SAFETY RULES

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and 

tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or 

death. All slopes require 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° Max.), not across.
•  Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
•  Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain

could overturn the machine. 

•  Use slow speed. Choose a low speed so that you 

will not have to stop while on the slope.

•  Use extra care with grass baggers or other

attachments. These can change the stability of the 

machine.

•  Keep all movement on the slopes

slow and 

gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed

or direction.

•  Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose

traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly 

straight down the slope.

•  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.

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.

•

•  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

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.

•  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.

•  Never run a machine inside a closed area.
•  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.

•  Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other 

debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow 

machine to cool before storing.
