COMMERCIAL WEED MOWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

We are concerned for your safety, but no amount of effort on our part would be sufficient unless you are concerned for yourself and others. Please read this carefully and follow everything that pertains to your rental of the commercial weed mower.

1. Be familiar with the area you’re going to cut the weeds, (largeholes, slopes, and obstacles.)
   
2. Cut only in daylight or in artificial light.
   
3. Before cutting weeds make sure the area is clear of solid objects or debris that could be
   thrown or damage the machine.
   
4. Do not cut when it’s raining or the grass is wet. You could slipand injure yourself.
   
5. Do not operate the weed cutter without the deflectors or the shields inplace.
   
6. Before beginning work, check the weed cutter to make sure no damage hasoccurred while in
   transit, to the controls or safety devices. If damage has occurred contactyour local rental center
   immediately. DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE CONTACTED QUALITY!
   
7. ALWAYS, WEAR PROTECTIVE EYE DEVICES!!!

   operate a weed cutter.
   
9. Keep others, especially small children and pets safely away from the area and commercial weed cutter by
   a minimum of at least 100 feet. Objects can be thrown great distances so when moving over the top of loose gravel and other debris be very careful.

    when operating a commercial weed cutter.

12. NEVER cut weeds by pulling the mower towards yourself. Cut across the face of a slope, not up and down. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not cut weeds on excessively steep slopes that you can not comfortably walk on.
    
13. Never operate the commercial weed mower under the influence of alcohol or any medication..
    
14. Before handling the weed cutter or attachments in any way, SHUT THE ENGINEOFF AND
    WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP! Be careful not to touch the
    engine parts when the engine is HOT. ALWAYS allow the engine to cool before refueling it.
    
15. Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower even for a moment.
    
16. While using a weed cutter, get in the habit of not hurrying or taking things for granted. When in doubt about equipment or the surroundings, stop the machine and take the time to check. If you still have questions, call QUALITY. Make sure at all times you have 100% control of the weed cutter.
    
17. NEVER, under any conditions, remove, cut, bend, weld, or change the standard parts on any equipment. This includes all the shields and guards and electrical devices. A change made on your part may make the machine unsafe. Built in safety features are effective only when maintained and kept in place.
