Slope Operation
Slopes are major factors involved in slip and fall accidents.
Such accidents can cause severe personal injury. Operating
this mower on any inclined surface requires extra caution. If
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
• Mow across the face of a sloped surface; never mow
up and down a slope. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
objects. These may cause an unexpected slip or fall.
• Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
• Do not mow near drop-os, ditches, or embankments.
You could lose your footing or balance.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the mower
and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will
remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Stay alert and stop the reel mower if a child enters the
area.
• Never allow children access to the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.
Service
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Regularly check to
ensure these devices are in place and in proper working
order.
• Keep the reel mower free from grass, leaves, or other
debris buildup.
• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the reel
mower. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
• The mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blades or wear
gloves when handling.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as
needed.
