Important Operator Safety Instructions

WARNING:

This powerful cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and can throw objects

that can cause injury and damage! Failure to comply with the following SAFETY instructions could result in
serious injury or death to the operator or other persons. The owner of the machine must understand these
instructions and must allow only persons who understand these instructions to operate machine. Each
person operating the machine must be of sound mind and body and must not be under the influence of any
substance, which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. If you have any questions pertaining to your
machine which your dealer cannot answer to your satisfaction, call the Customer Service Department.
Phone: (1-800-743-4115).

Protection for 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. DO NOT allow children in yard when machine is operated
and turn machine OFF if anyone enters the area.
3. DO NOT allow pre-teenage children to operate machine.
4. ALLOW only responsible adults & teenagers with mature
judgment under close adult supervision to operate machine.
5. DO NOT pull mower backwards unless absolutely
necessary. LOOK and SEE behind and down for children,
pets and hazards before and while backing.
6. USE EXTRA CARE when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Slope Operation

1. Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall acci-
dents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes require
extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, DO NOT mow
it.
2. Mow across slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise
extreme CAUTION when changing directions on slopes. DO
NOT mow steep slopes or other areas where stability or
traction is in doubt.  Refer to the Slope Guide at the end of
this manual.
3. Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments;
these affect the handling and the stability of the machine.

Preparation

1. Read, understand, and follow instructions and warnings
in this manual and on the mower, engine and attachments.
Know the controls and the proper use of the mower before
starting.
2. Only mature, responsible persons shall operate the
machine and only after proper instruction.
3. Data indicates that operators age 60 and above, are
involved in a large percentage of mower-related injuries.
These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the
mower safely enough to protect themselves and others
from serious injury.

Preparation
(Continued From Previous Column)

4. Handle fuel with extra care. Fuels are flammable and
vapors are explosive. Use only an approved fuel container.
DO NOT remove fuel cap or add fuel with engine running.
Add fuel outdoors only with engine stopped and cool. Clean
spilled fuel and oil from machine. DO NOT smoke. 
5. Check the area to be mowed and remove all objects such
as toys, wire, rocks, limbs and other objects that could
cause injury if thrown by blade or interfere with mowing.
Also note the location of holes, stumps, and other possible
hazards.
6. Keep people and pets out of the mowing area.
Immediately, STOP Blade, Stop engine and Stop mower if
anyone enters the area.
7. Check shields, deflectors, switches, blade controls and
other safety devices frequently for proper operation and
location.
8. Make sure all safety decals are clearly legible. Replace if
damaged.
9. Protect yourself when mowing and wear safety glasses, a
dust mask, long pants, and substantial footwear.  DO NOT
mow barefooted or with sandals.
10. Know how to STOP blade and engine quickly in
preparation for emergencies.
11. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
12. Check grass catcher components frequently for signs of
wear or deterioration and replace as needed to prevent
injury from thrown objects going through weak or torn
spots.

Safe Handling of Gasoline

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive.
1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition.
2. Use only an approved fuel container.
3. DO NOT remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
4. DO NOT refuel the machine indoors.
5. DO NOT store the machine or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on a
water heater or other appliances.
