II. SLOPE
OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related
to slip
and 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
machine and the mowing activity. Never
assume 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.

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.
