IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Do not operate the equipment while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
■ Use lawn mower for the correct purpose. Do not use lawn mower for any job except that for which it
is intended.
OPERATION
■ Only operate the equipment in daylight or good artificial light.
■ Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition prior to operating the lawn
mower.
■ Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Uneven terrain could overturn the
equipment, or cause the operator to lose their balance or footing.
■ Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the lawn mower. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
■ Always wear safety glasses with side shields that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard.
Regular glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use face mask if operation is dusty.
■ Do not leave a running lawn mower unattended.
■ Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while
backing.
■ Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
■ If the equipment vibrates abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
■ Stop the motor and disconnect the battery when the mower is not in use, before cleaning the mower
housing, and before making any repairs or inspections.
■ Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass
collection bag or before unclogging the chute.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively on steep slopes.
■ Always keep the equipment in gear when going down slopes. Do not coast downhill.
■ Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction. Make
turns slowly and gradually.
■ Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the lawn mower and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where
you last saw them.
■ Keep children out of the operating area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other
than the operator.
■ Do not force the lawn mower. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
■ Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate lawn mower when you
are tired.
■ Avoid mowing wet grass. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
■ Use extra care while operating the equipment with a grass collection bag or other attachment(s).
They can affect the stability of the machine.
■ Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires,
bones, and other foreign objects.
■ Never attempt to make a wheel height adjustment while the motor is running.
