people before mowing. Stop machine

if anyone enters the area.

lutely necessary. Always look down

and behind before and while backing.

direction and do not pointit at anyone.

Do not operate the mower without

either the entire grass catcher or the

guard in place.

years and above, are involved in a

large percentage of riding mower-

related injuries. These operators

should evaluate their ability to operate

the riding mower safely enough to

protect themselves and others from

serious injury.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-

of-control and tipover accidents, which

can result in severe injuryor death. All

slopes require extra caution. If you

cannot back up the slope or if you feel

uneasy on it, do not mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, notacross.

•Remove obstacles such as rocks,tree

limbs, etc.

machine. Tall grass can hide ob-

stacles.

so that you will not have to stopor shift

while on the slope.

•Follow the manufacturer's recommen-

dationsfor wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

•Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stabilityof the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.
