◾
Before cleaning the machine, unclogging the chute or removing or replacing the grass bag, mulching insert, or side
discharge chute, turn the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop, then remove the battery
pack. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never place any part of the
body in the blade area until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating.
◾
Never operate the mower without the proper trailing shield, discharge cover, grass bag, mulching insert, side
discharge chute, motor/blade control handle or other safety protective devices in place and working. Never operate
the mower with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.

OPERATION ON A SLOPE:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires
extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge on page 22 to measure
slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, 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 can 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, as shown on the slope gauge.
◾
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
