Introduction

This rotary-blade, walk-behind lawn mower is

or professional, hired operators. It is designed
primarily for cutting grass on well-maintained lawns
on residential or commercial properties. It is not
designed for cutting brush or for agricultural uses.

is supplied

for information regarding the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the California
Emission Control Regulation of emission systems,
maintenance, and warranty. Replacements may be
ordered through the engine manufacturer.
