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. 
I. General Operation
 
1.  Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and 
in the manual(s). Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the 
proper use of the mower before starting.
2.  Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear 
of the discharge opening at all times.
3.  Only allow responsible individuals, who are familiar with the 
instructions, to operate the mower.
4.  Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, bones, sticks 
etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s).
5.  Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop 
mower if anyone enters the area.
6.  Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open 
sandals. Always wear substantial foot wear.
7.  Do not pull mower backwards unless absolutely necessary. Look 
down and behind before and while moving backwards.
8.  Do not operate the mower without proper guards, plates, grass 
catcher or other safety protective devices in place.
9.  See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and 
installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by 
the manufacturer.
10. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
11. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the equipment, 
before cleaning the mower or unclogging the chute.
12. Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until the blade comes to 
complete stop before removing grass catcher.
13. Mow only in daylight or good artifi cial light.
14. Do not operate the mower while under the infl uence of alcohol 
or drugs.
15. Never operate mower in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing; 
keep a fi rm hold on the handle and walk; never run.
16. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive clutch on 
mowers so equipped before starting the engine (motor).
17. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the 
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is 
generally a warning of trouble.
18. Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields  
when operating mower.
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. 
DO: 
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise extreme 
caution when changing direction on slopes. 
Remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. Watch 
for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
      
DO NOT: 
 
 
 
 
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The opera-
tor could lose footing or balance. 
 
 
 
 
Do not mow excessively steep slopes. 
 
 
 
  
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.
      
III. Children 
 
 
 
 
Tragic 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. 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.  
 
 
2.   Be alert and turn mower off if children enter the area.
3.   Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down 
for small children.  
 
4.  Never allow children to operate the mower. 
5.  Use extra care when approaching blind comers, shrubs, trees, 
or other objects that may obscure vision. 
IV. Service 
 
1. Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are 
fl ammable and vapors are explosive.
   a)Use only an approved container.
   b)Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. 
Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
   c)Never refuel the machine indoors.
   d)Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there 
is an open fl ame, such as a water heater.
2. Never run an engine inside a closed area. 
3.Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine (motor) 
running. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away 
from the plug to prevent accidental starting. 
4. Keep all nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight 
and keep equipment in good condition.
5.  Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation 
regularly. 
6.  Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. 
Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to cool before storing.
7.  Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an Object. Repair, 
if necessary, before restarting.
8.  Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while the 
engine (motor) is running.
9.  Always disconnect electric mowers (live operated) before 
cleaning, repairing, or adjusting.
10. Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and 
deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects 
to be thrown.  Frequently check components and replace with 
manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.”
11. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or 
wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
12. Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed 
the engine.
