machine before starting.

•Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions,to operate

the machine.

rocks, toys,wire, etc., whichcould be

picked up and thrown by the blade.

• Be sure the area isclear of other

people before mowing. Stop machine

if anyone enters the area.

•Never can'y passengers.

_/aearsand above, are involved in a

rge percentage of dding mower-

related injudes. These operators

should evaluate their ability to operate

the dding mower safely enough to

protectthemselves and others from

sedous in ury.

•Keep mach ne free of grass, leaves or

other debds build-up which can touch

hotexhaust /engine parts and bum. Do

not allow the mower deck to plow

leaves or other debds which can cause

build-upto occur. Clean any oil or fuel

spillage before operating or storing the

machine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a majorfactor related to loss-of-

control and tipover accidents, which can

result in severe in ury or death. All slopes

requ re extra caut on. fyoucannot back up

the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not

mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, 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 ob-

stacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear

so that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dationsfor wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stabilityof the machine.

•Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.
