• Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower away
from a wall or an obstruction, first look down and behind in order to avoid tripping, and then follow
these steps:
• Step back from the mower in order to fully extend your arms.
• Be sure that you are well balanced.
• Pull the mower back slowly.
• Repeat these steps as necessary.
• Do not use mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Do not force the mower.
• Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Stay alert: Do not operate the mower when you are tired. Pay attention to what you are doing. Use
common sense.
• Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can
amputate hands and feet.
• Do not attempt to adjust the wheels or the cutting height while the motor is running.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the mower in the rain or in wet or damp grass.
• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Do not rush a mowing job.
• Stop the blade when crossing gravel driveways, walkways, or roads.
• If the mower starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check for the cause immediately.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• Stop the motor and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass
catcher or unclogging the chute. The cutting blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after
the motor is shut off. Do not place any part of your body in the blade area until you are sure that
the blade has stopped rotating.
• Never operate the mower without a proper trail shield, discharge cover, grass catcher, blade/motor
control, or other safety protective devices in place and in working order. Do not operate the mower
with damaged safety devices. Doing so can result in injury.
