Operating

Only operate the machine in daylight or good artificial light.
Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine, or cause operator to lose their balance or footing.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Do not direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces

Slope Specific

Slopes are a major factor related to accidents. Operation on slopes requires extra caution.
Travel in the manufacturer recommended direction on slopes. Use caution while operating near dropoffs.
Avoid mowing wet grass. (Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.)
Do not operate machine under any condition where traction, steering, or stability is in question. Mower could slide even if the wheels are stopped.
Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
Use extra care while operating machine with a grass catcher or other attachment(s). They can affect the stability of the machine.
