SAFETY INFORMATION
3. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of
children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity.
Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a
responsible adult.
• Stay alert, and turn the mower off if a child or any other person enters the
mowing area.
• Never allow children to operate the machine
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run
into the path of the mower.
4. SERVICE
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to be sure that the equipment
is in safe working condition.
• Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly. Never do anything to interfere with the intended function of a
safety device or to reduce the protection provided by a safety device.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build up. Allow machine
to cool before storing.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the motor. Thoroughly inspect the mower
for any damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the motor running.
• Always remove battery pack from mowers before adjusting, cleaning, or
repairing.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and
replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and
use extra caution when servicing.
