IMPORTANT

DO NOT:

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or em- bankments. The operator could lose footing or balance.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.

III. Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the mower and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

1.Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.

2.Be alert and turn mower off if children enter the area.

3.Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.

4.Never allow children to operate the mower.

5.Use extra care when approaching blind cor- ners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

b.Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.

c.Never refuel the machine indoors.

d.Never store the machine or fuel contain- er inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

3.Never make adjustments or repairs to items such as the height adjusters or grass catch- er with the engine (motor) running. Discon-

nect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. Always wear eye protection when you make adjustments or repairs.

4.Keep all nuts and bolts, especially blade at- tachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.

9.Always disconnect electric mowers (live op- erated) before cleaning, repairing, or ad- justing.

10.Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recom- mended parts, when necessary. For stor- age, always make sure grass catcher is empty.

11.Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

12.Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed the engine.

13.Frequently check the blade for wear or dam- ages such as cracks and nicks. A blade that is bent or damaged must be immediately re- placed with a factory replacement blade. For safety and good cutting performance, replace the blade every two years. Fre- quently check the blade bolt and the engine mounting bolts. Replace damaged bolts and tighten loose bolts.

14.Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts.
