SAFETY
Personal Safety Equipment
Make sure that you have rst aid equipment
close at hand when using the machine.Never
use the machine when barefoot.
Always wear protective shoes or boots,
preferably with steel toe caps.
Always wear approved protective glasses or a
full visor when assembling or driving.
Always wear gloves when handling the blades.
Never wear loose clothing that can get caught
in moving parts.
Use ear protectors to avoid damage to hearing.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on
it, do not mow it.
Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees
maximum), not across.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not
have to stop while on the slope.
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose
traction.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope.
If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in
speed or direction, which could cause the
machine to roll over.
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.
