never
up and down.
Exercise
extreme
caution
when
changing
direction
on slopes.

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.
IlL CHILDREN
Tragic accidents
can occur if the operator

blind
corners,
shrubs,
trees, or other objects
that may obscure
vision.
