• Carefully read all instructions on the mower and in the manual before attempting to assemble and
operate the mower. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference, and consult it regularly.
• Become familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the mower and
how to disengage the power in an emergency.
• In order to avoid contact with the blade or injury caused by a thrown object, stay in the operating
zone behind the handles, and keep children and bystanders at least 100ft (30 m) away from the
mower while it is in operation. Stop the motor immediately if someone enters the mowing area.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones, toys, and other objects that could be tripped over or thrown by the blade. Thrown
objects can cause serious personal injury.
• Plan your mowing pattern in such a way as to avoid discharging material toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders, etc. Do not discharge material against a wall or obstruction. Doing so
may cause the discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator.
• Always wear proper eye protection that complies with ANSI Z87.1 in order to protect your
eyes while operating or performing any adjustment or repair. Thrown objects that ricochet can
cause serious eye injury.
• Always wear a face mask or a dust mask when operating the mower in a dusty environment.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can get caught in moving parts. The
wearing of protective gloves and safety footwear is recommended.
• Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the operator’s foot during a
fall caused by slipping or tripping. Do not operate this mower in bare feet, or while wearing
sandals or lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes. Do not hold on to the mower if you are falling.
Release the handle immediately.
• Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower
away from a wall or an obstruction, rst 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.
• Do not use the mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Do not force the mower.
• Do not operate the mower while under the inuence 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.
