Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information
you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as
well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s
features and controls, and maintenance information is
included to help you get the most out of your equipment
investment.
Be sure to completely read the General Safety Precaution
section, found in this manual. Also completely read the Start
Up and Operating section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them
anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often
attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a
risk that children may enter the area where you are mowing,
have another responsible adult watch them.
Slope Operation
Operation on slopes can be dangerous. Using the unit on a
slope that is too steep where you do not have adequate wheel
traction (and control) can cause sliding, loss of
steering, control, and possible rollover. You should not
operate on a slope greater than a 5.4 foot rise over a 20 foot
length (15 degrees).
Always mow across slopes, not up and down (to maintain
traction on the wheels) and avoid sudden turns or rapid speed
changes. Reduce speed and use extreme caution on ALL
slopes.
Also, note that the surface condition you are on can greatly
impact your ability to safely operate this machine. Operating on
wet or slippery slopes can cause sliding and loss of
steering and control. Do not operate on slopes that are
slippery, wet, or have soft soil conditions.
If you feel unsure about operating the unit on a slope, don’t do
it. It’s not worth the risk.
