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. Never mow while walking backwards.
If stuck, do not kick or shove the mower with your foot. Use the handlebar to
control mower.
The blades are sharp and spin 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 cutter housing while the engine
is running.
Stop the engine before performing any adjustment, inspection or
maintenance.
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.
