1. Travel in the manufacturer recommended direction on slopes. Use caution while
operating near drop-offs.
2. Do not operate the machine under any condition where traction, steering, or
stability is in question. Tires could slide even if the wheels are stopped.
3. Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or
direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
4. Use extra care while operating the machine with a grass catcher or other
attachment(s). They can affect the stability of the machine.
To prevent overturning:
1. Always mow either up or down, never mow across slopes.
2. Never stop or start suddenly on slopes.
3. Engage the drive gently and always keep the drive gear engaged, especially on
downward slopes.
4. Speed must be reduced on slopes and sharp bends.
5. Never move down slopes with the gear shift in neutral “N”, engage a lower gear.
6. Be careful of mounds, bumps, and hidden hazards.
The driver should be aware:
1. Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine or cause the operator to lose their balance or footing.
2. Be very careful when changing direction on slopes.
3. Stop the blade when crossing terrain other than lawns and when the lawn mower
is transported to and from the work area.
4. Do not use the lawn mower when faulty guards are without fitted safety devices,
such as, for example, the grass bag.
5. Do not modify the engine adjustments and do not tamper to increase the engine
speed. If the speed of the engine is too high this could cause personal injuries.
6. Disengage the blade and drive control before starting the engine.
7. Hands and feet must be kept away from the blade. Always keep away from the
grass unloading opening.
8. Reduce the throttle during engine run-out. If the engine is provided with a shut-
off valve, cut off the fuel when you have finished mowing.
9. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.
10. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the
machine while in operation.
