SAFE MOWING PRACTICES
For your safety, keep all four wheels on the ground, and be careful to
avoid losing your footing and control of the mower. Keep a firm grip on
the handlebar and walk, never run, with the mower. Be very careful
when mowing uneven or rough ground. If stuck, do not kick or push the
mower with your foot. Use the handlebar only.
Slopes
Mow across slopes, not up and down.
Avoid steep slopes (more than 20°),
and be careful when changing
direction. Mowing on a slope when the
grass is damp or wet could cause you
to slip, fall, and lose control of the
mower.
 WARNING
The blade is sharp and spins at high speed.
A spinning blade can cut you severely and can
amputate fingers and toes.
• Wear protective footwear
• Keep your hands and feet away from the
mower deck while the engine is running.
• Stop the engine before performing any
adjustment, inspection, or maintenance.
