Operation
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Think Safety First
Carefully read all safety instructions and symbols in
the safety section. Knowing this information could
help you or bystanders avoid injury.
DANGER
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can
cause sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause
rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death, or drowning.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of
rollover:
•
Do not operate near dropoffs or near water.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
•
Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed
changes.
