II. SLOPE
OPERATION
Slopes
are a major factor
related
to slip &
fall accidents
which
can result in severe
injury. All slopes
require
extra caution.
If
you feel uneasy
on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
• Mow across
the face of slopes:
never
up and down.
Exercise
extreme
caution
when
changing
direction
on slopes.
• Remove
obstacles
such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
• Watch
for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
• Do not trim near drop-offs,
ditches
or
embankments.
The operator
could
lose
footing
or balance.
• Do not trim excessively
steep slopes.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced
footing
could cause slipping.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents
can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence
of children.
Children
are often attracted
to the ma-
chine
and the mowing
activity.
Never as-
sume that children
will remain
where
you
last saw them.
• Keep children
out of the trimming
area
and under the watchful
care of another
responsible
adult.
• Be alert and turn machine
off if children
enter
the area.
• Before
and while walking
backwards,
look behind
and down for small children.
• Never allow children
to operate
the
machine.
• Use extra care when
approaching
blind
corners,
shrubs,
trees,
or other objects
that may obscure
vision.
IV. SAFE
HANDLING
OF GASOLINE

care in handling
gasoline.
Gasoline
is extremely
flammable
and the
vapors
are explosive.
• Extinguish
all cigarettes,
cigars,
pipes
and other
sources
of ignition.
• Use only an approved
container.
• Never remove
gas cap or add fuel with
the engine
running.
Allow engine
to
cool before
refueling.

er where
