GENERAL OPERATION
Read, understand, and follow all instructions in this manual and on
the mower before starting.
Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions,
to operate the mower.
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., that could
be picked up and thrown by the blade.
Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before mowing. Stop mower
if anyone enters the area.
Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging
against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the
operator. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.
Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or
the deflector in place. This will decrease the possibility of injury
from objects being thrown by the mower blades.
Never carry passengers.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look
down and behind before and while backing.
Never leave a running mower unattended. Always turn off blades,
set park brake, stop engine and remove key before dismounting.
Turn off blades when not mowing. Injury could occur from contact
with moving parts.
Under no circumstances should you place hands or feet under the
mower deck or in the chute while blades or impeller are still
running.
The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
