SAFE MOWING PRACTICES
For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be careful to
avoid losing your footing and your control of the mower. Keep a firm
grip on the handlebar, and walk, never run, with the mower. Be very
careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
If stuck, do not kick or shove the mower with your foot. Use the
handlebar to control the mower.
The blade is sharp and spins at high speed.
A spinning blade can cut you severely and
can amputate fingers and toes.
0 Wear protective footwear.
l
Keep your hands and feet away from the
mower deck while the engine is running.

adjustment, inspection, or maintenance.

fall, and lose control
of the mower.
