OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER • Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on a slope. • Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles. • Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the blade/ motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER MOWING TIPS NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting high grass. Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per year, as described in the Maintenance section. • Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the blades or the motor.

MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE MOWER WA R N I N G In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water. The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use, because grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and other debris will accumulate, which will cause rust and corrosion.
