•

Make sure that you have first aid equipment 
close at hand when using the machine.

•

Never use the machine when barefoot. 
Always wear protective shoes or boots, 
preferably with steel toecaps.

•

Always wear approved protective glasses 
or a full visor when assembling or driving.

•

Always wear gloves when handling the 
blades.

•

Never wear loose clothing that can get caught 
in moving parts.

•

Use ear protectors to avoid damage to 
hearing.

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of 
control and tip-over accidents, which can 
result in severe injury or death. Operation on 
all slopes requires extra caution. If you 
cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy 
on it, do not mow it.

•

Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees 
maximium), not across.

•

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or 
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain 
could overturn the machine. Tall grass 
can hide obstacles.

•

Choose a low ground speed so that you 
will not have to stop while on the slope.

•

Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose 
traction.

•

Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a 
slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage 
the blades and proceed slowly straight 
down the slope.

•

Keep all movement on the slopes slow 
and gradual. Do not make sudden 
changes in speed or direction, which 
could cause the machine to roll over.
