or drive clutch on units so equipped
before starting the motor.

adjustment while the motor is running.
e) Mow only in daylight or in good artificial
light.
f) Never operate the equipment on wet
grass. Always be sure of your footing.
Keep a firm hold on the handle and walk,
never run.
1.3 Operation
a) Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
b) Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel
drives, walks, or roads.
c) After striking a foreign object, stop the
motor, unplug, thoroughly inspect the
mower for any damage, and repair the
damage before restarting and operating
the mower.
d) If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
e) Stop the motor and unplug whenever you
leave the equipment, before cleaning the
mower housing, and before making any
repairs or inspections.
f) Shut the motor off and wait until the
blade comes to a complete stop before
removing the grass catcher or before
unclogging the chute.
g) Mow across the face of slopes, never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes. Do
not mow excessively steep slopes.
h) Never operate the mower without proper
guards, plates, or other safety protective
devices in place.
i) Do not wash with a hose, avoid getting
water in motor and electrical connections.
1.4 Maintenance
a) Check the blade and the engine mounting
bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness.
b) Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to
be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
c) Check bag frequently for deterioration
and wear, and replace worn bags. Check
that replacement bags comply with the
original manufacturer’s recommendations
or specifications.
d) Replace the blade if it is bent or cracked.
An unbalanced blade causes vibration
that could damage the motor drive unit or
cause personal injury.
e) Sharpen a dull blade equally at each end
to maintain the balance.
f) Clear the blade thoroughly and check its
balance by supporting it horizontally on a
thin nail through its center hole. The nail
should also be in a horizontal position. If
either end of the blade rotates downward,
remove some metal from the heavy or
lower end until the blade is balanced. It is
balanced when neither end drops.
