Speeding with any mower is dangerous, and so is 
traveling faster than conditions should permit on 
this mower.  Sudden stops from excessive speed 
or falling off the mower may cause serious injury 
or death. 
 
 
 
 
 
Operation In Reverse 
Always keep a firm grip on the mower stationary 
handlebar with both hands.  Keep both feet firmly 
on the foot platform.  Look behind you before 
backing to prevent injuring yourself or anyone 
behind you.  Operate the mower very slowly, 
inching it backward until you become familiar with 
how the mower operates.  Always operate slowly 
if in an awkward location or position.  While 
backing up never place your foot or feet on the 
ground near the back edge of the mower to 
prevent serious personal injury if the mower were 
to run over you.   
 
 
 
 
 
Zero-Radius Turn Operation 
During zero-radius turns (when one mower wheel 
rotates backwards while the other rotates forward) 
drive extra slowly to reduce the possibility of 
losing traction, or control, or becoming dizzy.  This 
will help prevent you from being thrown off the 
mower.  Be aware that if you do a turn on a slope 
you may go through all of the orientations to a 
slope mentioned below and must handle the 
mower accordingly. 
 
 
 
 
 
Operation on Slopes 
DO NOT operate on steep slopes.  Do not 
operate the mower on slopes steeper than you 
can feel secure about the traction of the tires and 
the stability of the mower.  Do not operate the 
mower on slopes at all when the grass is wet.  
There is a danger of suddenly sliding sideways or 
down the hill.  When operating on a slope, travel 
across the grade whenever possible, not in an up 
or down pattern.  Reduce speed and exercise 
extreme caution on slopes and in sharp turns to 
prevent tipping or loss of control.  Be especially 
cautious when changing direction on slopes.  
Heavier operators may consider obtaining the 
optional weight bar which is designed to add 
weight to the front of the machine. 
 
When pointing up a slope, your mower has the 
most weight on the drive wheels and therefore the 
most traction at the tires.  However, this is the 
angle that it has the most tendency to tip back 
(“pop a wheelie.”)  This is the preferred angle for 
mowing small areas of steeper slopes. 
WARNING
 
Recommendations for this angle: 
• Lean as far forward as possible to add your 
weight to the front of the mower. 
• Accelerate gently.  Do not accelerate quickly to 
avoid “popping a wheelie”. 
• If backing down the hill, do not stop suddenly 
but slow down gradually. 
 
When pointing down a slope, your mower has 
the least weight on the rear drive wheels and 
therefore the least traction at the tires.  This is the 
angle that the mower has the most tendency to 
slide.  However, this is the angle that it has the 
least tendency to tip back.  Avoid this angle, as it 
has the least advantage for your mower. 
    
WARNING 
 
Recommendations for this angle: 
• Lean back with arms stretched out straight while 
holding onto the stationary handlebar.  This 
transfers more of your body weight to the 
rear drive wheels for more traction. 
• Do not change speed suddenly to minimize the 
tendency of going into a slide.  Accelerate 
and decelerate gently.  If you ever go into an 
uncontrolled slide while pointing down a 
slope the recommended procedure is to let 
go of the handles and jump off if necessary.  
Otherwise, control the mower gently and 
stay off slopes that tend to make the wheels 
slide. 
    
WARNING 
 
When crossing a slope sideways, your mower 
has the average amount of weight on the drive 
wheels versus the front wheels, similar to level 
ground.  However, this angle leaves the least 
weight on the higher side drive wheel, tending to 
make it slip.  This is the preferred angle for 
mowing large areas of gentle slopes.
