SAFETY RULES
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR RIDE-ON MOWERS
DO NOT
•  Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, 
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
•  Do not mow near drop-off, ditches, or 
embankments. The mower could suddenly turn
over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, 
or if an edge caves in.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction  
could cause sliding.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your 
foot on the ground.
CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to 
the presence of children. Children are often attracted 
to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume 
that children will remain where you last saw them.
NEVER allow children to operate the machine.
•  Keep children out of the mowing area and under
the watchful care of another responsible adult.
•  Be alert and turn off the machine if children enter
the area.
•  Before and when backing, look behind and
down 
for small children.
•  Never carry children. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe machine 
operation.
•  Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure 
vision.
SERVICE
•  The operation of any mower can result in foreign
objects thrown into the eyes, which can result 
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety 
glasses or eye shields while operating your 
mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. 
We recommend a wide vision safety mask over
spectacles or standard safety glasses.
•  Use extra care in handling gasoline and other 
fuels. They are flammable and vapors are
explosive.
  - 
Use only an approved container.
  - 
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the 
engine running.
  - 
Allow engine to cool before refueling.
 -
Do not smoke.
  - 
Never refuel the machine indoors.
  - 
Never store the machine or fuel container 
inside where there is an open flame, such as a
water heater.

•  Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment
bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.
•  Never tamper with safety devices. Check there
proper operation regularly.
