close parental supervision and proper instruc-
tion.

6.

Use extra care when approaching blind cor-
ners, shrubs, trees or other objects that may 
obscure your vision of a child or other hazard.

7.

Remove the key when the machine is left 
unattended to prevent unauthorized opera-
tion.

D. SERVICE

1.

Use extreme care in handling gasoline and 
other fuels.  They are extremely flammable 
and the vapors are explosive.
a.

Use only an approved container.

b.

Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with 
the engine running.  Allow the engine 
to cool at least two minutes before 
refueling.

c.

Replace the fuel cap securely and 
wipe off any spilled fuel before starting 
the engine as it may cause a fire or 
explosion.

d.

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes 
and other sources of ignition.

e.

Never refuel the machine indoors 
because fuel vapors will accumulate in 
the area.

f.

Never store the fuel container or 
machine inside where there is an open 
flame or spark, such as a gas hot 
water heater, space heater or furnace.

2.

Never run a machine inside a closed area.

3.

To reduce fire hazard, keep the machine free 
of grass, leaves or other debris build-up.  
Clean up oil or fuel spillage.  Allow the 
machine to cool at least 5 minutes before stor-
ing.

4.

Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make 
certain the blade and all moving parts have 
stopped.  Disconnect the spark plug wire, and 
keep the wire away from the spark plug to pre-
vent accidental starting.

5.

Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at 
frequent intervals for proper tightness.  Also 
visually inspect blades for damage (e.g., 
excessive wear, bent, cracked).  Replace with 
blades which meet original equipment specifi-
cations.

6.

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

7.

Never tamper with safety devices.  Check 
their proper operation regularly.  Use all 
guards as instructed in this manual.

8.

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, 
remove the wire from the spark plug and thor-
oughly inspect the mower for any damage.  
Repair the damage before restarting and 
operating the machine.

9.

Grass catcher components are subject to 
wear, damage and deterioration, which could 
expose moving parts or allow objects to be 
thrown.  For your safety protection, frequently 
check the components and replace with man-
ufacturers recommended parts when neces-
sary.

10. Mower blades are sharp and can cut.  Wrap 

the blades or wear gloves, and use extra cau-
tion when servicing blades.

11. Check park brake operation frequently.  Adjust 

and service as required.

12. Muffler, engine and belt guards become hot 

during operation and can cause a burn.  Allow 
to cool down before touching.

13. Do not change the engine governor settings 

or overspeed the engine.  Excessive engine 
speeds are dangerous.

14. Observe proper disposal laws and regula-

tions.  Improper disposal of fluids and materi-
als can harm the environment and the 
ecology.
a.

Prior to disposal, contact your local 
Environmental Protection Agency to 
determine the proper method for dis-
posing of the waste.  Recycling cen-
ters are established to properly 
dispose of materials in an environmen-
tally safe fashion.

b.

Use proper containers when draining 
fluids.  Do not use food or beverage 
containers that may mislead someone 
into drinking from them.  Properly dis-
pose of the containers immediately fol-
lowing the draining of fluids.

c.

DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the 
ground, down drain or into a stream, 
pond, lake or other body of water.  
Observe Environmental Protection 
Agency regulations when disposing of 
oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, 
batteries, tires and other harmful 
waste.

15. We do not recommend the use of high pres-

sure washers to clean your unit.  They may 
cause damage to electrical components; spin-
dles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine.

WARNING-YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who 
read, understand and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
