1. GENERAL OPERATION

• Read, understand, and follow all

instructions in the operator’s manual

and on the machine before starting.

Keep this manual in a safe place for

future and regular reference and for

ordering replacement parts.

• Only allow responsible individuals

familiar with the instructions to oper-

ate the machine. Know controls and

how to stop the machine quickly.

• Do not put hands or feet under

cutting deck or near rotating parts.

• Clear the area of objects such as

rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could

be picked up and thrown by the

blade. A small object may have

been overlooked and could be

accidentally thrown by the mower in

any direction and cause injury to

you or a bystander. To help avoid a

thrown objects injury, keep children,

bystanders and helpers at least 75

feet from the mower while it is in

operation. Always wear safety

glasses or safety goggles during

operation or while performing an

adjustment or repair, to protect eyes

from foreign objects. Stop the

blade(s) when crossing gravel

drives, walks or roads.

• Be sure the area is clear of other

people before mowing. Stop

machine if anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

• Disengage blade(s) before shifting

into reverse and backing up. Always

look down and behind before and

while backing.

• Be aware of the mower and

attachment discharge direction and

do not point it at anyone. Do not

operate the mower without either

the entire grass catcher or the chute

guard in place.

• Slow down before turning. Operate

the machine smoothly. Avoid erratic

operation and excessive speed.

SECTION 2: IMPORTANT SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES

WARNING: THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS WHICH, IF NOT FOLLOWED, COULD ENDANGER

THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OF YOURSELF AND

OTHERS.READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR UNIT. FAILURE TO

COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL

INJURY. WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL, HEED ITS WARNING.

WARNING: The engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and

certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

DANGER: Your lawn mower was built to be operated according to the

rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type of power

equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in

serious injury. This lawn mower is capable of amputating hands and feet

and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions

could result in serious injury or death.

• Never leave a running machine

unattended. Always turn off blade(s),

place transmission in neutral, set

park brake, stop engine and remove

key before dismounting.

• Turn off blade(s) when not mowing.

• Stop engine and wait until blade(s)

comes to a complete stop before (a)

removing grass catcher or

unclogging chute, or (b) making any

repairs, adjusting or removing any

grass or debris.

• Mow only in daylight or good

artificial light.

• Do not operate the machine while

under the influence of alcohol or

drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating

near or crossing roadways.

• Use extra care when loading or

unloading the machine into a trailer

or truck. This unit should not be

driven up or down a ramp onto a

trailer or truck under power,

because the unit could tip over,

causing serious personal injury. The

unit must be pushed manually on a

ramp to load or unload properly.

• Never make a cutting height

adjustment while engine is running if

operator must dismount to do so.

• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes

and close-fitting slacks and shirts. Do

not wear loose fitting clothes or

jewelry. They can be caught in

moving parts. Never operate a unit in

bare feet, sandals, or sneakers.

• Check overhead clearance carefully

before driving under power lines,

wires, bridges or low hanging tree

branches, before entering or leaving

buildings, or in any other situation

where the operator may be struck or

pulled from the unit, which could

result in serious injury.

• Disengage all attachment clutches,

thoroughly depress the brake pedal,

and shift into neutral before

attempting to start engine.

• Your mower is designed to cut

normal residential grass of a height

no more than 10". Do not attempt to

mow through unusually tall, dry grass

(e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves.

Debris may build up on the mower

deck or contact the engine exhaust

presenting a potential fire hazard.

• Use only accessories approved for

this machine by the manufacturer.

Read, understand and follow all

instructions provided with the

approved accessory.

2. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to

loss of control and tip-over accidents

which can result in severe injury or

death. All slopes require extra caution.

If you cannot back up the slope or if

you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

For your safety, use the slope gauge

included as part of this manual to

measure slopes before operating this

unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the

slope is greater than 15° as shown on

the slope gauge, do not operate this

unit on that area or serious injury

could result.

DO:

• Mow up and down slopes, not

across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks,

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn the

machine. Tall grass can hide

obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Choose a low

enough gear so that you will not

have to stop or shift while on the

slope. Always keep machine in gear

when going down slopes to take

advantage of engine braking action.

• Follow the manufacturers

recommendations for wheel weights

or counterweights to improve

stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers

or other attachments. These can

change the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes

slow and gradual. Do not make

sudden changes in speed or

direction. Rapid engagement or

braking could cause the front of the

machine to lift and rapidly flip over

backwards which could cause

serious injury.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a

slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blade(s) and proceed

slowly straight down the slope.

DO NOT:

• Do not turn on slopes unless

necessary; then, turn slowly and

gradually downhill, if possible.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches

or embankments. The mower could

suddenly turn over if a wheel is over

the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an

edge caves in.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine

by putting your foot on the ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

3. CHILDREN

• 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 watchful care of an adult

other than the operator.

• Be alert and turn machine off if

children enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look

behind and down for small children.

• Never carry children, even with the

blades off. They may fall off and be

seriously injured or interfere with the

safe machine operation.

• Never allow children under 14 years

old to operate the machine. Children

14 years and over should only

operate machine under close

parental supervision and proper

instruction.

• Use extra care when approaching

blind corners, shrubs, trees or other

objects that may obscure your vision

of a child or other hazard.

• Remove key when machine is

unattended to prevent unauthorized

operation.

4. SERVICE

• Use extreme care in handling

gasoline and other fuels. They are

extremely flammable and the vapors

are explosive.

• Use only an approved container.

• Never remove fuel cap or add fuel

with the engine running. Allow

engine to cool at least two minutes

before refueling.

• Replace fuel cap securely and wipe

off any spilled fuel before starting

the engine as it may cause a fire or

explosion.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars,

pipes and other sources of ignition.

• Never refuel the machine indoors

because fuel vapors will accumulate

in the area.

• Never store the fuel container or

machine inside where there is an

open flame or spark, such as a gas

hot water heater, space heater or

furnace.

• Never run a machine inside a closed

area.

• To reduce fire hazard, keep the

machine free of grass, leaves or

other debris build-up. Clean up oil or

fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool

at least 5 minutes before storing.

• Before cleaning, repairing or

inspecting, make certain the blade

and all moving parts have stopped.

Disconnect the spark plug wire, and

keep the wire away from the spark

plug to prevent accidental starting.

• Check the blade and engine

mounting bolts at frequent intervals

for proper tightness. Also, visually

inspect blade for damage (e.g.,

excessive wear, bent, cracked).

Replace with blade which meets

original equipment specifications.

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight

to be sure the equipment is in safe

working condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation

regularly. Use all guards as

instructed in this manual.

• After striking a foreign object, stop

the engine, remove the wire from

the spark plug and thoroughly

inspect the mower for any damage.

Repair the damage before restarting

and operating the mower.

• Grass catcher components are

subject to wear, damage and

deterioration, which could expose

moving parts or allow objects to be

thrown. For your safety protection,

frequently check components and

replace with manufacturer’s

recommended parts when

necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can

cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear

gloves and use extra caution when

servicing blade(s).

• Check brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required.

• Muffler, engine and belt guards

become hot during operation and

can cause a burn. Allow to cool

down before touching.

• Do not change the engine governor

settings or overspeed the engine.

Excessive engine speeds are

dangerous.

• Observe proper disposal laws and

regulations. Improper disposal

offluids and materials can harm the

environment and the ecology.

• Prior to disposal, determine the

proper method to dispose of waste

from your local Environmental

Protection Agency. Recycling

centers are established to properly

dispose of materials in an

environmentally safe fashion.

• Use proper containers when

draining fluids. Do not use food or

beverage containers that may

mislead someone into drinking from

them. Properly dispose of the

containers immediately following the

draining of fluids.

• DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into

the ground, down a drain or into a

stream, pond, lake or other body of

water. Observe Environmental

Protection Agency regulations when

disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake

fluid, filters, batteries, tires and other

harmful waste.

• We do not recommend the use of a

pressure washer or garden hose to

clean your unit. They may cause

damage to electrical components;

spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the

engine. The use of water will result

in shortened life and reduce

serviceability.

WARNING - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: Restrict the use of

this power machine to persons who read, understand and follow

the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
