stop the motor and check for the cause
immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
17. Always wear eye protection when operating
machine.
18. See manufacturer’s instructions for proper
operation and installation of accessories. Only
use accessories approved by the manufacturer.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents, which can result in severe
injury. Operation on all slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause
a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident.
4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. You could lose your footing or
balance.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.
Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under
the watchful care of a responsible adult other
than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the
area.
3. Never allow children to operate the machine.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block
your view of a child.
IV. SERVICE
GENERAL SERVICE
1. Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
3. Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other
debris build-up.
4. If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect
the machine. Repair, if necessary, before starting.
5. Never make any adjustments or repairs with the
motor running.
6. Always unplug electric mowers before adjusting,
cleaning, or repairing.
7. Check grass catcher components and the
discharge guard frequently and replace with
manufacturer’s recommended parts, when
necessary.
8. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing
them.
9. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,
as necessary.
