SAFETY MESSAGES

Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have
provided important safety messages in this manual and on the lawn
mower. Please read these messages carefully.
A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that can hurt you
and others. Each safety message is preceded by a safety alert
symbol a and one of three words: DANGER, WARNING, or
CAUTION.
These mean:
You WILL be KILLED or
SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t
follow instructions.
You CAN be KILLED or
SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t
follow instructions.
You CAN be HURT if you don’t
follow instructions.
Each message tells you what the hazard is, what can happen, and
what you can do to avoid or reduce injury.

DAMAGE PREVENTION MESSAGES

You will also see other important messages that are preceded by the
word NOTICE.
This word means:
1 NOTICE 1 Your lawn mower or other property can be
damaged if you don’t follow instructions.
The purpose of these messages is to help prevent damage to your
