SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WALK-BEHIND MOWERS

I. GENERAL OPERATION

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual (s)

 

before starting.

2. Do not put hands or feet near or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge

 

opening at all times.

3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate this

 

machine.

4. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, wire, toys, etc., which could be thrown by

 

the blade. 

Stay behind the handle when the motor is running.

5. Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating. Stop machine if anyone

 

enters the area.

6. Do not operate machine barefooted or while wearing sandals. Always wear

 

substantial footwear.

7. Do not pull machine backward unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and

 

behind before

and while moving backward.

8. Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade

 

when crossing gravel surfaces.

9. Do not operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, rearguard, or other safety

protective devices in place and working.

10. Never leave a running machine unattended.

11. Stop the motor, remove the safety key and wait until the blade comes to a complete

 

stop before 

cleaning the machine, removing grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge

 

guard.

12. Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

13. Do not operate machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

14. Never operate mower in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing; walk; never run.

15. Disengage the drive system, if so equipped, before starting the motor.

16. If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and

 

check for the cause

immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

17. Always wear eye protection when operating machine.

18. See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories.

Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents, which can result in severe

 

injury. 

Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing 

direction on slopes.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and

fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.
