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.

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing 
them.

as necessary.
