Always be sure of your footing; walk;
never run.
15. Disengage the drive system, if so
equipped, before starting the engine
(motor).
16. If the machine should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine (motor)
and check for the cause immediately.
Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
17. Always wear eye protection when
operating machine.
18. See manufacturer's instructions for proper
operation and installation of accessories.
Only use accessories approved by the
manufacturer.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents, which can result in severe
injury. Operation on all slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution

when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain
could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively
steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a
slip and fall accident.
4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,
or embankments. You could lose your
footing or balance.
III. CHILDREN
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.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and
under the watchful care of a responsible
adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child
enters the area.
3. Never allow children to operate the
machine.
