Safety instructions for walk-behind mowers

IMPORTANT

Safe Practices for Walk-Behind Mowers
I. GENERAL OPERATION 

1.   Read, understand, and follow all 

instructions on the machine and in the 
manual(s) before starting.   

2.   Do not put hands or feet near or under 

the machine.  Keep clear of the discharge 
opening at all times.   

3.   Only allow responsible adults, who are 

familiar with the instructions, to operate 
this machine.   

4.   Clear the area of objects such as rocks, 

wire, toys, etc., which could be thrown by 
the blade. Stay behind the handle when 
the motor is running.   

5.   Be sure the area is clear of bystanders 

before operating.  Stop machine if anyone 
enters the area.   

6.   Do not operate machine barefooted or 

while wearing sandals.  Always wear 
substantial footwear.

7.   Do not pull machine backward unless 

absolutely necessary.  Always look down and 
behind before and while moving backward.   

8.   Never direct discharged material toward 

anyone. Avoid discharging material 
against a wall or obstruction. Material may 

ricochet back toward the operator. Stop 
the blade when crossing gravel surfaces.   

9.   Do not operate machine without the 

entire grass catcher, discharge guard, rear 
guard, or other safety protective devices 
in place and working.   

10.   Never leave a running machine unattended.   
11.   Stop the motor and wait until the blade 

comes to a complete stop before cleaning 
the machine, removing grass catcher, or 
unclogging the discharge guard.   

12.   Operate machine only in daylight or good 

artificial light.

13.   Do not operate machine while under the 

influence of alcohol or drugs.  

14.   Never operate mower in wet grass.  Always 

be sure of your footing; walk; never run.   

15.   Disengage the drive system, if so 

equipped, before starting the motor.  

16.   If the machine should start to vibrate 

abnormally, 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.
