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 recks, 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.
• Use extra care when approaching blind
corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.

engine to cool before
refueling. Do
not smoke.
-Never
refuel the machine indoors.
- Never store the machine or fuel
container
inside where there is an
open flame,
such as a water heater.
