safety is ensured.
If situations occur that are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. Contact Local

3.3 Mowing Area
Before mowing any area, thoroughly check the area for holes, falling objects, and hidden objects
that may cause danger. Remove objects that can be thrown by the blades, such as stones, toys,
and wires.
Do not operate within 100 feet of people and animals. Do not mow when children or others are
around.
Make a mowing plan to avoid discharging grass clippings toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders,
vehicles, and windows.
Do not mow anything other than grass.
During mowing, do not drive through leaves or other debris that may cause build-up.
Stop the blades when driving across dirt roads, gravel roads, or paved roads.
Use extreme caution when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that can block your view and impede mowing.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not operate the mower in rain, on wet roads, or on wet
grass.
To avoid loss of control and rollover, do not operate the mower near drop-offs or near water, and
reduce the driving speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
3.4 Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover that could result in serious injury
or death. Use extreme caution when operating on slopes. Do not mow the slope if you are not
sure whether it is suitable for operation.
Do not start or stop the mower on slopes.
Do not mow slopes steeper than 15 degrees.
Do not operate the mower when the traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires can slide
