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 movement on the slopes slow and gradual. 

• 

Do not make sudden changes in speed or 

direction, which could cause 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.

• 

Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a foot 

• 

on the ground.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or 

• 

embankments. The machine could suddenly roll 

over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge 

caves in.
