_ ARNING: Plan your mowing

pattern to avoid discharge of

materials toward roads, side°

walks, bystanders and the like.

Also, avoid discharging material

against a wall or obstruction

which may cause discharged

material to ricochet back toward

the operator.

• Do not mowat highgroundspeed,especiallyif a
