Retaining Walls, Drop-offs, and Water
Retaining walls and drop-offs around steps and water are a common
hazard. Give yourself a minimum of two mower widths of clearance
around these hazards and hand-trim with a walk behind mower or
string trimmer. Wheels dropping over retaining walls, edges, ditches,
embankments, or into water can cause rollovers, which may result in
serious injury, death, or drowning.
Overhead Obstacles
Check for overhead clearances before driving under
any objects. Do not allow the roll bar to contact low
overhanging obstacles such as tree branches and
guide wires.
Roll Bar Use
Keep the roll bar in the raised position and fasten the seat
belt. There is no roll over protection when the roll bar is
down! Do not jump off if the mower tips (it is safer to be
secured by the seat belt with the roll bar raised.)
Lower the roll bar only when necessary (such as to
temporarily clear a low overhanging obstacle) and NEVER
remove it. Do NOT use the seat belt when the roll bar is
down. Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
