PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE YOUR

TRAINING
1. Read the operating and maintenance man-
uals carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
Know how to stop the mower and disengage
the controls quickly in an emergency.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with these instructions to operate the mower.
3. Keep the area of operation clear of all per-
sons, particularly small children and pets.
PREPARATION
1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
4
4
stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign
objects before mowing. They could be thrown
by the blade.
3
2. Do not operate the equipment when bare-
4
foot or wearing open sandals. Always wear
5
substantial footwear and long trousers. It is
5
advisable to wear suitable eye protection.
6
3. Check the fuel before starting the engine.
6
Do not smoke while fuelling the engine. Do
7
not fill the fuel tank indoors, never remove the
fuel cap off the fuel tank or add fuel when the
7
engine is running or until it has been allowed
7
to cool for several minutes after running.
7
Clean off any spilled fuel before starting the
8

5. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light,
and always keep children away from the
9
mowing area.
10
6. Never operate the equipment in wet grass.
10
Always be sure of your footing; keep a firm
10
hold on the handle and walk; never run.
Never walk backwards while cutting grass.
OPERATION
1. Disengage all blade and drive controls
before starting the engine.
2. Do not tilt the mower when starting the
engine.
3. Start the engine carefully with feet well
away from the blades.
4. Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. Always keep clear of the blade
and discharge opening.
5. Do not change the engine governor set-
tings or over-speed the engine. Excessive
speed is dangerous and shortens mower life.
6 Stop the engine when crossing gravel dri-
ves, walks or roads.
7. Don't mow over heavy or solid objects as
striking them with the blade can cause seri-
ous damage to the engine and will void your
warranty.
8. After striking a foreign object, stop the
engine, remove the wire from the spark plug,
thoroughly inspect the mower for any dam-
age, and repair the damage before restarting
and operating the mower.
9. If the mower should start to vibrate abnor-
mally, stop the engine, disconnect the spark
plug wire, and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
10. Stop the engine whenever you leave the
mower, even for a moment, before cleaning
the mower housing, and when making any
repairs or inspections.
11. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting,
make certain the blade and all moving parts
have stopped and that the engine has had
time to cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire,
and keep the wire away from the plug to pre-
vent accidental starting.
12. Do not run the engine indoors. Lethal
exhaust gases can be produced.
13. Shut the engine off and wait until the
blade comes to a complete stop before
removing the grasscatcher or un-clogging the
chute.
14. Mow across the face of slopes; never up
and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow
excessively steep slopes.
15. Never operate the mower without proper
guards, deflectors provided by the manufac-
turer, or other safety devices in place.
16. Never pick up or carry a mower when it is
operating.
17. Turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mow-
ing and reduce the throttle setting during
runout.
MAINTENANCE
1. Before using, check the blade(s) and
blade bolt(s) for wear and damage.
Replace worn or damaged blades and
bolts in sets to preserve the balance.
DAMAGED BLADES AND WORN BOLTS
ARE MAJOR HAZARDS.
2. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to
be sure the mower is in safe working con-
dition.
3. Never store the mower with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an
open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
4. Store fuel in an approved container safely
out of the reach of children in a cool, well ven-
tilated place.
5. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free
of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
6. Check the catcher bag frequently for deteri-
oration and wear, and replace worn bags.
Check that replacement bags comply with the
original manufacturer's recommendations or
specifications.
STORING THE MOWER
The handle can be folded to minimise space
requirements.
CAUTION
Check that the control cables are not being
strained while folding and unfolding the handle.
Permanent kinks will make the controls difficult to
operate.
Tipping the Mower SAFELY for
Storage.
CAUTION
CAUTION
