OPERATING THE MOWER
Safe Mowing Practices For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and
avoid losing control of the riding mower.
Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Be very careful when
mowing uneven or rough ground.
Do not operate the riding mower near embankments, drop
offs or ditches. The riding mower could suddenly turn over if
a wheel is near the edge and it caves in or gives way.
Do not attempt to stabilize the riding mower by putting your
foot on the ground. Keep your feet on the platform and near
the pedals.
Take extra care when mowing near blind corners, shrubs,
trees or any other objects that may obscure your vision. If
you do strike an object, set the parking break, remove the
ignition key and inspect the riding mower for damage.
Repair any damage before any further operation.
The blades are sharp and spin at high
speed.
A spinning blade can cut you severely
and can amputate fingers and toes.
l Wear protective footwear.
l 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.
