•Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.

•Never carry passengers or children even with the blades off.

•Do not mow in reverse unless abso- lutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

•Never carry 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 if children 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.
