before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters _rea_"

• Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolute-

ly necessary. Always look down and

behind before and while backing.

tion and do not point it at anyone. Do

not operate the mower without either

dations for wheel weights or counter-

-weights to improve stability.

traction could cause sliding.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by

puffing your foot on the ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.
