3

•  Never operate machine in wet grass. Always be sure 

of your footing: keep a firm hold on the handle; walk, 

never run.

•  Disengage the drive system, if so equipped, before 

starting the engine (motor).

•  If the equipment should start to vi brate abnormally, 

stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for 

the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

•  Always wear eye protection when op er at ing machine.
•  Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, 

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

•  When loading or unloading this machine, do not exceed 

the maximum recommended operation angle of 15°.

•  Wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 

while operating this machine, including (at a minimum) 

sturdy footwear, eye protection, and hearing protection.  

Do not mow in shorts or open toed footwear.

Always let someone know you are outside mowing.

III. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip & fall accidents, 

which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra 

caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.

DO:

•  Mow across the face of slopes: nev er up and down. 

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on 

slopes.

•  Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
•  Watch for holes, ruts, bumps or hidden objects.  Un-

even terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. 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 on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. 

Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.

IV. SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme 

care in handling gasoline.  Gasoline is extremely flammable 

and the vapors are explosive.
•  Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other 

sources of ignition.

•  Use only an approved container.
•  Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine 

running.

•  Allow engine to cool before refueling.

•  Never refuel the machine indoors.
•  Never store the machine or fuel container where there 

is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as a water 

heater or on other appliances.

•  Never fill containers inside a vehicle, on a truck or trailer 

bed with a plastic liner.  Always place containers on 

the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

•  Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or 

trailer and refuel it on the ground.  If this is not possible, 

then refuel such equipment with a portable container, 

rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

•  Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel 

tank or container opening at all times until fueling is 

complete.  Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

•  If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-

ately.

•  Never overfill fuel tank.  Replace gas cap and tighten 

securely.

V. GENERAL SERVICE

com po nents and replace with man u fac tur er’s recom-

mended parts, when necessary.

or wear gloves, and use extra caution when ser vic ing 

them.
