s. Never pull the mower back toward you
while you are walking. If you must
back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction, first look down and behind
you to avoid tripping, and then follow
these steps:
t. Step back from mower to fully extend
your arms.
u. Be sure you are well balanced with sure
footing.
v. Pull the mower back slowly, no more
than half way toward you.
w. Repeat these steps as needed.
x. Do not operate the mower while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
y. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing.
z. Use common sense. Do not operate
the lawn mower when you are tired.
aa. The motor/blade control handle is a
safety device. Never attempt to
bypass its operation. Doing so makes
the safety device inoperative and may
result in personal injury through contact
with the rotating blade. The motor/
blade control handle must operate
easily in both directions and
automatically return to the disengaged
position when released.
ab. Avoid dangerous environments. Don't
use lawn mowers in damp or wet
locations so as to avoid slipping and
falling during
ac. Always be sure of your footing. A slip
and fall can cause serious personal
injury. If you feel you are losing your
footing, release the motor/blade control
handle immediately and the blade will
stop rotating within three seconds.
ad. Mow only in daylight or good artificial
light. Walk, never run while operating.
ae. Stop the blade when crossing gravel
drives, walks or roads.
af. If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, immediately stop the
motor, remove the battery and check
for the cause.
ag. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
ah. Before cleaning the machine,
unclogging the chute or removing or
replacing the grass bag, mulching
insert, or side discharge chute, turn
the motor off and wait until the blade
comes to a complete stop, then
remove the battery pack. The cutting
blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is shut off.
Never place any part of the body in the
blade area until you are sure the blade
has stopped rotating.
ai. Never operate the mower without the
proper trailing shield, discharge cover,
grass bag, mulching insert, side
discharge chute, motor/blade control
handle or other safety protective
devices in place and working. Never
operate the mower with damaged
safety devices. Failure to do so can
result in personal injury.
aj. If situations occur that are not
covered in this manual, use care and
good judgment. Contact HENX
Customer Service for assistance.
