Safety Guide
Protect yourself and others by following these safety steps:
a) Know your controls. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in an emergency.
b)
NEVER
MOW WITH THE DISCHARGE FLAP OPEN OR BELT GUARD OFF.
c) Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and debris. They could be thrown by the
blade and cause serious injury.
d) Add fuel
BEFORE
starting the engine. Avoid spilling petrol and do not fill the tank while the
engine is running or while you are smoking.
e) Avoid mowing while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
f) Disengage blade and drive clutches before starting.
g) Start the engine carefully with feet well away from the blades.
h) Do not operate the engine in a confined space where carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
i) Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment.
j) Check all nuts, bolts, and screws often. Always be sure that the mower is in a safe
operating condition.
k) Stop the blade before driving the mower across gravel drives, walks or roads.
l) Do not allow children or people unfamiliar with the mower to operate it.
m) On slopes or wet grass, be extra careful of your footing.
n) Avoid cutting grass by pulling the mower towards you; you could pull the mower back on
top of yourself.
o) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before checking or working on the
mower.
