I!. SLOPE
OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of
control
and tip-over
accidents,
which
can
result in severe
injury or death.
Operation
on all slopes requires
extra caution.
If you
cannot back upthe slope or if you feet 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.
D o not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose
traction,
Always
keep the machine
in gear when
going down slopes. Do not shiftto neutral
and coast downhill.
Avoid starting, stopping,
or turning on a
slope, Ifthetires
Iosetraction,
disengage
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
machine
w_th grass catchers or other attachments;
they can affect the stability
of the ma-
chine. 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

II!, CHILDREN
A(_WARNING:
CHILDREN CAN BE INJURED
BY THIS EQUIPMENT The American
Acade-
my of Pediatncs
recommends
that children
be a minimum of 12 year of age before op-
erating
a pedestrian controlled
fawn mower
and a minimum
of 16 years of age before
operating
a riding lawn mower.
Tragic accidents
can occur if the operator
is not alert
to the presence
of children.
Children
are often attracted
to the machine
and the mowtng
activity.
Never assume
that children
wiil remain
where
you
last
saw them.
4
Keep children
out of the mowing area
and in the watchful care of a responstble
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.
Never allow children
to operate the ma-
chine.
Use extra care when approaching
blind
corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may block your view of a child.

tion for wetght limits for towed equipment
and towing on slopes.

towed equipment.
On slopes, the weight of the towed equip-
ment may cause loss of traction and loss
of control.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to
stop.
