OPERATION
The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result
in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or
performing any adjustments
or repairs. We recommend
standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety
mask over spectacles.

To start the blade, hold the operator presence control
bar down to the handle and push the blade/brake
control lever forward until it latches. To stop the blade,
release the operator presence control bar.
Do not
pull the blade/brake lever rearward with the operator
presence control bar down against the handle. Allow
a cold engine to warm up in high idle position for one
minute before engaging the blade.
NOTE: It is normal to hear the belt slip as the blade is
engaged and comes up to speed.

Do not start the blade in uncut grass. Move the mower
out of uncut grass before starting the blade.

Federal regulations require
this blade/brake
control to minimize
the risk of blade contact injury. Do not
under any circumstances
attempt
to
defeat the function
of this control.
