Slope Operation
Slopes are major factors involved in slip and fall accidents. Such accidents can cause severe personal injury. Operating this mower on
any inclined surface requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Mow across the face of a sloped surface; never mow up and down a slope. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
a slope.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. These may cause an unexpected slip or fall.
Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the mower and the
mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
Stay alert and stop the reel mower if a child enters the area.
Never allow children access to the machine.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.
