SAFETY RULES
A:Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers A
Be sure the area isclear of other people before mowing.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Nevercarry passengers or children even with the blades
off.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always Iookdown and behind before and while backing.
Nevercarry 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 responsible adult.
Be alert and turn machine off ifchildren enter the area.
Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
Mow up and down slopes (15 ° 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, disengage blades,
shift into reverse and back down slowly.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
