NEVER assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and in the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the
area.
• Before and while backing, look behind and down
for small children.
• Children should be a minimum of 12 years of age
before operating a pedestrian-controlled lawn
mower and a minimum of 16 years of age before
operating a riding lawn mower.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees or other objects that may block your
view of a child.
• NEVER OPERATE THE MOWER WHEN
CHILDREN ARE PRESENT.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall
accidents which can result in severe injury. All slopes
require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope,
do not mow it.
• Mow across the face of slopes: NEVER up and
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. You could lose footing or balance.
• DO NOT mow on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident.
III. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on
the machine and in the instruction manual before
starting.
• DO NOT put hands or feet near rotating parts or
under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
• Allow only responsible adults familiar with the
instructions to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,
etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the
blades. Stay behind the handles while the engine
is running.
• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before
operating. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
• DO NOT operate the mower when barefoot or
while wearing sandals. ALWAYS wear substantial
footwear.
• DO NOT pull mower backwards unless absolutely
necessary. ALWAYS look down and behind before
and while moving backwards.
• NEVER direct discharged material toward anyone.
Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the
operator. Stop the blades when crossing gravel
surfaces.
• DO NOT operate machine without the entire grass
catcher, discharge chute or other safety devices in
place and working.
• See manufacturer’s instructions for proper
operation and installation of accessories. Only use
accessories approved by the manufacturer.
• NEVER leave a running machine unattended.
• Stop the engine (motor) and wait until the blade
comes to a complete stop before cleaning the
mower, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging
the discharge guard.
• Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• DO NOT operate the machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
• NEVER operate machine in wet grass. ALWAYS
be sure of your footing; keep a firm hold on the
handle and walk; NEVER run.
• Disengage the drive system on mowers so
equipped before starting the engine (motor).
• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the engine (motor) and check for the cause
immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection when operating
machine.
IV. SERVICE
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
• To avoid personal injury or property damage,
use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline
is extremely flammable and the vapours are
explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
• Use only an approved gasoline container.
• NEVER remove gas cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool before
refueling.
• NEVER fuel the machine indoors.
• NEVER store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such
as on a water heater or other appliances.
• NEVER fill containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. ALWAYS
place containers on the ground away from your
vehicle when filling.
