is generally a warning of trouble.
17 . Always wear eye protection
when operating machine.
18. See manufacturer's instructions for proper
operation and installation of accessories. Only
use accessories approved by the manufacturer.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively
steep slopes. Poor footing could
cause a slip and fall accident.
4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,
or embankments. You could lose
your footing or balance.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is
not alert to the presence of children. Children
are often attracted to the machine and the
mowing activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and
under the watchful care of a responsible
adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if
a child enters the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the machine.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may block your view of a child.
IV. SERVICE
GENERAL SERVICE
1. Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never tamper with safety devices. Check
their proper operation regularly.
3. Keep machine free of grass, leaves,
or other debris build-up.
4. If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the
machine. Repair, if necessary, before starting.
5. Never make any adjustments or repairs
with the engine (motor) running.
6. Always unplug electric mowers before
adjusting, cleaning, or repairing.
7 . Check grass catcher components and the safety
flap frequently and replace with manufacturer's
recommended parts, when necessary.
8. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the
blade or wear gloves, and use extra
caution when servicing them.
