Use and Care Guide

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 other than
the operator.
• Stay alert and turn the lawn mower o if a child enters the
area.
• Never let children operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child.
Service
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Regularly check to
ensure these devices are in place and in proper
working order.
• Keep the lawn mower free from grass, leaves, or other
debris buildup.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the engine
(motor) running. Always unplug electric lawn mowers
before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing.
• Check the grass bag components and the discharge
guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s
recommended parts when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves,
and use extra caution when servicing them.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,
as necessary.
