IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Never operate mower in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing; walk, never run.
• Disengage the drive system, if so equipped, before starting the motor.
• If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check for the
cause immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• Always wear eye protection when operating machine.
• See manufacturer's instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories.
Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.

2. 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.
• Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip
and fall accident.
3. 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.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible
adult.
• Stay alert, and turn the mower off if a child or any other person enters the mowing
area.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other
objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of the mower.
4. SERVICE
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to be sure that the equipment is in safe
working condition.
• Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
Never do anything to interfere with the intended function of a safety device or to reduce the
protection provided by a safety device.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build up. Allow machine to cool before
storing.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the motor. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any
damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the motor running.
