• Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments. These can change the stability of the
product.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
DO NOT
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary and then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embandments. The mower could suddenly turn over
if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an
edge caves in.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could
cause sliding.
• Do not operate the product under any condition
where traction, steering, or stability is in question.
Tires could slide even if the wheels are stopped.
• Do not try to stabilize the product by putting your foot
on the ground.
• Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the product 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 another responsible adult.

area.

small children.
4. Never carry children, even with the blades shut off.

rides in the past could suddenly appear in the
mowing area for another ride and be run over or
backed over by the product.

6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure
