be safely installed, the boom

truck should not be used.

7. Operational Safety

a. Keep objects and personnel clear of aerial device operations at

all times.

b. After positioning and leveling the truck (truck must be

approximately level) and before beginning aerial device

operations, set up a perimeter system of cones or barricades

and caution tape for the purpose of keeping pedestrians away

from the work area

7. Before moving the boom truck for travel, the boom shall be inspected

to ensure that it is properly cradled and outriggers are in the stowed

position.





6.3.3. DUMP TRUCK

Truck whose contents can be emptied without handling; the front end of

the platform (box) can be pneumatically raised so that the load is

discharged by gravity. The main hazard is related to the stability of the

end-dump unit when the box is in the raised position.

1. When the center of gravity of box and load is not roughly between

the frame rails of the unit, there is a risk of tip-over.

2. Stability is adversely affected by one or more of the following

factors:

a. the unit is not on a level surface when dumping

b. a large amount of material is in the upper portion of the

raised box

c. material does not flow out of the top portion of the box, or

does not flow out of one side of the top portion

d. the rear wheels settle unevenly as the load moves to the rear

during dumping

e. wind may exert lateral loads, especially if the box is long, as

is the case with end-dump semi-trailers.

3. Stability may also be affected by the unit's mechanical condition:

a. poor rear suspension systems on one side of the vehicle

b. uneven tire pressures in rear wheels

c. worn or inadequate components of the lifting system such

as pins

d. worn or inadequate lifting cylinders.

4. Maintenance can play an important role in preventing tip-overs.

a. Check tire pressures daily. Tire pressures should be equal

on each side of the vehicle.





b. Examine and lubricate pins and bushings regularly.

c. Inspect suspension systems under load to ensure that they

work properly and provide even suspension. Weak

suspension systems should be replaced immediately.

d. Inspect hoist cylinders regularly. Worn cylinders should not

be replaced with smaller cylinders or with cylinders rated

at lower operating pressure.

e. Make sure that repairs to boxes leave bottom and sides

clear and unrestricted. Rough patchwork repairs near the

top of the box can catch and hold sticky materials.

5. Loading

a. Loading of the box front-to-back must meet allowable gross

weight and axle weight limitations. From side to side it is best

to load as evenly as possible.

b. If material is likely to flow poorly, lighten up the load in the

top end of the box. A slightly smaller load will be better than

a full load that causes a tip-over.

c. Box liners will help most materials flow better during

dumping. Liners also help to keep the box in good condition.

6. Dumping

a. Operators should be trained to recognize areas hazardous to

dumping, such as soft or uneven surfaces and inadequately

compacted fill.

b. Before dumping, operators should ensure that the tailgate is

unlocked and that the vehicle is on a reasonably level

surface. Dumping on surfaces that are not level is one of the

main causes of tip-overs.

c. Before spreading material by dumping it from a moving truck,

make sure that the entire length of travel is reasonably level.





d. Trucks should not dump when they are parked side by side

with another vehicle. When a dump unit tips over, it is often

the operator in the adjoining vehicle who is injured. Dumping

operations should be spread out.

e. Other personnel such as dozer operators, surveyors, and

spotters should be warned not to work near a dumping truck

in case it tips over.

f. Workers on foot should not congregate in areas where

dumping is under way.

g. When dumping wastes follow approved waste disposal

procedures.

6.4 BACK HOE

Back hoe is an excavator whose shovel bucket is attached to a hinged boom and

is drawn backward to move earth. Back hoe loaders (combination of back hoe

and front loader) can dig, scrape, load material, lift and with specialized

attachments do almost any required task.

1. Before starting and while operating a backhoe, look for people

or obstructions in the vicinity of the backhoe.

2. Employees working within an area where a backhoe is operating

must wear flagging garments (i.e., orange vests) and other

mandatory PPE.

3. Prior to starting, learn the locations of underground and

overhead utility lines, ditches, stumps, boulders, and other

hazards or obstructions in the work area.

4. Always extend the backhoe stabilizers prior to starting an

excavation task.

5. Always swing the backhoe arm uphill when excavating on a

hillside.

6. When transporting material in a loader bucket, keep the loader

bucket as low to the ground as possible to maintain backhoe

stability.





7. Only raise the loader bucket for the purpose of dumping

material.

8. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, or driving on

rough, slick, or muddy surfaces.

9. Only dismount (or mount) a backhoe when the engine is shut

off.

10. Never adjust or work on a backhoe unless the engine is shut off

and hydraulic pressure has been de energized.

11. Be aware that braking conditions may vary due to mud, loose

gravel or other conditions. There are always obstacles on the job

such as rocks, stones and debris. Soft soil conditions exist

around edges and deep holes.

12. When operating the loader be sure the back hoe is secured in the

upright position and carry the loader bucket low, close to the

ground. This allows maximum visibility and stability. Stay in gear

when traveling downhill. Use the engine's RPM to help maintain

control.

13. When working on backhoe, take precautions. Have it safely

blocked before working under it or through the loader arms.

Work with the bucket down. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations for routine maintenance.

14. Before beginning the back hoe digging process, lower the

stabilizers so the wheels are off the ground leveling the unit.

15. Check the boom swings to avoid hitting anyone or anything that

may be in the boom path.

16. Remember, the Operator is permitted to operate the backhoe

loader only from the driver's position. Never when he is on the

ground.

17. Operators should never use a backhoe loader without an operator

cab that does not have Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) or

Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS)

18. When operating on a slope, be sure the unit is level with the

stabilizers. Swing loads uphill to avoid a balance problem while





on the slope and place soil well away from the edge of the

trench.

19. When loading dump trucks, the dump truck driver must be out of

the cab and away from the process.

20. Never swing a load over the cab.

21. Back hoes get a lot of wear and tear and maintenance is required

from time to time. Be sure the boom is adequately blocked to

avoid a serious injury in case it falls. Never rely upon hydraulics

to hold the boom. It must be blocked to avoid a fall.

22. Chalk the tires when working on the vehicle and keep the bucket

teeth in good shape.

23. When refueling or handling fuel turn the engine off as well as

electrical or spark-producing motors. Ground the fuel nozzle or

funnel against the filler neck to avoid static electricity.

6.5. FRONT END LOADER

Front-end loaders are versatile and can be a valuable tool for construction

work. However, they change the center of gravity and the stability in the

tractor-loader combination, so they can be dangerous if not operated

properly. Changing the center of gravity presents a potential tipping hazard

for the operator.

6.5.1. Working with a Loader

1. Use a front–end loader only for its specific purpose. Never use it for

such things as removing fence posts, towing or to knock something

down. Never allow people to ride in the bucket. Never walk or work

under a raised loader. Raise and lower the loader arms slowly and

steadily. Never move or swing a load with people in the work area.





2. Load the bucket evenly, and avoid overloading to prevent upsets. Do

not exceed the load limits listed in the operator’s manual. Keep the

bucket low while carrying loads and operating on hills. A hole or

sudden bump can easily upset the tractor if the bucket is carried and

the rougher the terrain, the greater the danger of an upset.

3. Unsecured loads such as large, round bales carried without a bale fork

or grapple can roll back and crush the operator. With loaded buckets,

drive forward when going uphill. Back downhill with loads. Allow extra

room to turn and manoeuvre because of the extension of the bucket.

4. Travel slowly with front–end loaders filled. Carry the load low, to

maintain stability and visibility. However, make sure the load is high

enough to avoid contact with the pavement. Be careful when turning

with loads, especially those that may shift or slide. Add extra weight

on the rear of the tractor to counter-balance the weight of the load of

the front end loader. Check the operator’s manual for specific

recommendations.

5. When operating a front–end loader, watch the road or field. Avoid

holes, rocks, loose fill or any other obstacle that could upset the

tractor. Watch for overhead wire and obstacles when the loader is

raised. If working inside buildings, watch for low ceiling beams and

doorways to prevent being pinned or crushed between them and the

tractor. Also, be sure there is enough ventilation so carbon monoxide

from the tractor engine will not build up.

6. Be very careful when back filling. The weight of the fill material plus

the weight of the tractor and loader could cause the new construction

of collapse. Avoid undercutting high banks. Watch for falling rocks and

cave-ins if a high bank must be undercut. Stay away from the outer

edge when working along high banks and slopes.

7. When leaving the front–end loader, lower the bucket to the ground.

8. When working on front–end loaders, take precautions. Have the loader

safely blocked before working under it or through the loader arms.

Work with the bucket down. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations for routine maintenance.





9. While operating, two people should work together; one operating the

machine and the other directing the operator and watching for

dangers.

10. Know the pinch points and wrap points on the loader/backhoe.

11. Keep work area level; avoid developing ruts by occasionally back

dragging the bucket to smooth the surface.

12. When assessing the risks involved with the use of a FEL consider:

1. the potential for carried objects or loads to roll back or fall on

the operator

2. the capability of the front axle, wheels and tyres of the tractor

8. whether the Rated Operating Load (ROL) of the FEL will be

exceeded.





6.6. BULLDOZER

1. Travel slowly over rough terrain.

2. When making turns close to buildings or passing through narrow

passages, make sure there is enough clearance.

3. Be careful to avoid stumps and other immovable obstacles.

4. Do not use a dozer as a battering ram.

5. Do not stand with your feet under the blade when changing the

angle or removing the blade.

6.7 AUGUR DRILLING MACHINE

Operators and helpers may be exposed hazards when an auger strikes materials

beneath or above the surface. Major hazard also include injuries with hidden

materials on ground, contact with underground lines etc.

1. Follow the instructions in the manufacturer's operating and preventive

maintenance manual.

2. Look for obstacles that may need to be removed. Hand digging may verify

the presence or absence of underground material, including utilities.

3. Except for the operator, employees should not be near the auger when it is

operating.

4. Employees using hand tools should not move or remove spoil-pile while the

auger is operating.

5. The operator should sit or stand at the operator's station while operating the

auger.

6. Do not modify the operator's station or disable safety controls beyond

manufacturer's recommendations

7. Remain a safe distance (a minimum of 10 feet) from the auger when helping

the operator.

8. Do be sure the feed ram (mast) is vertical from side to side with respect to

the machine before lowering. Lower slowly to be sure feed ram (mast) will

clear other parts of the machine and fit correctly in the feed ram (mast)

rest.





9. Do Not move the machine with the Feed Ram (mast) raised. Always lower

the Feed Ram and raise the jacks before moving the machine.

10. Do Not attempt to dig unless the jacks are firmly placed and set on a hard

surface to eliminate thepossibility of turning the truck and digger over.

11. Do Not attempt to move the machine with a load suspended from the winch

line. Always keep the Feed Ram vertical and the auger on the ground when

lifting a load. Do not swing with a suspended load. Failure to heed this

warning may cause serious damage and/or personnel injuries.

12. Operator or helper shall not use face covering clothes like “gathra” while on

the job.

6.8 BOREHOLE DRILL RIGS

1. The equipment should never be used unless guards and safety devices

are in place and in good working order.

2. For stability ensure that front and rear legs are fitted and that the

mast is vertical before unit is used in stand-alone mode.

3. Before commencing sampling, wear ear protectors

4. Operator or helper shall not use face covering clothes like “gathra”

while on the job.

5. The area around the drop weight shall be clear of all personnel whilst

sampling is in progress. There is a safety zone around the drop weight

extending to 2 meters in all directions. This area must be clear at all

times.

6.9.CONCRETE MIXER

1. Never operate the machine without all guards in place and firmly

attached to the machine.

2. Make certain that the mixing drum is clear of obstructions and

stand clear of the machine while making power cord connections

3. When cleaning, lubricating, or adjusting the mixer, disconnect the

power plug.





4. Keep all people (except operator) a minimum of five (5) feet away

from the machine during operation.

5. Do not plug or unplug the motor while standing in or around damp

or wet ground

6. Do not start the motor if the drum is fully loaded.

7. Do not overload the motor. Always start the mixer before loading.

8. Never attempt to move the mixer while the motor is on.

9. Make certain that the work area around the machine is clear of

debris and obstructions to prevent tripping and/or falling onto the

machine.

10. Never let the mixer run unattended even for a brief moment. Turn

off the motor when the operator leaves the machine.

11. DO NOT overreach while working with the mixer. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times when loading or unloading the

mixer.

6.10 READY MIX CONCRETE TRUCKS

The following points shall be considered prior to setting up a pump truck:

1. Safest location for setting up the pump, considering soil conditions,

excavations, outriggers . Setting outriggers of a concrete pump with placing

boom is one of the most critical jobs of the concrete pump operator and

should always be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended

procedure.

2. Priming and washout area

3. Who will be providing the hand signals

4. Hose handling safety procedures

5. Pump truck and outriggers need to be 1’ back for every 1’ of depth from an

excavation

6. Safe clearance for outrigger extension and placement

7. Safe access for ready mix trucks

8. Proper number and securing of required safety slings, chains, or cables, for

any part of the pump that can fall and cause injury

9. All clamps are securely pinned





Any employee that is assigned the task of guiding the discharge hose must be aware

of the following safety guidelines:

1. Good communication with the pump operator will minimize the amount of

hose handling required for the job. Let the pump truck do the work.

2. Keep Hose at Arms Length! Do Not hug the hose! Pressure within the line can

cause the hose to whip forcefully when it discharges, and cause severe

injury.

3. Keep the hose end 2’ above the concrete pouring elevation to minimize

splatter.

4. Do Not kink the hose, as it can whip forcefully when the pressure is

discharged.

5. Never reach into the receiving hopper, valve area, or water box! The

machine may cycle unexpectedly from operation or line pressure!

6. Never pass under an extended outrigger, or stand near an outrigger when it’s

moving.

7. Never stand between the pump truck hopper and a ready mix truck as it is

backing up to the pump truck.

8. Be careful around the chute of a ready mix truck as it can swing suddenly.

9. Know where the pumps horn and emergency stop buttons are located.

10. Air ingression to concrete pumping delivery pipelines has revealed itself as a

considerable hazard under certain circumstances. Injuries to placing crew

personnel have been sustained when trapped air is momentarily compressed,

then released, causing the end hose to whip violently.

11. Hose whipping accidents can be avoided if people take the proper precautions

when air has been taken into the delivery system. Each person involved has to

know what to do, and knowing is a matter of education. Everyone needs

specific knowledge, and each person has to heed the warnings to protect

themselves. Communication between the personnel is crucial.To avoid injury

by a hose moving from release of trapped air, personnel must be out of the

end-hose movement area.





6.11. COMPACT EXCAVATORS

1. Know the worksite: Inspect work area for holes, drop-offs or

unstable ground.

2. Know the weight limitations of operating surfaces and clearances

3. Start excavator with steering levers and hydraulic controls in

neutral.

4. Move steering levers and pedals smoothly. Hydrostatic drive

systems are responsive. Excavator will move immediately when

controls are activated.

5. Check blade location before moving travel control levers or

pedals. Excavator will move in the direction of the blade when

steering levers are moved away from the operator.

6. Keep your attachment low when traveling.

7. Do not exceed the rated lift capacity. Read and understand the

load rating chart on the excavator.

8. Keep bystanders away from the maximum swing area. Never lift a

load over another bystander.

9. Always look in the direction of travel before moving the excavator

or rotating the house swing (slew).

10. Do not swing loads on a slope. Swing loads low and slowly. Do not

travel across slopes which are more than 15 degrees to the side or

to the back of the machine, or 25 degrees to the front. Keep boom

centered.

11. Never operate excavator’s controls from the ground. Always

activate the controls from the operator’s seat.

12. When getting On and Off use the grab-handles, track and skid-

resistant surfaces when getting on or off the excavator.

13. Do not jump off the excavator; Lower the attachment to the

ground when operator goes out.





6.12 CONCRETE VIBRATOR

1. Do not operate a machine that is powered by a gas or diesel

engine in a poorly ventilated space. These type of engines produce

toxic gases which cause serious health problems.

2. Pneumatic Machine: Check that the compressed air hose and the

hose coupling are not damaged.

3. Never attempt to loosen any compressed air hose that is

pressurized. First

4. Switch off the air at the compressor and then allow the machine

to run to a stop to discharge any existing compressed air.

5. The admissible sound of 85 dB (A), can be exceeded because of

the machine and/or the application. Long time exposure to loud

noise without ear protection can cause permanent damage to

hearing.

6. Long time exposure to vibration can cause damage to the hands

fingers and wrists. Do not use these vibrators if operator

experiencing discomfort, cramping or pain.

7. Operators and other personnel in the immediate vicinity of the

working zone shall have the mandatory PPE and also Dust mask

(dusty environments) and Eye Protection equipment.

8. Do not carry out maintenance work while the machine is moving or

while the engine is running. Before connecting vibrator, clear the

compressed air supply line of possible impurities, contaminants

and water.

9. Connect the vibrator to the quick release coupling securely. Insure

that locking pin is in place.





6.13 ROAD GRADER

1. Do not dismount from the grader with the engine running - lower all

attachments and stop engine first.

2. Before backing up, use extra care to ensure persons and equipment

are clear of the grader.

3. Know and use hand signals required for particular jobs and know

who has the responsibility for signaling.

4. Start and operate the grader only from the operator's seat.

5. Park the grader on level ground whenever possible and apply the

hand brake. On grades, park the grader with the wheels securely

blocked.

6. Select a gear that will prevent excessive speed when going

downhill. Do not coast downhill.

7. Note and avoid all hazards and obstructions such as overhangs,

ledges, slide areas, electrical lines, underground cables water

mains or gas lines.

8. Watch for bystanders and never allow anyone to be under or to

reach into the grader and its attachments while operating.

9. Use extreme care when working with hydraulic systems. Relieve the

hydraulic system pressure before performing any service.

6.14 COMPACTOR

The soil compactor has been exclusively designed for the compaction of

sand, gravel, crushed aggregates, semi-cohesive mixed material, concrete

block pavement etc.

1. Before starting the engine, check to ensure that the soil compactor

cannot slip out of control.

2. When running the machine, the operator is not allowed to leave the

operating controls of the soil compactor.





3. In addition, he must always have a sufficient visibility on the soil

compactor's zone of operation. The operator must be assisted by a

second person if, because of the operating conditions, the visibility on

the zone of operation is restricted.

4. Soil compactors must be used and operated in a way ensuring their

stability. The machine's stability is especially endangered on slopes

and brinks. Thus, keep clear of slopes and brinks.

5. When working on slopes, the operator must always walk on the uphill

side.

6. Compaction work on slopes exceeding the maximum gradeability of

the soil compactor is prohibited.

7. When working/traveling on slopes, always use extreme precaution and

work directly in uphill or downhill direction.

8. Moist and loose bases considerably reduce the grip of the soil

compactor on slopes. Increased danger of accident!

9. Passing unevenness or kerbs is only allowed at reduced speed.

10. In addition, the soil compactor must be operated in a way excluding

any risk of injury caused by the handle swinging towards the operator.

6.15 MOWERS

Mowers are the most common type of lawn care equipment. To avoid injury

with power mower equipment, one must pay close attention to his

surroundings. Whether you use a riding mower or a walk-behind mower,

follow these guidelines for lawn mower safety:

1. Conduct a premowing inspection of the lawn and remove any debris,

rocks, limbs, or other items that could become a projectile. Look for

concealed hazards such as holes.

2. Keep hands and feet away from moving blades.

3. Fill the tank with gas (if that is the fuel used) before beginning work.

(By filling the tank initially, you can avoid having to fill the tank later

when it is hot.)

4. Replace loud or faulty mufflers.





5. Shut off the engine before unclogging, servicing, or adjusting the

mower and before removing the grassbag. For added protection,

remove the ignition wire before working on the machine.

6.15.1 Walk-Behind Mowers

In addition to the general guidelines for mower safety, follow these

guidelines for walk-behind mower safety:

1. Do not bypass the safety device that stops the blade when the

operator releases his/her grip on the handle.

2. Mow across slopes rather than up and down slopes.

3. Work slowly and patiently when mowing tall grass or tough

weeds. Forcing the mower may cause repeated clogs and engine

stalls.

4. Never leave a running mower unattended. If mower has to be

stopped momentarily, cut the throttle to idle and make sure

the mower will not roll away.

6.15.2 Riding Mower

In addition to the general guidelines for mower safety, follow these

guidelines for riding lawn mower safety:

1. Before starting the engine, make sure the transmission is out

of gear and the mower blade clutch is disengaged.

2. Slow down when turning and when working on slopes. Mow up

and down slopes rather than across them.

3. Always look behind before backing.

4. If mower hits a large rock or stump, stop the mower and

inspect the blades and shaft. Replace damaged blades.

5. Never leave a running lawn mower unattended. Before leaving

the seat, park the mower on a flat area, disengage the mower

blades, and remove the ignition key.
