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 toe caps.
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 

• 

maximum), 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.
Use extra care while operating machine with 

• 

grass catchers or other attachments; they can 

affect the stability of the machine.
Do not use on steep slopes.
