Mower Operation (continued)
1. Starting
b. Move the throttle control back to the start
position, pivot the engine stop lever against the
handle and grasp with your left hand.
c. Place your foot on the deck and tilt the unit
towards you while pulling the recoil starter.
After the engine has started, carefully move behind the
unit while continuing to grip the engine stop lever against
the handle and adjusting your grip using both hands.
Always maintain a firm grip on the handle and
engine stop lever and keep the unit in front of you. If
mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check for the cause. Vibration is
generally a sign of trouble.

2. Mowing
Always use both hands when operating the unit.
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall
accidents, which can result in severe injury.
Operation on all slopes require extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a
slip and fall accident. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall
accident.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. You could lose your footing or
balance.
When cutting steep slopes from the top of the
slope and a longer reach is needed, never tie
the unit to a rope, use the extended handlebar
kit option (order #4012561).
If striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove
wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect mower for
damage. Repair damage before restarting engine.
Watch out for traffic when working near roadways.
For best performance, install new blades before the
cutting season begins. Replace the blades when
necessary with California Trimmer Air Cushion
Hover Mower replacement blades.
