wire, toys, etc., which could be thrown by the

blades.

shrubs, trees or other objects that may

obscure vision.

Dust, smoke, fog, etc. can reduce vision and

cause an accident.

artificial light.

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 feel

uneasy on it, do not mow it.

Mow across slopes, never up and down.

Exercise caution when changing direction

on slopes.
