each use. Before you begin your inspection, be
sure the following conditions are met: the lawn
mower should be on a flat and level surface, with
the ignition switch off, the key removed, and the
blades disengaged. Also, disconnect the spark
plug wires from the spark plugs and ground them

WARNING! Do not use your BEAST lawn mower
to carry passengers. Keep bystanders, helpers,
pets and children at a safe distance from the
machine while it is in operation since rotating
blades can throw rocks and other items, causing
serious injury. Check the area before you begin
mowing for stones, sticks, wire, and other foreign
objects. These objects may become projectiles
when struck by the mower.
WARNING! Wear protective clothing while
mowing. Long pants and safety glasses help
reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects.
Adequate footwear, such as steel toe shoes with
aggressive soles, is recommended to help protect
your feet and maintain traction on slopes or
uneven grounds. Always wear hearing protection.

fluid spills or leaks on or underneath the
mower. Remove any and all excessive

wear. Check the tightness of all nuts, bolts,
pins, and screws. Tighten any that may be
loose and replace any that are missing.

be started unless the ground speed control
lever is in neutral and the blades are
disengaged.
4. Check the mower blades for any damage or
abnormal wear. Replace in sets so that they
are balanced.
