ARE YOU READY TO MOW?
Be sure to wear protective clothing. Long pantsand eye protection
can lower your risk of injuryfrom thrown objects. Wear footwear that
protects your feet and won’t let you slipif you mow on slopes or
uneven ground.
CHECK YOUR LAWN
For your safety and forthe safety of others, always inspect the area
before mowing.
Objects
Anything which can be picked up bythe blade and thrown is a
potential hazard to you and others. Look forthings like stones, sticks,
bones, and wire. Remove themfrom the mowing area.
People and Pets
People and animals near the mowing area can moveinto your path or
into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects. Clear
the area of people and pets, especially children. Their safetyis your
responsibility.
Lawn
Check the length and condition of the grass, so youwill 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 thelawn, it also gives poor traction,
increasing your risk of losing yourfooting.
