Operating
Safety
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn
and garden equipment. Our products are designed and manufac-
tured to meet or exceed all industry standards for safety.
Do not operate this machine unless you have familiarized yourself
with it. Reading and understanding this operator's manual is a
way to do just that.
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused,
or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you
are responsible for your safety and that of those around you.
Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you
are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely
done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional:
contact your local authorized dealer.
Read the Manual
The operator's manual contains important safety infor-
mation you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate
your unit as well as DURING operation.
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the prod-
uct's features and controls, and maintenance informa-
tion is included to help you get the most out of your
equipment investment.
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and
Information found on the following pages. Also com-
pletely read the Operation section.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do
not allow them anywhere near the area of
operation. Children are often attracted to the
unit and mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
If there is a risk that children may enter the
area where you are mowing, have another
responsible adult watch them.
