Safe mowing practices
For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground and be careful to avoid losing your footing and
your control of the mower. Keep a firm grip on the handlebar and walk, never run, with the mower.
Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground. If stuck, do not kick or shove the mower
with your foot. Use the handlebar to control the mower.
The blades are sharp and spin at a high speed. Spinning blades can cut you severely and can
amputate fingers and toes.
●
Wear protective footwear.
●
Keep your hands and feet away from the mower deck while the engine is running.
●
Stop the engine before performing any adjustments, inspection, or maintenance.
Slopes
Mow across slopes, not up and down.
Avoid steep slopes (steeper than 15 degrees ), and be careful when changing direction.
Mowing on a slope when the grass is damp or wet could cause you to slip, fall,
and lose control of the mower.
