rotating parts. Keep clear of the
discharge
opening at all times.
• Only allow responsible
individuals,
who are familiar
with the instructions, to
operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as
rocks, toys, wire, bones, sticks, etc.,
which could be picked up and thrown
by the blade.

people before mowing. Stop machine
if
anyone enters the area.

barefoot or wearing open sandals.
Always wear substantial
foot wear.

unless
absolutely
necessary.
Always look
down and behind before and while
moving backwards.

proper guards, plates, grass catcher or
other safety protective devices in place.
• See manufacturer's
instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories.
DO NOT use accessories
that are not recommended
by the
manufacturer
of your mower, such as
de-thatcher
blade attachments,
which
can be hazardous and damage
the
mower.
• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel
drives, walks, or roads.
• Stop the engine (motor) whenever
you
leave the equipment,
before cleaning
the mower or unclogging the chute.

stop
before removing grass catcher.

the self-propelled
mecha-
nism or drive clutch on mowers so
equipped
before
starting the engine
(motor).
• If the equipment
should start to vibrate
abnormally,
stop the engine (motor)
and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
• Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields when operat-
ing mower.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes
are a major factor
related to slip
and fall accidents
which can result in
severe
injury. All slopes require
extra
caution.
If you feel uneasy on a slope, do
not mow it.
DO:
• Mow across the face of slopes: never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments.
The operator could lose
footing
or balance.
• Do not trim excessively steep slopes.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced
footing
could cause slipping.
II1. 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 trimming
area
and under the watchful
care of another
responsible
adult.
• Be alert and turn machine
off if children
enter the area.
• Before
and while walking
backwards,
look behind and down for small
children.
• Never allow children
to operate
the
machine.
• Use extra care when approaching
blind
corners,
shrubs,
trees, or other objects
that may obscure
vision.
