STARTING THE ENGINE
See engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. For
Trailmowers® that require a battery (sold separately), Swisher recommends using a standard
“U 1 R” lawn & garden battery.
The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the
eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-
vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting any cutting machine and while
operating such a machine.
The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the
human ear. Ear protection is recommended.
CAUTION!
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.
