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.

under the watchful care of a responsible
adult other than the operator.
