Checking Mowing Area

MXAL41932-UN-22MAY13

• Clear mowing area of objects that might be thrown. Keep people and pets out of mowing area.
• Low-hanging branches and similar obstacles can injure the operator or interfere with mowing operation. Before mowing, identify potential obstacles, such as low-hanging branches, and trim or remove those obstacles.
• Study mowing area. Set up a safe mowing pattern. Do not mow where traction or stability is doubtful.
• Test drive area with mower lowered (if equipped) but not running. Slow down when you travel over rough ground.
• Survey all mowing sites to determine which slopes are safe for machine operation and which slopes should be maintained through other maintenance techniques.
