Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents, which can result in severe injury
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution If
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident Tall grass can hide obstacles
Avoid mowing on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes (> 15°) Poor footing could cause a slip and
fall accident
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction,
especially on slopes
Do not mow near drop offs, ditches, or
embankments You could lose your footing or
balance

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children Children are
often attracted to the machine and the mowing
activity Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them
Remove the safety key whenever you leave or
store the machine Store in a secure and locked-
up place – out of reach of children
Keep children out of the mowing area and under
the watchful care of a responsible adult other
than the operator
Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the
area
