SAFETY RULES
& Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers &
• Be sure the areaisclear of other people before mowing.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers or children even with the blades
off.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while backing.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
• Mow up and down slopes (15 ° Max), not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
• If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades,
shift into reverse and back down slowly.
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible:
