recommendations or specifications.

• Inspect for damage.
• Repair any damage before restarting and operating the lawn mower.

OPERATING ON A SLOPE
Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which can result in severe
injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope,
do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is included as part of this manual to
measure slopes before operating this mower on a sloped or hilly area. Do not mow a slope that
has an angle of greater than 15°.
• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., that can be
tripped over or thrown by the blade.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the switch
handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or
balance.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.
CHILDREN
• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children. Keep
children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult. Stay alert,
and turn the mower off if a child enters the mowing area. Look behind and down for small
children before and while moving back wards. Use extreme care when approaching blind
corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your view of a child who
may run into the path of the mower.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this mower. Children who are 14 years
of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this
manual, and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
