,,
Be sure the area is clear 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.
