Never operate the lawn mower unless you install a
cover plate, a mulch plate, or a grass chute and
catcher.

Mercury Tilt Switch

The tilt switch on this unit contains mercury, a hazardous
material. Mercury that is outside a sealed container
vaporizes at room temperature. The vapors are harmful.
Mercury can be absorbed through the skin. Do not attempt
to open or repair this switch.
A very small amount of mercury is contained in a
hermetically sealed body. The steel switch is then potted
in a hard epoxy in a plastic case. It is unlikely that the
mercury will ever escape from the enclosure. These high
performance and reliable inexpensive switches are
recyclable.
Mercury is an important and beneficial compound but
requires special care in handling and disposal. When used
and managed properly, mercury is not a threat to people or
the environment. This information is presented to users so
that they are aware that these switches contain mercury
and will apply sound disposal practices when these
devices reach their normal end of life or are damaged.
