DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦If the discharge door does not close completely, the lawn mower could throw objects.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦Thrown objects can result serious personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦If you cannot close the door because the grass clippings clog the discharge area, stop the engine and gently move the discharge door handle back and forth until you can close the door completely. If you still cannot close the door, remove the obstruction with a stick, not your hand.
