SAFETY SIGNS
It is essential all safety labels are kept legible, if

applied, drives are in neutral, guards are in position
and intact, and bystanders are clear of the machine.
Do not run the engine in a building without adequate
ventilation.

parts are in good working order, paying particular
attention to brakes, tyres, steering and the security
of cutting blades. Replace faulty silencers, mow
only in daylight or good artificial light
Always observe the Highway Code both on and off
the roads. Keep alert and aware at all times. Watch
out for traffic when crossing or near roadways. Stop
the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other
than grass.
Remember that some people are deaf or blind and
that children and animals can be unpredictable.
Keep travelling speeds low enough for an
emergency stop to be effective and safe at all times,
in any conditions.
Remove or avoid obstructions in the area to be cut,
thus reducing the possibility of injury to yourself and/

When reversing, take special care to ensure that the
area behind is clear of obstructions and/or
bystanders. DO NOT carry passengers.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or
hazards occurring to other

When the machine is to be parked, stored or left
