SAFE MOWING PRACTICES

For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be careful to

avoid losing your footing and your control of the mower. Keep a firm

grip on the handlebar, and walk, never run, with the mower. Be very

careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.

If stuck, do not kick or shove the mower with your foot. Use the

handlebar to control the mower.

Slopes

Mow across slopes, not up and

down. Avoid steep slopes (more

than 20

°), and be careful when

changing direction. Mowing on a

slope when the grass is damp or

wet could cause you to slip, fall,

and lose control of the mower.

 WARNING

The blade is sharp and spins at high speed.

A spinning blade can cut you severely and

can amputate fingers and toes.

• Wear protective footwear.

• Keep your hands and feet away from

the mower deck while the engine is

running.

• Stop the engine before performing any

adjustment, inspection, or maintenance.
