Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents,
which
can result in severe injury. Operation
on slopes requires extra
caution.
If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your
safety, use the slope gauge included
as part of this manual to
measure slopes before operating
this machine
on a sloped or
hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not mow it.
Mow across
the face of slopes;
never
up and down.
Exercise
extreme
caution
when
changing
direction
on slopes.
Watch
for holes,
ruts, rocks, hidden
objects,
or bumps
which
can cause
you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
Always be sure of your footing.
A slip and fall can cause
serious personal
injury. If you feel you are losing your
balance,
release the blade control
handle immediately
and
the blade will stop rotating
within three (3) seconds.
1.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you
could lose your footing or balance.
2.
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees as shown on
the slope gauge.
3.
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause
slipping.
Children
Tragic accidents
can occur if the operator
is not alert to the
presence of children.
Children are often attracted
to the mower
and the mowing
activity.
They do not understand
the dangers.
Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
Keep children
out of the mowing
area and under watchful
care of a responsible
adult other than the operator.
Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

Before and while moving
backwards,
look behind and
down for small children.
Use extreme
care when approaching
blind corners,
doorways,
shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure
your vision of a child who may run into the mower.
Keep children
away from hot or running
engines.
They can
suffer burns from a hot muffler.
Never allow children
under 14 years of age to operate this
machine.
Children
14 and over should
read and understand
the instructions
and safe operation
practices
in this manual
and on the machine
and be trained
and supervised
by an
adult.
