Product Overview Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Each time before you mow, make sure that the self-propel drive and the blade control bar operate properly. When you release the blade control bar, the blade and self-propel drive should stop. If they do not, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. This machine produces sound levels in excess of 85dBA at the operator’s ear and can cause hearing loss through extended periods of exposure.
Checking the Engine Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the engine oil level. In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. Before you use the mower, ensure that the oil level is between the lower limit and upper limit marks as shown on the dipstick (Figure 11). • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, and when the engine is cold.
When fueling, under certain circumstances, a static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and damage property. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling. • Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
