II. SLOPE
OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip
and fall accidents which can result in
severe injury. All slopes require extra cau-
tion. 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
foot-
ing could cause slipping.
IlL 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.

off if children
enter the area.

chine.
