MOWING PRECAUTIONS
Before operating the mower for the first time, please review chapters 1 and 2.
Even if you have operated other mowers, take the time to become familiar
with how this mower works and practice in a safe area until you build up your
skills.
For your safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area
such as a garage. Your mower's exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause illness
or death.
