III. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip & fall accidents,
which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
* Mow across the face of slopes: never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps or hidden objects. Un-
even terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOR
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
You could lose your footing or balance.
Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
IV. SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremelyflammable
and the vapors are explosive.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
• Use only an approved container.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running.
• Allow engine to cool before refueling.

e
Never refuel the machine indoors.
Never store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as a water
heater or on other appliances.
Never fill containers inside avehicle, on atruck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on
the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until fueling is
complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-
ately.
Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
