OPERATION
MOWING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the mower for the first time, please review the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION beginning on page 6 and the
previous section, titled BEFORE OPERATION.
Even if you have operated other mowers, take time to become
familiar with how this mower works and practice in a safe area until
you build up your skills.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed
area such as a garage. Your mower's exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area
and cause illness or death.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting, always release the blade control lever and drive
clutch lever, so the blade will not turn, and the mower will not move
forward, when you operate the starter.
