MOWING
Safe Mowing Practices For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be
careful to avoid losing your footing and your control of the mower.
Keep a firm grip on the handlebar, and walk, never run, with the
mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.
If stuck, do not kick or shove the mower with your foot. Use the
handlebar to control the mower.
The blade is sharp and spins 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.
l Stop the engine before performing any adjustment,
inspection, or maintenance.
l Never tilt the mower while the engine is running.
l Be careful to avoid losing your balance and slipping.
Slopes
Mow across slopes, not up and
down. Avoid steep slopes (more
than 209, and be careful when
changing direction. Mowing on
a slope when the grass is damp
or wet could cause you to slip,
fall, and lose control of the
mower.
MAXIMUM SLOPE: 20”
