!!. SLOPE
OPERATION
Slopes
are a major factor
related to toss of
control and tip-over
accidents,
which can
result in severe injury or death.
Opera-
tion on all slopes
requires
extra caution,
if
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel
uneasy
on it, do not mow it.
•
Mow up and down slopes,
not across.
-
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps,
rocks, or
other hidden objects.
Uneven terrain
could overturn
the machine.
Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
,
Choose
a low ground speed so that
you will not have to stop or shift while
on the slope.
•
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may
lose traction.
Always
keep the machine
in gear when
going down slopes.
Do not shift to
neutral and coast downhill.
,
Avoid starting,
stopping,
or turning
on
a slope.
If the tires lose traction,
dis-
engage
the blades
and proceed
slowly
straight
down the slope.
,
Keep all movement
on the slopes slow
and gradual.
Do not make sudden
changes
in speed or direction,
which
could cause the machine
to roll over.
•
Use extra care while operating
ma-
chine with grass catchers
or other at-
tachments;
they can affect the stability
of the machine.
Do no use on steep
slopes.
,
Do not try to stabilize
the machine
by
putting your foot on the ground.
,
Do not mow near drop-offs,
ditches,
or embankments.
The machine
could
suddenly
roll over if a wheel
is over the
edge or if the edge caves in.
!11. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents
can occur
if the operator
is not alert
to the presence
of children.
Children
are often attracted
to the machine
and the mowing
activity.
Never
assume
that
children
will
remain
where
you
last
saw them.
o
Keep children
out of the mowing
area
and in the watchful
care of a respon-
sible adult other than the operator.
•
Be alert and turn machine
off if a child
enters the area.
°
Before and while backing,
look behind
and down for small children.
,
Never carry' children,
even with the
blades shut off. They may fall off and
be seriously
injured or interfere
with
safe machine
operation.
Children
who
have been given rides in the past may
suddenly
appear
in the mowing
area
for another
ride and be run over or
backed over by the machine.
o
Never allow children
to operate
the
machine.
o
Use extra care when approaching
blind
corners,
shrubs,
trees, or other objects
that may block your view of a cMd.
IV. TOWING
,
Tow only with a machine
that has a
hitch designed
for towing.
Do not at-
tach towed equipment
except
at the
hitch point.
°
Followthe
manufacturer's
recom-
mendation
for weight limits for towed
equipment
and towing
on slopes.
,
Never allow children
or others in or on
towed equipment.
°
On slopes, the weight of the towed
equipment
may cause loss of traction
and loss of control.
,
Travel slowly and allow extra distance
to stop.
V. SERVICE
SAFE HANDLING
OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal
injury or property
damage,
use extreme
care in handling
gasoline.
Gasoline

or fuel con-
tainer where
there is an open flame,
spark, or pilot light such as on a water
heater
or other appliances.
