Lawnmowing Procedure
Preparation
Warning:
Check the area to be mowed thoroughly to remove debris from the lawn which may be projected
from the mower. Stones, twigs, wire, and other debris will damage the lawnmower.
Operators must be familiar with the controls before taking control of the lawnmower. Bystanders
and animals should be a safe distance away from the mowing area.
Check that the safety controls operate correctly. Check the drive and cutting system disengages
when releasing the controls.
