whenever the mower has to be tilted, trans-
ported over areas other than lawns, or moved

vided by the length of the long handles) is
maintained between the user and the mower
housing.

alongside or near a road. Always keep the
grass chute pointed away from the street.

have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in
any other way. Before you move backwards,
make sure there are no little children behind
you.
32. When mowing thick high grass, select the
highest cutting level and mow at a slower
speed.

ne, exhaust and the area around the fuel tank
free from grass, leaves and leaking grease
