Always observe the "SAFETY RULES".

•      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 mow 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 (15° 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  slow  speed.  Choose  a  low  gear  so  that  you  will  not 

have to stop or shift while on the slope.

•      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.
