Re Slope Operation You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this unit on too steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or where you don't have adequate footing or traction can cause you to lose control or slip and fall. You should not operate on inclines with a slope greater than 10 degrees, which is a 3.5 ft (1,5 m) rise over 20.0 ft (6,0 m). Always mow across slopes, never up and down. Also note that the surface you are mowing can greatly impact control. Wet grass or leaves can seriously affect your footing and traction on a slope. If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don't do it. It's not worth the risk. 20.0 ft (6,0 m) 3.5 ft (1,5 m) 4 www.snapper.com

Operator Safety
Operating Safety
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or
not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are
responsible for your safety and that of those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are
not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done
with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your
local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to
be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and
controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the
most out of your equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on the
following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them any-
where near the area of operation. Children are often attracted to the
unit and mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them. If there is a risk that children may enter
the area where you are mowing, have another responsible adult
watch them.
Slope Operation
You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this unit on
too steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or
where you don’t have adequate footing or traction can cause you to
lose control or slip and fall.
You should not operate on inclines with a slope greater than 10
degrees, which is a 3.5 ft (1,5 m) rise over 20.0 ft (6,0 m). Always
mow across slopes, never up and down.
Also note that the surface you are mowing can greatly impact con-
trol. Wet grass or leaves can seriously affect your footing and trac-
tion on a slope.
If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don’t do it.
It’s not worth the risk.
