It will help you assemble, and operate the unit for best performance. [. . . ] Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid engagement or braking could cause the front of the machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards which could cause serious injury. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly off of the slope. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and gradually uphill, if possible. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes. Do not tow heavy pull behind attachments (e. g. loaded dump cart, lawn roller, etc. ) on slopes greater than 5 degrees. When going down hill, the extra weight tends to push the machine and may cause you to lose control. tractor may speed up, braking and steering ability are reduced, attachment may jack-knife and cause machine to overturn). 3. 4. 2. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate the machine. Children 14 years old and over should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised by a parent. Towing 1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop. 5. 2. 2. Service Safe Handling Of Gasoline 1.
