not touch the underside of the mower until the cutter has come to a complete standstill!
Operating the lawnmower
Operation on a slope:
Slopes increase the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, 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 could 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 you to slip.
Mower overload protection
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to cut too much grass at one time. Slow down your
cutting pace or raise the cut height. Your mower has built-in overload circuit protection. When
