Think Safety First
Please read all safety instructions and symbols in the
safety section. Knowing this information could help you
or bystanders avoid injury.
Danger
Mowing on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or
drowning.
A rollbar is available and its use is recommended
for areas where there are slopes, drop–offs or
water.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of rollover:
• Do not mow near drop–offs or near water.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
