Safe Operation Practices for Walk–Behind Mowers.  
This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to ob-  
serve the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.  
tion which can cause drowsiness or affect  
your ability to operate this machine safely.  
I. General Operation  
1. Read, understand, and follow all instruc-  
tions on the machine and in the manual(s).  
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and  
the proper use of the mower before starting.  
15. Never operate mower in wet grass. Always  
be sure of your footing; keep a firm hold on  
the handle and walk; never run.  
16. Disengage the self–propelled mechanism  
or drive clutch on mowers so equipped be-  
fore starting the engine (motor).  
2. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotat-  
ing parts. Keep clear of the discharge open-  
ing at all times.  
17. If the equipment should start to vibrate ab-  
normally, stop the engine (motor) and check  
immediately for the cause. Vibration is gen-  
erally a warning of trouble such as a blade  
that is damaged, a loose blade, or the en-  
gine mounting bolts are loose.  
3. Only allow responsible individuals, who are  
familiar with the instructions, to operate the  
mower.  
4. Thoroughly inspect the mower and area  
where the equipment is to be used. Clear  
the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,  
bones, sticks etc., which could be picked up  
and thrown by the blade.  
18. Always wear safety goggles or safety  
glasses with side shields when operating  
mower to protect your eyes from foreign ob-  
jects which can be thrown from the unit.  
5. Be sure the area is clear of other people be-  
fore mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters  
the area.  
19. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid dis-  
charge of material toward roads, sidewalks,  
bystanders and the like.  
6. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or  
wearing open sandals. Always wear sub-  
stantial foot wear.  
20. After striking a foreign object, stop the en-  
gine. Remove the wire from the spark plug.  
Inspect the blade and mower for damage. If  
damaged, repair before starting and operat-  
ing the mower.  
7. Do not pull mower backwards unless abso-  
lutely necessary. Look down and behind be-  
fore and while moving backwards.  
21. Keep any washout ports and other mower  
housing service openings closed when  
mowing.  
8. Do not operate the mower without proper  
guards, plates, grass catcher or other safety  
protective devices in place.  
II. Slope Operation  
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall  
accidents which can result in severe injury. All  
slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy  
on a slope, do not mow it.  
9. See manufacturer’s instructions for proper  
operation and installation of accessories.  
Only use accessories approved by the  
manufacturer.  
DO:  
10. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel  
drives, walks, or roads.  
Mow across the face of slopes; never up  
and down. Do not mow excessively steep  
slopes (maximum 15 degrees) or areas  
where the ground is very rough. See the  
“Guide” in the back of this manual to check  
a slope. Exercise extreme caution when  
changing direction on slopes.  
11. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you  
leave the equipment, before cleaning the  
mower or unclogging the chute.  
12. Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until the  
blade comes to complete stop before re-  
moving grass catcher.  
Remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs,  
etc.  
13. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.  
14. Do not operate the mower while under the  
influence of alcohol, drugs or other medica-

you make adjustments or repairs.  
bankments. The operator could lose footing  
or balance.  
4. Keep all nuts and bolts, especially blade at-  
tachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in  
good condition.  
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.  
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing  
could cause slipping.  
5. Never tamper with safety devices. Check  
their proper operation regularly.  
III. Children  
6. To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of  
grass, leaves, or other debris build–up.  
Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to  
cool before storing.  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not  
alert to the presence of children. Children are  
often attracted to the mower and the mowing  
activity. Never assume that children will remain  
where you last saw them.  
7. Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike  
an object. Repair, if necessary, before re-  
starting.  
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and  
under the watchful care of a responsible  
adult.  
8. Never attempt to make wheel height adjust-  
ments while the engine (motor) is running.  
2. Be alert and turn mower off if children enter  
the area.  
9. Always disconnect electric mowers (live op-  
erated) before cleaning, repairing, or ad-  
justing.  
3. Before and while moving backwards, look  
behind and down for small children.  
4. Never allow children to operate the mower.  
10. Grass catcher components are subject to  
wear, damage, and deterioration, which  
could expose moving parts or allow objects  
to be thrown. Frequently check components  
and replace with manufacturer’s recom-  
mended parts, when necessary. For stor-  
age, always make sure grass catcher is  
empty.  
5. Use extra care when approaching blind cor-  
ners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that  
may obscure vision.  
IV. Service  
*1. Use extra care in handling gasoline and oth-  
er fuels. They are flammable and vapors are  
explosive.  
11. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap  
the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra  
caution when servicing them.  
a. Use only an approved container.  
b. Never remove gas cap or add fuel with 12. Do not change the engine governor setting  
the engine running. Allow engine to cool  
before refueling. Do not smoke.  
or over–speed the engine.  
13. Frequently check the blade for wear or dam-  
ages such as cracks and nicks. A blade that  
is bent or damaged must be immediately re-  
placed with a factory replacement blade.  
For safety and good cutting performance,  
replace the blade every two years. Fre-  
quently check the blade bolt and the engine  
mounting bolts. Replace damaged bolts  
and tighten loose bolts.  
c. Never refuel the machine indoors.  
d. Never store the machine or fuel contain-  
er inside where there is an open flame,  
such as a water heater.  
*2. Never run an engine indoors or inside a  
closed area.

SAFE MOWING GUIDE  
Every person who uses power equipment  
gency. Learn how to cut and how to keep con-  
trol of the mower at all times.  
Many mowers are started manually. When us-  
ing a pull start or rope start, place your feet  
firmly and away from the blade. Hold the rope  
handle securely, but never wrap the rope  
around your arm or fingers for a “better grip”.  
The mower is designed for use by one person.  
Always mow alone. Never carry passengers.  
Carrying a passenger is dangerous for the  
passenger and the operator. A mower is not for  
amusement or for carrying objects.  
must learn the difference between proper and  
improper use, safe and unsafe mowing prac-  
tices. Read the next few pages carefully.  
They can help you learn. Too often the mow-  
er user is inexperienced, not properly in-  
structed, or has not read the Instruction Book  
and instructions on the unit before using it for  
the first time. This can result in unsafe use en-  
dangering the operator, bystanders, and the  
equipment. Another result can be a poor ap-  
pearance of the area mowed.  
Read this Instruction Book. Read the in-  
structions on the unit. Operate the mower ac-  
cording to the Safe Mowing Guide and other  
safety rules and recommendations in this In-  
struction Book and on the unit. Make sure any-  
one who uses the unit has read the instructions  
and has been told how to operate the mower  
safely.  
Is the area you are planning to mow wet? Nev-  
er cut a wet lawn. Cutting wet grass can cause  
an accident. It can affect mower performance  
and also cause problems with future lawn  
growth and appearance. Wet grass is slippery  
and might cause the operator to fall or the  
mower to slip. Someone could be hurt by  
touching the blade. Wet grass tends to clog the  
mower, causing poor discharge. Wet clippings  
bunch up on the lawn retarding the growth of  
grass. A wet mower can cause parts to rust  
and reduce the useful life of the unit.  
Your mower is designed to provide good ser-  
vice and durability in normal residential cut-  
ting. If the mower is not properly serviced and  
maintained or used on unsuitable terrain or in  
conditions not suitable for mowing, product  
performance and safety will be reduced.  
Proper attire is an important part of safe mow-  
ing. Safety glasses protect the eyes from  
thrown objects. Safety shoes with steel toes  
can protect a foot from being cut by the blade.  
Shirts and pants that cover the arms and legs  
can stop or deflect a thrown object.  
When you look over the lawn, refresh your  
memory about hard, immovable obstacles  
such as pipes, stumps, and rocks and avoid  
them. They can cause damage to the mower  
or an accident injuring the operator or a by-  
stander. Take a litter bag along and walk over  
the area to be cut. Pick up any stones, toys,  
wire, bones, or other loose objects. These  
items can damage the mower or they can be-  
come dangerous flying objects if the mower  
blade hits them. The blade of a power mower  
travels very fast. It can throw rocks and other  
objects with force over long distances. Objects  
thrown by mowers can break windows, cause  
Practice using the mower before you actually  
begin cutting grass. Select a large open level  
area. Learn the location and function of the  
controls and how they work. It is important that  
the blade can be stopped quickly in an emer-

bruises, or even put out an eye. Often the per-  
improve the performance, help the engine stay  
cooler, extend the life of moving parts, and  
minimize the danger of fire. People get burned  
working with and around their mowers for oth-  
er reasons than fire and explosions. It takes  
only a few seconds of operation for the engine  
and the muffler to become hot. Do not touch  
these parts when the mower is running. Stop  
the engine and let it cool down before servicing  
the mower. Remember, exhaust fumes can be  
dangerous. Never operate the engine indoors  
or in an enclosed area.  
son hurt by a thrown object is a bystander such  
as a child, another family member or a neigh-  
bor. Keep people and pets completely away  
from the mowing area. Direct the mower’s dis-  
charge away from areas where people can be.  
Planning your mowing pattern has a double  
benefit. It can reduce chances of an injury and  
make the clean up after mowing easier.  
Are there ditches,  
walls, or major in-  
clines in the area to be  
cut? Plan the mowing  
pattern to avoid such  
danger areas. In-  
clines and rough ter-  
rain must be mowed  
carefully and some  
areas must not be cut  
with a mower at all.  
With walk behind  
equipment,  
mow  
across the incline so  
that if you or the mow-  
er slip, you won’t run  
into each other.  
Never mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.  
See the “Guide” in the back of this Instruction  
Book to check any slopes.  
Getting a new mower can be a big event for a  
family. Let family members satisfy their curios-  
ity about the mower and at the same time, tell  
them about its dangers. Remember, a mower  
is not a toy and is not for use by children or any-  
one lacking in age, strength or experience.  
As with any power equipment, a mower can be  
dangerous if not assembled, misused, or not  
properly maintained. The most important rule  
is to always use good judgement and common  
sense.  
Your mower will cut thick grass and heavy  
plant stems with ease. Fingers and toes are no  
more resistant to the mower’s blade. Many  
people are injured because they “forgot” and  
reached into the discharge chute. Always treat  
your lawn mower as if the blade is rotating.  
Never perform any service or try to make any  
adjustment,except carburetor, while the en-  
gine is running.  
Ready to start cutting? Not yet. Be sure the  
mower has been fully assembled according to  
directions in the Instruction Book. Even if as-  
sembly was done by a lawn and garden shop  
or the store where the unit was purchased, it  
must be checked. Are all nuts, bolts and  
screws tight? Does the engine have oil? These  
items must be checked periodically throughout  
the life of the mower.  
Your mower has a gasoline engine. Gas is  
dangerous. Store fuel only in a approved gas  
container. Do not store large amounts of gas.  
Put out all cigarettes, pipes and cigars before  
working with gasoline. Store fuel and the mow-  
er itself in a well ventilated area away from any  
possible source of ignition such a pilot light on  
a furnace. If the mower is to be stored for an ex-  
tended time, remove the gas from the tank.  
This minimizes the chance of a fire and keeps  
the tank clear of deposits and old gasoline,  
thus improving mower performance. Move the  
mower outside before adding gasoline. Use a  
funnel and wipe up any spilled fuel before start-  
ing. Remember, gasoline expands when  
heated so leave some expansion room. Also,  
most mower gas caps are vented to allow for  
expansion. Always use the proper cap. People  
are needlessly burned by fires, hurt in explo-  
sions, mowers and other property are dam-  
aged because of failure to follow basic safety  
rules related to gasoline and fueling.  
Use only accessories suited for your mower.  
Use of improper accessories can reduce the  
safety designed into both the mower and the  
accessory, it can even damage the unit. Read  
and follow the instructions which come with the  
accessory and the mower.  
Never add gasoline to an engine that is running  
or that is hot from recent use, this can cause an  
accident. Remove dry grass and other debris  
from the mower. Keeping the mower clean will

seek shelter in an electrical storm. In extreme-  
ly dry mowing conditions, your safety glasses

eyes from dust and thrown objects, also a dust  
or pollen mask can be helpful.  
stitutions as service parts. If you need profes-  
sional service, select a shop that is an  
Authorized Service Center for your brand of  
mower. If you plan to service the unit yourself,  
follow directions in the Instruction Book.  
Your mower is equipped with a number of safe-  
ty features which are important to the safety of  
the operator and bystanders and must never  
be altered or removed. If a safety feature be-  
comes inoperable, lost, or damaged, it must be  
repaired or replaced before the mower is used.  
Engine speed is a key to safe mowing and a  
nice looking lawn. The maximum speed of the  
engine on your mower has been set at the fac-  
tory. Do not change the engine governor in any  
way.  
Select the maximum engine and ground speed  
that is right for the terrain and the height of  
grass. You get the best cutting and bagging  
performance when using a grass catcher by  
operating the engine at maximum speed. Nev-  
er walk fast or run just to get the job done soon-  
er. On inclines, reduce ground speed and  
exercise extreme care.  
As you mow, remember children and pets are  
sometimes attracted to the activity. Be espe-  
cially careful when trimming around shrubbery  
or when backing up. If at all possible, don’t  
mow when moving backwards. It is dangerous  
because vision is restricted. Also, blades are  
designed to cut while the unit is moving for-  
ward so cutting performance is reduced when  
mowing in reverse.  
Never leave the mower running and unat-  
tended. Shut off the engine. Put the mower in  
a position so that it can not roll. If the unit is  
self–propelled, make sure the drive control is  
disengaged.  
It is best to mow only during daylight hours;  
however, if you must mow in the late afternoon  
or evening, make sure there is good artificial  
light.  
Your mower will require maintenance including  
service and adjustments before and after use  
as with any machine. The frequency of the  
maintenance is generally based on hours of  
use, however, the frequency can vary because  
of mowing conditions. Check the Instruction  
Book for more detailed instructions. Proper  
maintenance protects your investment in the  
mower and helps insure that it will function  
safely and reliably.  
Never attempt any  
service (with the pos-  
sible exception of car-  
buretor adjustment)  
with the engine run-  
ning. After turning the  
engine off, always  
disconnect the spark  
plug wire to prevent  
accidental restarting  
while the unit is being  
serviced.  
When mowing, be aware of your condition and  
the weather conditions. After mowing a long  
time, you will be tired. This is the time when  
reactions slow down, your attention wanders;  
the time when you are wide open for an acci-  
dent. Take a short break. If temperatures are  
high, take precautions to avoid becoming de-  
hydrated. If you are angry, tired, or unable to  
give your full attention to mowing, if you have  
been consuming alcohol, medicines, or drugs,  
do not use your mower or any type of power  
equipment.  
If weather conditions become worse while you  
are cutting, stop and finish later. Cutting grass

SAFE MOWING GUIDE  
While mowing, if you hit a foreign object, stop

bagging, slower ground speed will provide the  
best results.  
the engine. Remove the spark plug wire. Care-  
fully and thoroughly inspect the mower for  
damage. Make necessary repairs before re-  
starting. If the unit starts to vibrate abnormally,  
stop the engine immediately and check for the  
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of  
trouble. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight.  
Change the mowing pattern slightly each time  
you cut. If you always cut the same way, the  
grass will develop a “set” and clippings will ac-  
cumulate more heavily in some areas more  
than in others causing grass to get thinner in  
those areas. Do not service your mower over  
the grass. Spilled oil and gas can kill the grass.  
In tall grass or very heavy grass, do not try to  
cut it all at once. Raise the height of cut on the  
first cutting and lower it for the next cutting the  
same day or within a few days. Another way is  
to cut only part of the width of the mower and  
adjust your ground speed (not the engine) to  
move more slowly so the mower can clear it-  
self as it moves forward.  
The blade is the most dangerous part of the  
mower and also the most important part in ob-  
taining a nice lawn appearance. Check the  
blade and the blade mounting hardware fre-  
quently. Keep it tight. If the blade hits a solid  
object, check it thoroughly for deformation or  
cracks and replace if damaged. For safety,re-  
place the blade every two years. A sharp blade  
reduces the work load on the engine and cuts  
grass more cleanly, for a better looking cut with  
less work. The blade is always close to the out-  
side of the mower housing. For best trimming  
on side discharge mowers, cut with the left  
side of the housing toward the area that needs  
trimming.  
A useful accessory for your mower is a grass  
catcher. There are grass catchers available for  
most models. For best performance and safe-  
ty, be sure the grass catcher is approved for  
use with your mower. Assemble as directed  
and follow operating and safety instructions  
with the catcher and in the Instruction Book.  
Before mounting, checking or emptying the  
grass catcher, always turn the engine off. Re-  
member to check the grass catcher before  
each use for cracks, wear, or deterioration. Re-  
place any part that is damaged with the man-  
ufacturer’s recommended replacement part  
before using the grass catcher again.  
When cutting with a walk behind mower, al-  
ways push the unit. Do not pull it. Pushing the  
unit keeps the operator behind the mower in  
the “operator’s zone” for better control. Push-  
ing the unit also gives you a chance to see ex-  
actly where and what you are mowing. There  
will be times while you are mowing that you will  
have to pull the mower backwards (such as  
when the front of the mower has come up  
against a wall or fence). If you must back up,  
make sure your feet are in the clear. Stand well  
back from the mower, plant your feet firmly with  
each step and back up being careful to look be-  
hind you. Resume normal mowing as soon as  
possible.  
If your unit is self–propelled, remember that  
the drive mechanism is not designed to do all  
the work, but the unit can move without your  
help. Always keep your hands on the handle  
near the controls when the engine is running.  
Remember too that the self–propelled mecha-  
nism can be dangerous. Keep hands and feet  
away from belts and chains. Always turn off the  
engine before attempting to remove anything  
that becomes entangled in the self–propelled  
system.  
Remember, your mower is a useful tool, but it  
can be dangerous. Follow the instructions in  
this Instruction Book. Use the mower properly  
and carefully and it will give you many hours of  
trouble free, accident free operations.  
Proper cutting technique is important if you  
want your lawn to look good. Avoid the tempta-  
tion to cut grass too short. Cutting grass too  
short can kill the plant, cause grass to turn yel-  
low, or make the lawn look brown and thatchy.  
Use the lower cutting heights in cool months  
when the grass is lush. Use the higher cutting
