SAFETY
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR PEDESTRIAN CONTROLLED
LAWN MOWERS
WARNING: This mower is equipped with an internal combustion engine
and
should NOT be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered,
brush-cov-
ered, or grass covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped
with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or provincial laws (if any). If a
spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in eective working order by
the operator. A spark arrester for the muer is available through your nearest
authorized service centre/department.
I. CHILDREN
WARNING: CHILDREN CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS
EQUIPMENT. Carefully read and follow all of the safety instructions below.
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 in the watchful care of a responsible adult
other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn machine o if a child enters the area.
• Before and while backing up, look behind and down for small children.
• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that
may block your view of a child.
• NEVER OPERATE THE MOWER WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can result in severe
injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
5
• Mow across the face of slopes: NEVER up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could
cause a slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• DO NOT mow near drop-os, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing
or balance.
• DO NOT mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a
slip and fall accident.
III. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the instruction
manual before starting.
• DO NOT put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of
the discharge opening at all times.
• Allow only responsible adults familiar with the instructions to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up
and thrown by the blades. Stay behind the handles while the engine is running.
• Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before operating. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
• DO NOT operate the mower when barefoot or while wearing sandals. ALWAYS wear
substantial footwear.
• DO NOT pull mower backwards unless absolutely necessary. ALWAYS look down
and behind before and while moving backwards.
• NEVER direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material
against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop
the blades when crossing gravel surfaces.
• DO NOT operate machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge chute or other
safety devices in place and working.
• See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accesso-
ries. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer.
• NEVER leave a running machine unattended.
• Stop the engine (motor) and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
cleaning the mower, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard.
• Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial light.
• DO NOT operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Disengage the drive system on mowers so it is equipped before starting the engine
(motor).

• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check for the cause immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection when operating the machine.
IV. SERVICE
SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
• To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.
• Use only an approved gasoline container.
• NEVER remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool
before refueling.
• NEVER fuel the machine indoors.
• NEVER store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark or
pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.
• NEVER fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner.
ALWAYS place containers on the ground away from your vehicle when filling.
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete. DO NOT use a nozzle lock-open device.
• If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
• NEVER overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.
GENERAL SERVICE
• NEVER operate machine in a closed area.
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to ensure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• NEVER remove or tamper with any safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly. NEVER do anything to interfere with the function of a safety device or to
reduce the protection oered by the safety device.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel spillage
and remove any fuel-soaked debris. Allow machine to cool before storing.
• If you strike a foreign object, stop and inspect the machine. Repair, if necessary,
before restarting.
7
• NEVER attempt to make any adjustments or repairs while the engine (motor) is
running. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge chute frequently, and replace
with manufacturer’s recommended parts when necessary.
• Mower blade is sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves and use extra caution when
servicing it.
• DO NOT change the engine governor setting or over speed the engine.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as necessary.
