Safety
Roll Bar Use
Keep the roll bar in position and fasten the seat belt.
Do not jump off if the mower tips (it is safer to be
secured by the seat belt with the roll bar raised.)
NEVER remove the roll bar.
Retaining Walls, Drop-
offs, and Water
Retaining walls and drop-offs around steps and
water are a common hazard. Give yourself a
minimum of two mower widths of clearance
around these hazards and hand-trim with a walk
behind mower or string trimmer. Wheels
dropping over retaining walls, edges, ditches,
embankments, or into water can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death, or
drowning.
Overhead Obstacles
Check for overhead clearances before driving
under any objects. Do not allow the roll bar to
contact low overhanging obstacles such as tree
branches and guide wires.
