II. Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The operator could lose footing or balance.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.
III. 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.
1.Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
2.Be alert and turn mower off if children enter the area.
3.Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
4.Never allow children to operate the mower.
5.Use extra care when approaching blind comers, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

a)Use only an approved container.
b)Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
c)Never refuel the machine indoors.
d)Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater.
2.Never run an engine inside a closed area.
3.Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine (motor) running. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
4.Keep all nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.
5.Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
6.Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to cool before storing.
7.Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an Object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
8.Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while the engine (motor) is running.
9.Always disconnect electric mowers (live operated) before cleaning, repairing, or adjusting.
10.Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.”
11.Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
12.Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine.
