Slope Safety
•
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Use extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
•
Do not mow on excessively steep slopes. Poor
footing could cause a slip-and-fall accident.
•
Mow with caution near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments.

Note:
If the machine does not start after several
attempts, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Using the Self-Propel Drive
To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk forward
or backward with your hands on the upper handle
and your elbows at your sides, and the machine will
automatically keep pace with you (

Figure 18
Note:
If the machine does not freely roll forward
or backward after self-propelling, stop walking, hold
your hands in place, and allow the machine to roll a
couple of centimeters (inches) forward to disengage
the wheel drive. You can also try reaching just under
the upper handle to the metal handle and pushing the
machine forward a couple of centimeters (inches). If
you are having issues propelling in reverse, slightly lift
the handle. If the machine still does not roll backward
easily, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Shutting Off the Engine
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
To shut off the engine, release the blade-control bar.
Important:
When you release the blade-control
bar, both the engine and blade should stop within
3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop
using your machine immediately and contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Recycling the Clippings
Your machine comes from the factory ready to recycle
the grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn.
If the grass bag is on the machine and the
bag-on-demand lever is in the bagging position,
move the lever to the recycling position; refer to
Operating the Bag-on-Demand Lever (page 13)
. If
the side-discharge chute is on the machine, remove
it; refer to
Removing the Side-Discharge Chute (page
