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.
