Lawn Equipment
- Wear appropriate clothing: regular shoes (NO SANDALS) and full-length trousers. Use of eye and hearing protection is recommended.
- Operate grass-cutting equipment in dry conditions only.
- Make sure blades are sharp, balanced, and not worn.
- Before starting the mower clear the mowing area: pick up any rocks, sticks, toys, etc.
*Objects left in the mowing path may be picked up and shot through the air by the machine causing bodily injury and also damage to the machine. - Leave safety features intact. Removing them is dangerous and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Never leave the operator’s position without stopping the engine first.
- Avoid putting hands, feet, etc close to the blade path when the engine is running; keep in mind that the blade will take a few seconds to stop rotating after the engine is switched off.
- When refueling: use clean, fresh, stabilized fuel. Do not smoke. Do not refuel indoors, or when the engine is hot. Clean up any spilled fuel before starting.
- Always make sure proper viscosity oil is used in your engine: SAE 30 for walk-behind mowers and 10W30 for most riding mowers.
- When mowing on slope, mow across with walk mowers, and up and down with riding mowers.
- Electric mowers: It is important to use a proper extension cord. Ensure that all electrical components are in good condition to avoid electrical shock.
- Always consult your owner’s manual for further instructions on proper use of your lawn and garden equipment.
