WARNING

SAFETY

MANEUVERING SAFELY

In general

-

Slow down before turning.

-

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary.  Always look behind and down for
small children and pets before and during
backing.

-

Be aware when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, tall grass or other objects that may
obscure vision.

-

If tires lose traction, disengage the blades.  If on
a slope, head down.

Mowing slopes

Slopes are a major factor in loss-
of-control and tipover accidents
that sometimes lead to severe
injury or death.  All slopes require
extra caution.

-

Do not mow on slopes if uneasy or uncertain.
Ultimate responsibility for safe operation on
slopes rests with the operator.

-

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

-

On zero turn machines, mow across slopes, not
up and down.

-

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope.  If tires
lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.

-

With a zero turn machine, if tires lose traction
going down a slope, steering control may be
regained by speeding up.

-

Mid-mount zero turns (belly mounted deck)
have much greater traction pointed up slope
than down slope.  Be aware that traction may be
lost going down a slope.  Do not operate a mid-
mount zero turn on slopes it cannot back up.

-

Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual.  Do not make sudden changes in speed
or direction.

-

Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and
then turn slowly and downhill when possible.

-

Stay away from slopes if the ground is loose or if
caught in the rain during mowing.

-

Use lower speeds on a slope to avoid stopping
or shifting.

-

Use extra care with grass catchers or other
attachments.  These can change the stability of
the machine.

-

Remove obstacles such as rocks, treelimbs etc.

-

Avoid driving over obstacles such as ruts, holes,
rocks and roots whenever possible.  Be alert to
dips and rises.  Uneven terrain can overturn a
mower or cause it to slide.  Tall grasses can hide
obstacles.

-

Do not mow dropoffs, ditches or embankments.
The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel
runs over the edge or an edge caves in.

-

Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for
wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.

-

Do not mow slopes when grass is wet.  Reduced
traction could cause sliding.
