Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of
material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders, and the
like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction, which may cause the material to ricochet
back toward the operator.
■
Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your
view.
■ Objects struck by the mower blade can cause severe
injuries to persons. The lawn should always be
carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to
each mowing.
■ Stop the engine, and wait until the blade comes to a
complete stop before removing the grass catcher or
unclogging the discharge chute. The cutting blade
continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine
is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the
blade area until you are sure the blade has stopped
rotating.

wire.

■
If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble. Check the condition of the blade,
as an unevenly worn or damaged blade can cause
abnormal vibration. Unevenly worn or damaged
blades should be replaced immediately to avoid the
risk of serious injury.
MAINTENANCE
■

■ To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, muffler,
and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, and
excessive grease.
■ Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
■ Keep machine in good working condition. Keep blades
sharp and guards in place and in working order.
■ Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
