MOWING TIPS
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones,
sticks, wires, and other objects that
could damage the lawn mower blades or
motor. Do not mow over property stakes
or other metal posts. Such objects could
be accidentally thrown by the mower in
any direction and cause serious personal
injury to the operator and others.
■ For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-
third or less of the total length of the
grass.
■ Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the
underside of the deck and prevent proper
bagging or mulching of grass clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a
narrower cut or a higher cutting height.
■ Clean the underside of the mower deck
after each use to remove grass clippings,
leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated
debris.
■ When cutting long grass, reduce walking
speed to allow for more effective cutting
and a proper discharge of the clippings.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blades to
English (original instructions)
completely stop, and remove the switch key
before cleaning underneath the mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip
and fall accidents that can result in severe
injury. Operation on slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do
not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt
to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
Please keep self-propelled at low speed
when mowing up to a slope.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
■ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden
objects, or bumps which can cause
you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as
rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be
tripped over or thrown by the blade.
■ Always be sure of your footing. A slip and
fall can cause serious personal injury. If
you feel you are losing your balance,
release the power lever immediately.
■ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches,
or embankments; you could lose your
footing or balance.
EMPTYING THE GRASSBOX

■ Stop mower, allow blade to completely
stop, and remove switch key.
■ Lift the rear door.
■ Lift the grassbox by its handle to remove
from mower.
■ Empty grass clippings.
■ Lift the rear door and reinstall the
grassbox as described earlier in this
manual.
