EGO LM2000E Power+ Mower Operating Manual page 9

◾ ◾
Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction first look down and behind to avoid tripping and then following these steps:
◾ ◾
Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
◾ ◾
Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
◾ ◾
Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way toward you.
◾ ◾
Repeat these steps as needed.
◾ ◾
Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
◾ ◾
Never operate the appliance with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/
or grass catchers, in place.
◾ ◾
Stay alert – watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired.
◾ ◾
The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
safety device inoperative and may result in personal injury through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade
control handle must operate easily in both directions and automatically return to the disengaged position when
released.
◾ ◾
Avoid dangerous environments – Don't use lawn mowers in damp or wet locations.
◾ ◾
Don't use in rain.
◾ ◾
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
footing, release the motor/blade control handle immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
◾ ◾
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never run while operating.
◾ ◾
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
◾ ◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
◾ ◾
Inspect for damage;
◾ ◾
Replace or repair any damaged parts;
◾ ◾
Check for and tighten any loose parts.
◾ ◾
Stop the mower, and remove the disabling device. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
◾ ◾
Whenever you leave the machine;
◾ ◾
Before clearing a blockage;
◾ ◾
Before checking, cleaning or working on the appliance;
◾ ◾
After striking a foreign object. Inspect the appliance for damage and make repairs as before restarting and
operating the machine;
◾ ◾
If the appliance starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).
◾ ◾
Never operate the mower without the proper trailing shield, discharge cover, grass bag, mulching insert, side
discharge chute, motor/blade control handle or other safety protective devices in place and working. Never operate
the mower with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
