• 
NEVER allow children to operate the 
machine.
• 
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.
