BEFORE OPERATION
There are three areas to be checked before using the lawn tractor:
l Check Your Lawn
l Check Your Lawn Tractor
l Are YOU Ready to Mow?
These are described in the following sections.
CHECK YOUR LAWN
For your safety and the safety of others, always inspect the area
before mowing.
Objects
Anything which can be picked up by the blade and thrown is a
potential hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks,
bones, nails, and wire, and remove them from the mowing area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the mowing area can move into your
mowing path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown
objects. Clear the area of people, especially children and pets. Their
safety is your responsibility.
Lawn
Check the length and condition of the grass. Adjust your mowing
speed and cutting height accordingly.
Avoid mowing wet grass. Not only does mowing wet grass result in
poor cut quality, it also affords poor traction, increasing the risk of
loss of control of your lawn tractor.
