Husqvarna - 7
• NEVER allow children to operate the machine.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people before
mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never carry passengers or children even with the
blades off.
• Do not drive in reverse unless absolutely
necessary. Always look down and behind before
and while backing.
• Never carry children. They may fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with safe machine
operation.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under
the watchful care of another responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the
area.
• Before and when backing, look behind and down
for small children.
• Mow up and down slopes (10° Max), not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Use a slow speed while on slope or hill.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
• If machine stops while going uphill, disengage
blades, shift into reverse and back down slowly.
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
