LAWN MOWER SAFETY WARNINGS
Before using, always visually inspect to ensure blades,
■
blade bolts, and cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. Check the product before each use and
frequently during operation.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to
■
preserve balance.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
■
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear, holes
■
or deterioration. This can cause objects to be thrown
towards the operator.
Replace worn or damaged parts before operating the
■
product.
Never operate the mower if the power lever, when
■
released, does not stop the engine.
Do not operate the product without the entire grass
■
catcher or the guard of the self-closing discharge
opening in place.
Do not use the product when there is a risk of lightning.
■
Do not force the product. It will do the job better and
■
safer at the speed for which it was designed.
Do not overload the product. Mowing long, thick grass
■
may cause the motor speed to drop or the power to cut
out. When mowing in long thick grass, a first cut with
the cutting height set high will help reduce the load. See
Adjusting the Blade Height.
Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces.
■
Do not pull the product backward unless absolutely
■
necessary. If you must back the product away from a
wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid
tripping or pulling the product over your feet.
Stop the blade(s) if the machine has to be tilted for
■
transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the machine to and from the
area to be mowed.
Never operate the product with defective guards
■
or shields, or without safety devices, for example,
deflectors or grass collector, or both, in place.
Carefully start the engine according to instructions and
■
keep hands and feet away from the cutting area. Keep
clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Never pick up or carry the product while the engine is
■
running.
Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or
■
other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a
slip-and-fall accident.
When not in use, mower should be stored in a well-
■
ventilated, dry, locked up place, out of the reach of
children.
