Safety Instructions

Transporting the mower

•  Turn the engine off, by moving the throttle lever to the 'STOP' position and switching the 

fuel tap off (where fitted).

•  Disconnect the spark plug lead and wedge it between the cylinder head fins.
•  Do not transport the mower in a vehicle if there is fuel in the fuel tank.

Before using the mower

•  Do not start the mower until you have studied the instruction manuals.  
•  Know the mower controls.  Learn how to stop the engine quickly in an emergency by 

moving the throttle to the 'STOP' position.

•  Before using the mower, ensure that the blade assembly is not worn or damaged.  

Always replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve correct balance.  

Damaged or worn blades and bolts are major hazards.  Use genuine Bushranger spare 

parts only.

• 

Please note blades are tucked under blade disc for safety and transport reasons 

before use. Once the engine is started they will relocate themselves for cutting.

•  Check all fasteners regularly.  Always ensure the mower is in a safe operating condition.
•  Check for grass build up around the engine and muffler which may cause overheating 

and/or a fire hazard.

•  Do not start the engine unless the side chute and bumper bars are securely in position.

Operating the mower

•  Do not mow while people or pets are in the vicinity of the mower or within the mowing 

area.  Ensure that bystanders are a minimum of 15 metres away. 

•  Do not mow in bare feet or open shoes.  Wear long trousers and heavy footwear.
•  Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and debris before mowing.  

These could be thrown by the blades and cause injury or damage.

•  Start the engine carefully with feet well clear of blades.  Do not tilt the mower when 

starting the engine.

•  Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment.
•  Mow only in good daylight.
•  Keep hands and feet away from 

rotating parts

 beneath mower when engine is running.

•  Do not over speed the engine or alter the governor settings. Excessive engine speed is 

dangerous and shortens mower life.
