Grass Catcher; Folding Handle - Talon AM3060 Owner's Manual

general, plastic containers are unsuitable.
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead before inspecting the mower if:
(a) the mower begins to vibrate abnormally, or
(b) after striking a foreign object.
• Check the catcher for wear and tear, and replace any worn or broken parts.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves and any spilt fuel.
• Shut the engine off and wait until the blades come to a complete stop before removing the
catcher or un-clogging the chute.
• Never pick up or carry a mower when it is operating.
• Replace worn or faulty silencers.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly
are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve
balance.
• Do not mow whilst people, especially children, or pets are in the mowing area.
• Do not allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.
• Store the mower in a well-ventilated room away from naked flames such as may be found
in hot water heaters.
• Do not over-speed the engine or alter governor settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and
shortens mower life.
• Turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing and reduce the throttle setting during engine
run-out.
• Never cut grass while walking backwards.
• Walk, never run.
• Never use the mower unless the grass catcher, or guards provided, are in position.
