SAFETY RULES
I. GENERAL OPERATION
keep a firm hold on the handle and
walk; never run.
• Read, understand, and follow all
instructions on the machine and in the
manual(s) before starting. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the machine before starting.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. Keep clear of the dis-
charge opening at all times.
• Only allow responsible adults, who are
familiar with the instructions, to operate
the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks,
toys, wire, sticks, etc., which could be
picked up and thrown by the blade.
Stay behind the handle when the motor
is running.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people
before mowing. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
• Do not operate the mower when bare-
foot or wearing open sandals. Always
wear substantial foot wear.
• Do not pull mower backwards unless
absolutely necessary. Always look down
and behind before and while moving
backwards.
• Never direct discharged material toward
anyone. Avoid discharging material
against a wall or obstruction. Material
may ricochet back toward the operator.
Stop the blade when crossing gravel
surfaces.
• Do not operate the mower without the
entire grasscatcher, discharge guard,
rear guard or other safety protective
devices in place and working.
• Never leave a running machine unat-
tended.
• See manufacturer’s instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories. Only use accessories ap-
proved by the manufacturer.
• Stop the motor when crossing gravel
drives, walks, or roads.
• Stop the motor whenever you leave the
equipment, before cleaning the mower
or unclogging the chute.
• Shut the motor off and wait until the
blade comes to complete stop before
removing grass catcher.
• Disengage the self-propelled mecha-
nism on mowers so equipped before
starting the motor.
• If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the motor and check
immediately for the cause.
• Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
• Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields when operat-
ing mower.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip
and fall accidents which can result in
severe injury. All slopes require extra cau-
tion. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
mow it.
DO:
• Mow across the face of slopes: never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The operator could lose
footing or balance.
• Do not cut excessively steep slopes.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced
footing could cause slipping.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is
notalerttothepresenceofchildren.Children
are often attracted to the machine and the
mowingactivity. Neverassumethatchildren
will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area
and under the watchful care of another
responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children
enter the area.
• Before and while walking backwards,
look behind and down for small children.
Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.
• The mower is not a toy. It can be very
dangerous; children should not use this
mower. Only responsible adults who
have read the manual and understood
all instructions should operate this
mower.
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• Do not operate the machine while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Never operate machine in rain or on wet
grass. Always be sure of your footing:

PRE-OPERATION
POLARIZED APPLIANCE
CONNECTIONS
WARNING: This mower is for outdoor
use only. Do not expose to rain or use in
damp locations.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require the
use of a polarized extension cord.
• The appliance plug will fit into a polar-
ized extension cord only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit, obtain a correct polarized
extension cord.
• A polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This
plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If
the plug still does not fit, contact a quali-
fied electrician to install the proper wall
outlet.
• Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t
use lawn mowers in damp or wet loca-
tions.
• Don’t Use In Rain.
• Keep Children Away – All visitors should
be kept a safe distance from work area.
• Dress Properly – Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. They can be caught
in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves
and footwear is recommended when
working outdoors.
• Use Safety Glasses – Always use face
or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Use Right Appliance – Do not use lawn
mower for any job except that for which
it is intended.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
lawn mower. Receptacles are available
having built-in GFCI protection and may
be used for this measure of safety.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock
use only with an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW,
STOW, SJW, SJOW, SJTW or SJTOW.
• Extension Cord – Make sure your exten-
sion cord set is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current
you’re product will draw. An undersize
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, re-
sulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and name-
plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number the heavier the cord.
IMPORTANT: Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.

OPERATION
The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety
glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or performing any
adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide
vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER TO START
• Your lawn mower is equipped with an
operator presence control bar which
requires the operator to be positioned
behind the lawn mower handle to start
and operate the lawn mower.
CAUTION: Federal regulations require

bar to handle.
• Mower will begin to operate.
TO STOP
• To stop motor, release operator pres-
ence control bar.
Let the blade come to a complete stop.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
This mower is equipped with a circuit
breaker in order to protect the supply
circuit from short-circuit overloads.
EXTENSION CORD RETAINER
This lawn mower is equipped with a cord
retainer in order to prevent the extension
cord from disconnecting from the power
cord while the mower is in use. The cord
retainer hangs from the cord guide bar.
NOTE: Do not plug the extension cord into
the outlet until it has been connected to the
cord retainer and plugged into the mower.
• Fold the extension cord in order to form
a tight loop near the retainer.
• Push the loop through the hole in the
retainer.
• Slide the loop over the retaining clip, and
pull down until the cord is secured.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS IF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER POPS OUT:
• Release the operator presence control
bar and allow the mower to stop and
cool down for 5 minutes.
• After the mower has cooled down, press
the circuit breaker in order to reset it.
Resume operation.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS IF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER POPS OUT AGAIN
SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST TIME:
• Release the operator presence control
bar and allow the mower to stop and
cool down for 15 to 30 minutes.
• After the mower has cooled down, press
the circuit breaker in order to reset it.
Resume operation.
If the circuit breaker does not stay in, or if
it continues to pop out during operation,
contact the Toll-Free Helpline at 1-800-
849-1297.
TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT
Adjust cutting height to suit your require-
ments. Medium position is best for most
lawns. Raise wheels for low cut and lower
wheels for high cut. All four wheels are
adjusted by a single lever.
• Pull adjuster lever toward wheel. To
lower mower, move lever forward to
desired position. To raise mower, move
the lever toward the rear.

OPERATION
MOWING TIPS
CAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher
blade attachments on your mower. Such
attachments are hazardous, will damage
your mower and could void your warranty.
Height adjuster lever
• Under certain conditions, such as when
mowing very tall grass, raise the mower
height on the first cut to reduce pushing
effort, to avoid overheating the motor,
and to avoid leaving clumps of grass
clippings. Make the second cut to the
desired height.
LEVER
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut.
BACKWARD
TO RAISE
MOWER
• For side discharge operation, cut in a
counterclockwise direction, starting at
the outside of the area to be cut, in order
to spread grass clippings more evenly
and to put less load on the motor. To
keep clippings off of walkways, flower
beds, etc., make the first cuts in a clock-
wise direction.
LEVER
FORWARD
TO LOWER
MOWER
TO CONVERT MOWER
Your lawn mower was shipped ready to
be used as a mulcher. To convert to side
discharging:
• Open mulcher door and install discharge
deflector under door as shown.
• Mower is now ready for discharging
operation.
• To convert to mulching operation, dis-
charge deflector must be removed and
mulcher door must be closed.
• When using a lawn mower in moist,
heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may
not enter the grass catcher. Reduce
ground speed (pushing speed) and/or
run the lawn mower over the area a
second time.
• If a trail of grass clipping is left on the
right side of a rear discharge lawn mow-
er, mow in a clockwise direction with a
small overlap to collect the clippings on
the next pass.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
become filled with dirt and dust with use
and the catcher will collect less grass.
To prevent this, regularly hose catcher
off with water and let dry before use.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built-up grass and
trash. See "CLEANING" in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.

OPERATION
heavy grass, reduce your width of cut
by overlapping previously cut path and
mow slowly.
• The special mulching blade will recut the
grass clippings many times and reduce
them in size so that as they fall onto the
lawn they will disperse into the grass
and not be noticed. Also, the mulched
grass will biodegrade quickly to provide
nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with
your highest motor (blade) speed as this
will provide the best recutting action of
the blades.
MAX 1/3
• Certain types of grass and grass
conditions may require that an area be
mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second
cut, mow across (perpendicular) to the
first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. Mow north to south one week
then change to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting and
graining of the lawn.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower
cuts off only the top one-third of the
grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it
will be necessary to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep
from overloading the motor and leaving
clumps of mulched grass. For extremely
