NEVER allow children to operate the machine.
•  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 drive 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 (10° 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 a slow speed while on slope or hill.
•  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.
