12. Never pull the mower back toward you while you are
walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction first look down and behind to avoid tripping
and then follow these steps:
a. Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
b.
Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
c. Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way
toward you.
d. Repeat these steps as needed.
13. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
14.
Stay alert — Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate lawn mower when you are tired.
15. The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never
attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
safety device inoperative and may result in personal injury
through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade
control handle must operate easily in both directions and
automatically return to the disengaged position when
released.
16. Do not charge the mower in rain, or in wet conditions.
17. Never operate the mower in rain or wet grass. Always
be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious
personal injury. If you feel you are losing your footing,
release the motor/blade control handle immediately and
the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
18. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never
run.
19.
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
20. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
21. Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes to
a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or
unclogging the chute. The cutting blade continues to
rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never
place any part of the body in the blade area until you are
sure the blade has stopped rotating.
22. Never operate mower without proper trail shield,
discharge cover, grass catcher, motor/blade control handle
or other safety protective devices in place and working.
Never operate mower with damaged safety devices. Failure
to do so, can result in personal injury.
23.

manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
24. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use
care and good judgment. Telephone Customer Support for
the name of your nearest dealer.
Slope Operation:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which
can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your
safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this manual to
measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly
area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not mow it.
Do:
1.
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2.
Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
3.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can
cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing
your balance, release the motor/blade control handle
immediately, and the blade will stop rotating within three
(3) seconds.
Do Not:
1.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you
could lose your footing or balance.
2.
Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees as shown on
the slope gauge.
3.
Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause
slipping.
