10
starting.
2. Do not put hands or feet near or under the
machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening
at all times.
3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar
with the instructions, to operate this machine.
4. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, wire,
toys, etc., which could be thrown by the blade.
Stay behind the handle when the motor is

5. Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before
operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the
area.

wearing sandals. Always wear substantial
footwear.
7. Do not pull machine backward unless
absolutely necessary. Always look down and
behind before and while moving backward.
8. Never direct discharged material toward
anyone. Avoid discharging material against
a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet
back toward the operator. Stop the blade when

removing grass catcher, or unclogging the

12. Operate machine only in daylight or good
artificial light.
13. Do not operate machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
14. Never operate mower in wet grass. Always be
sure of your footing; walk; never run.
15. Disengage the drive system, if so equipped,
before starting the motor.
16. If the machine should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the motor and check for the
cause immediately. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
17. Always wear eye protection when operating
machine.
18. See manufacturer's instructions for proper
operation and installation of accessories. Only
use accessories approved by the manufacturer.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause
a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
3. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident.
4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. You could lose your footing or
balance.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.
Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and
under the watchful care of a responsible adult
other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the
area.
3. Never allow children to operate the machine.
4. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block
your view of a child.
IV. SERVICE
GENERAL SERVICE
1. Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
2. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
3. Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other
debris build-up.
