MOWER. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them. Do not use the

 Wear long pants while mowing. 
 Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which might be caught on the mower’s 

moving parts. 

 Use hearing protection or earplugs to protect your hearing. 
 We recommend wearing gloves while mowing. 

Operating the Machine Safely 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 Keep bystanders at least 100 feet away from your work area at all times.  Objects can be 

thrown far from the mower and at great speeds.  To be safe, do not operate the 
machine near small children or pets, and never allow children to operate the mower.  
Disengage the blade and stop the engine when another person approaches. 

 Be sure all blade and wheel controls are DISENGAGED before attempting to start the 

engine.  Engage and disengage the blade a few times to get used to it before mowing. 

 NEVER remove the shields from the mower, or alter the deck in any way. 
 Keep your hands and feet away from the blade, belts, chains, blade pulleys, and 

concealed areas while the engine is running.  NEVER reach under the deck or grab 
hold of any part of the deck when the engine is running. 

 ALWAYS shut off the engine and remove the spark plug wire before adjusting the 

machine. If you have to stop to remove grass or debris from the underside of the deck, 
ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire first. 

 The exhaust area on the engine becomes very hot with use. Allow the engine to cool 

before doing maintenance or making adjustments. 

 Keep combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot. 
 When operating over uneven terrain and slopes, use EXTREME CAUTION to ensure 

solid and firm footing. 

 Use the machine only in daylight or good artificial light. 
 Use extra caution when mowing in wet or slippery conditions.
