– if lawn mower starts to vibrate abnormally (check

immediately).

Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

Maintenance and Storage

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.

Do not use pressure cleaning equipment on machine.

Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank
and inside a building where fumes can reach an open
flame or spark.

Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.

To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and gasoline storage area free
of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

Check grass catcher components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s
recommended parts, when necessary.

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

Replace faulty silencers.

If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this out-doors.

Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at
excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal
injury.

Be careful during adjustment of the lawn mower to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the lawn mower.

To ensure the best performance and safety,

and accessories. Do not use
