over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping.
Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling, release the
handle immediately.

◾
he motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never
attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
safety device inoperative and may result in personal injury
through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade
control handle must operate easily in both directions and
automatically return to the disengaged position when
released.
◾
Avoid dangerous environments – Don’t use lawn mowers in
damp or wet locations.

serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
footing, release the motor/blade control handle immediately
and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
◾
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.

Never operate the mower without the proper trailing
shield, discharge cover, grass bag, mulching insert,

OPERATION ON A SLOPE:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall acci-
dents, which can result in severe injury. Always be sure of
your footing on slopes. Operation on slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Do:
◾
Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
◾
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
Do not:
◾
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you
could lose your footing or balance.
◾
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
◾
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause
slipping.
