BEFORE OPERATION

Check the General Condition of the Lawn Mower:

Look around and underneath the lawn mower for signs of oil or gasoline leaks.

Look for signs of damage.

Check each control for proper operation.

Check the blades for wear. Replace as necessary (page 32). Check that the blade bolts are tight (page 33).

Check that all nuts, bolts, screws are tightened.

Check the Engine

Check the air cleaner (page 36) and oil level (page 35).

Check the fuel level (page 40). Starting with a full tank will help to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.

CHECK YOUR WORK AREA

For your safety and the safety of others, always inspect the area before operating the lawn mower.

Objects

Anything which can be picked up by the blade and thrown is a potential hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks, nails, and wire, and remove them from the work area.

People and Pets

People and animals near the work area can move into your lawn mower’s path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects. Clear the area of people, especially children and pets. Their safety is your responsibility.

Work Area

Check the condition of the grass. Adjust your lawn mower ground speed and mowing swath accordingly.
