Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.

Think Safety First

Carefully read all safety instructions and symbols in the
safety section. Knowing this information could help you or
bystanders avoid injury.
DANGER
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death, or
drowning.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
• Do not operate near dropoffs or near water.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
