Lawn Mowers
Safety Checklist
Use a safety checklist to help with safety on the mower:
- Make sure all protective guards are in place. Never remove guards.
- Determine that steering is responsive prior to beginning a job.
- Test the brakes.
- Clean the steps and operating platform to prevent slipping.
- Ensure that tires are properly inflated.
- Check mower hardware for correct tightness of bolts.
- Ensure a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign is installed and visible.
- Ensure flashing warning lights are present and operating when traveling on roadways.
Once installed, never remove guards, lights, or signs. Ignoring these simple items can cause accidents.
