CAUTION • • • • • DO NOT operate mower with grass catcher partially installed. Disengage blades and stop engine before leaving mower seat to empty containers, unclogging chutes, etc. Close cover before starting. Disengage mower blades when crossing driveways or gravel surfaces and other areas where thrown objects could be a hazard.
