BEFORE MOWING
Check Your Lawn For your safety and for the safety of others, always inspect the
area before mowing.
Objects
Anything which can be picked up by the blades and thrown is a
potential hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones,
sticks, bones, and wire. Remove them from the mowing area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the mowing area can move into your
path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown
objects. Clear the area of people and pets, especially children.
Their safety is your responsibility.
Lawn
Check the length and condition of the grass, so you will know
what cutting height and mowing speed to use.
Avoid mowing wet grass. Not only will wet grass clog your mower
deck and collect in clumps on the lawn, it also gives poor traction,
increasing your risk of losing your footing.
