After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, and thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower.

Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing blades.

Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.

Engine components become hot during operation and can cause a burn. Allow to cool down before touching.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds are dangerous.

Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper disposal of fluids and materials can harm the environment and the ecology.

Prior to disposal, determine the proper method to dispose of waste from your local Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling centers are established to properly dispose of materials in an environmentally safe fashion.

Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do not use food or beverage containers that may mislead someone into drinking from them. Properly dispose of the containers immediately following the draining of fluids.

DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground, down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or other body of water. Observe Environmental Protection Agency regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries, tires and other harmful waste.

We do not recommend the use of a pressure washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electrical components; spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
