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

T

ragic 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 under-

stand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual 
and shou

ld 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. 

Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.

2.  Use only an approved gasoline container.
3.  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.

4.  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.

5.  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.

6  Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of 

ignition.

7.  Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will 

accumulate in the area.

8.  Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or run-

ning.  Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.

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

bottom of filler neck to provide for fuel expansion.

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

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

12. Never store the machine or fuel container near an open flame, 

spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater,  furnace, 

clothes dryer or other gas appliances. 

13. 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. 

14.  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. 

3.  Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent 

intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade for 

damage (e.g., bent, cracked, worn) Replace blade with the 

original equipment manufacture’s (O.E.M.) blade only, listed 

in this manual. “Use of parts which do not meet the original 

equipment specifications may lead to improper performance 

and compromise safety!” 

4.  Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or wear 

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

5.  Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment 

is in safe working condition.

6.  Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation 

regularly.

7.  After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the 

spark plug wire and ground against the engine. Thoroughly 

inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage before 

starting and operating the mower.

8.  Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height adjustment 

while the engine is running.

9.  Grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail shield 

are subject to wear and damage which could expose moving 

parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, 

frequently check components and replace immediately with 

original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts only, listed 

in this manual. “Use of parts which do not meet the original 

equipment specifications may lead to improper performance 

and compromise safety!”

10. Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the 

engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating 

speed of the engine. 

11. Check fuel line, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or 

leaks. Replace if necessary. 

12. Do not crank engine with spark plug removed. 
13. Maintain or replace safety labels, as necessary.
14.  Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper 

disposal of fluids and materials can harm the environment. 

Do not modify engine

To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any way. 

Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway engine 

and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper with 

factory setting of engine governor.
