Safe Mowing Practices - Honda HA4118H38A Owner's Manual

OPERATION
SAFE MOWING PRACTICES
For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be careful to
avoid losing control of the lawn tractor.
Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Be very careful when mowing
uneven or rough ground.
Do not operate the lawn tractor near embankments, dropoffs or
ditches. The lawn tractor could suddenly turn over if a wheel is near
the edge and it caves in or gives way.
Do not attempt to stabilize the lawn tractor by putting your foot on the
ground. Keep your feet on the platform and near the pedals.
Take extra care when mowing near blind corners, shrubs, trees or any
other objects that may obscure your vision. If you do strike an object:
stop, set the parking brake, remove the ignition key and inspect the
lawn tractor for damage. Repair any damage.
The blades are sharp and spin at high
speed.
A spinning blade can cut you severely
and can amputate fingers and toes.
l
Wear protective footwear.
l
Keep your hands and feet away
from the mower deck while the
engine is running.
l
Stop the engine before perform-
ing any adjustment, inspection, or
maintenance.
