•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
•
Never carry passengers or children even with the blades
off.
•
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Al-
ways look down and behind before and while backing.
•
Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
•
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
•
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
•
Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
•
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
•
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope.
•
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down
the slope.
•
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades, shift
into reverse and back down slowly.
•
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill in
neutral, you may lose control of the tractor.
CAUTION: Tow only the attachments that
are recommended by and comply with
specifications of the manufacturer of your
tractor. Use common sense when towing.
Operate only at the lowest possible speed
when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while
on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose
traction with the ground and cause you to
lose control of your tractor.
