WARNING

Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

GENERAL OPERATION:

Read, understand, and follow all instructions in this manual and on the mower before starting.

Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the mower.

Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.

Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop mower if anyone enters the area.

Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point it at anyone. Mower blades can throw rocks or other debris.

Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or the deflector in place. This will decrease the possibility of injury from objects being thrown by the mower blades.

Never carry passengers. They may fall off and become seriously injured or interfere with safe operation of the mower.

Mowing in reverse is not recommended because it is difficult to maintain a clear vision of the mowing path. However, should it become necessary to back up, remember to look down and behind before and while backing.
