20. Never operate mower without proper trail shield, 

discharge cover, grass catcher, 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.

21. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do 

not touch.

22. Only use parts and accessories made for this machine by 

the original equipment manufacturer (O.E.M). Failure to 
do so can result in personal injury.

23. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, 

use care and good judgment. Contact your dealer for 
assistance. Telephone 1-800-800-7310 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. Before operating this unit on a slope or hilly area, use 
the slope gauge on page 6 to measure slopes. 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 blade control handle immediately, 
and the blade will stop rotating within 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.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the 
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the 
mower and the mowing activity. They do not understand the 
dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you 
last saw them.

1.

Keep children out of the mowing area and under the 
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the 
operator.

2.

Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.

3.

Before and while moving backwards, look behind and 
down for small children.

4.

Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, 
doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may 
obscure your vision of a child who may run into the 
mower.

5.

Keep children away from hot or running engines. They 
can suffer burns from a hot muffler. 

6.

Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a 
power mower. Children 14 years old and over should 
read and understand the operation instructions and 
safety rules in this manual and should be trained and 
supervised by a parent.

Service

Safe Handling of Gasoline:

1.

To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme 
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely 
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious 
personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on 
yourself or your clothes which can ignite. 

2.

Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

3.

Use only an approved gasoline container.

4.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or 
trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on 
the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

5.

If possible, remove gas-powered equipment from the 
truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not 
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a 
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser 
nozzle.

6.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or 
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do 
not use a nozzle lock-open device.

7.

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

8.

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

9.

Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot 
or running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes 
before refueling.

10. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch 

below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel 
expansion.

11. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
12. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and 

equipment. Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes 
before starting the engine.

13. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where 

there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water 
heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas 
appliances. 

14. To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass, leaves, 

or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and 
remove any fuel soaked debris. 

15. Allow a mower to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.

General Service:

1.

Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated 
area. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an 
odorless and deadly gas.

2.

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain 
the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect 
the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to 
prevent unintended starting.
