• Use extra care while operating machine with
grass catchers or other attachments; they can
affect the stability of the machine. Do not use on
steep slopes.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge
caves in.

Be especially careful when driving on slopes.
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 mowing area and in the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than
the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters
the area.
• Before and while backing, look behind and down
for small children.
• Never carry children, even with the blades shut
off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or
interfere with safe machine operation. Children
who have been given rides in the past may
suddenly appear in the mowing area for another
ride and be run over or backed over by the
machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block
your view of a child.
