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.
Slopes
Mow across slopes, not up
and down. Avoid steep
slopes (more than 20
°), 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.
WARNING
The blade is sharp and spins at high speed.
A spinning blade can cut you severely and
can amputate fingers and toes.
• Wear protective footwear.
• 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.
