Use EXTREME caution when backing up. LOOK BEHIND YOU!
Stop the blades when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting
the mower to and from the area to be mowed.
Never operate the mower with damaged guards, shields, or covers. Always have
safety shields, guards, switches, and other devices in place and in proper
working condition.
DO NOT change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating
an engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.
Disengage blade drive before starting engine.
Start the engine carefully with feet well away from the blades.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating parts while the mower is being
operated.
Stop the engine and remove ignition key:
• Before checking, cleaning or working on the mower.
• After striking a foreign object (inspect the mower for damage and make
repairs before restarting and operating the mower).
• Before clearing blockages.
• Whenever you leave the mower.
Stop the engine:
• Before refueling.
• Before dumping the grass catcher.
Allow the engine to cool before stopping the engine.
The fuel system is provided with a shut-off valve. Shut off the fuel:
• When the machine will not be used for a few days.
• During transport to and from the job.
• When parked inside a building.
This mower was designed for one operator only. Keep all others away from
mower during operation.
Do Not mow without the discharge chute in place.
If jump starting is required:
a) connect the positive (+) power cable from the positive post on the booster
battery to the positive terminal post on the starter solenoid switch (this post
has the positive battery cable attached to it).
b) connect the negative or ground cable (-) from the negative post on the
booster battery to the engine block as far away from the battery as possible.
c) disconnect battery cables in the reverse order after starting.
For engine maintenance, follow the engine manufacturer's recommendations
precisely as stated in the engine manual.
When making adjustments while the engine is running, such as carburetor and
motion control linkage adjustments, stand to one side and keep clear of
moving/rotating components, such as engine screen, drive belts and sheaves.
Do Not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry that could get tangled in
moving/rotating components.
