SPARK ARRESTER WARNING TO RESIDENTS
OF CALIFORNIA AND SEVERAL OTHER STATES
Under California law, and under the laws of several
other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal
combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any
forest, brush, hay, grain, or grass covered land; or land
covered by any flammable agricultural crop without an
engine spark arrester in continuous effective working
order.
The engine on the unit is an internal combustion engine
which burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel, and must be
equipped with a spark arrester muffler in continuous
effective working order. The spark arrester must be
attached to the engine exhaust system in such a manner
that flames or heat from the system will not ignite
flammable material. Failure of the owner/operator of the
unit to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanor
under California law (and other states) and may also be
a violation of other state and/or federal regulations,
laws, ordinances or codes. Contact your local fire mar-
shal or forest service for specific information about
which regulations apply in your area.

IMPORTANT
Safe Operation Practices for Walk-Behind Mowers.
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.
Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
General Operation
1. Read, understand, and follow all
instructions on the machine and in the
manuals. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equip-
ment before starting.
2. Do not put hands or
feet near or under rotating
parts. Keep clear of the
rotating trimmer head and
line at all times.
3. Only allow responsible adults, who
are familiar with the instructions, to oper-
ate the trimmer/mower. Never let children
or untrained adults operate this unit.
4. Inspect the area where the machine is
to be used. The machine can propel small
objects at high speed, causing personal
injury or property damage. Clear the area
of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,
bones, sticks, etc., which could be picked
up and thrown by the trimmer line.
5. Be sure the area is clear of other
people (particularly small children and
pets) before mowing. Stop machine if
anyone enters the area. Keep bystanders
at least 50 feet from the area of operation.
6. Do not operate the machine when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. Always
wear substantial footwear.
7. Wear appropriate clothing such as a
long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long
trousers or slacks. Do not wear shorts.
8. Do not wear loose clothing—it could
catch in the equipment.
9. Do not mow in reverse unless abso-
lutely necessary. Always look down and
behind before and while moving back-
wards.
10. Do not operate the trimmer/mower
without proper guards, plates, or other
protective safety devices in place.
11. Refer to provided instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories. Only use factory-approved
accessories.
12. Stop trimmer head when crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Wait for
trimmer lines to stop.
13. Stop engine and disconnect
spark plug wire from spark plug
whenever you leave the unit,
clean the unit, or replace
trimmer line. Remove key
on electric start model.
14. Wait until the trimmer head comes to
a complete stop, shut the engine off, and
disconnect the spark plug wire before
installing or removing trimmer line. Be
sure the trimmer head is securely attached
before operating the machine.
