SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND DECALS
This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this
manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that
follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury.
Read this manual completely. This machine is capable of amputating hands and
feet, and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could
result in serious injury or death.
•
Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely.
•
Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact
the spark plug, to prevent accidentally starting the engine when setting up,
transporting, adjusting or making repairs.
•
Keep all shields and guards in place.
•
Understand the speed, steering and stability of this machine. Know the positions
and operations of all controls before you operate this machine. Check all of the
controls in a safe area before starting to work with this machine.
•
Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with these instructions to operate
this machine. Never allow children to operate this machine.
•
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. that can be picked up and
thrown by the blade.
•
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Be aware of the mower
discharge direction and do not point at anyone. Stop the machine if anyone enters
the mowing area. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing
activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
Keep children under the watchful care of another responsible adult.
•
No riders!
•
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
•
Do not mow in reverse. Always look down and behind before and while backing.
•
Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off the
blades and stop the engine.
•
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.

•
Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off the
blades and stop the engine.
•
•
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
Do not operate the mower if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or if
the mower vibrates excessively. Excessive vibration is an indication of damage.
Repair mower as necessary.
•
Dress properly. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open
sandals. Wear only solid shoes with good traction when mowing.
•
•
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Operate self-propelled machines up and down slopes. There is significant risk of
overturns when operating across slopes. Operate walk-behind machines across
slopes. There is a significant risk of slipping under a walk-behind machine when
operating up and down slopes.
•
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary,
before restarting.
•
•
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use
extra caution when servicing them.

OPERATING YOUR NEW CUTTER
The operation of any cutter can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the
eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-
vision safety goggles before starting any cutting machine and while operating such
a machine.
The operation of any cutter produces sound waves that are damaging to the
human ear. Ear protection is recommended.
CAUTION!
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of
children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing
activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
