SAFETY

•

•  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.
