• Be sure the area is clear of other people
before mowing. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
• Never carry passengers or children even
with the blades off.
• Do not drive in reverse unless absolutely
necessary. Always look down and behind
before and while backing.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and
be seriously injured or interfere with safe
machine operation.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and
under the watchful care of another respon-
sible adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children
enter the area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and
down for small children.
• Mow up and down slopes (10° Max), not
across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven
terrain could overturn the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that
you will not have to stop or shift while on the
slope.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
• If machine stops while going uphill, disen-
gage blades, shift into reverse and back
down slowly.
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,
and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill,
if possible.
