IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property stakes, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall
accident.
 Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
 Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
 Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material
toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction,
which may cause the material to ricochet back toward
the operator.
 Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident. Walk,
never run.
 Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may block your view.
 Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely nec-
essary. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid tripping
or pulling the mower over your feet.
 Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material
may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade
when crossing gravel surfaces.
 Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe
injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully
examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing.
 If the lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these
steps:
• Stop the lawn mower by releasing the blade control
lever and wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop.
• Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage.
• Replace the blade if it is damaged in any way. Repair
any damage before restarting and continuing to operate
the mower.
 Stop the engine and wait until the blade comes to a com-
plete stop before unclogging the side or rear discharge
areas. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any part
of the body in the blade area until you are sure the blade
has stopped rotating.
 If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Replace
the blade if it is unevenly worn or damaged in any way.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
 Service on the product must be performed by qualified
repair personnel only. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result in injury to the user
or damage to the product.
 The grass catcher assembly is subject to deterioration
and wear and should be checked each time the mower is
used. If replacement is needed, make sure the new grass
catcher meets original manufacturer's recommendations
and specifications.
 Use only recommended or equivalent replacement parts
when servicing the product. Use identical replacement
blades only. Use of any other parts may create a risk of
serious injury to the user, or damage to the product.
 Maintain or replace safety instructions labels, as neces-
sary.
 Disconnect spark plug wire before storing, servicing, or
changing accessories such as blades. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool ac-
cidentally.
 Stop the unit when not in use. Carry or push the unit with
the engine stopped.
 Store idle lawn mower indoors — When not in use, mower
should be stored indoors in a dry, locked place out of the
reach of children.
 Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories.
 Only allow responsible adults who are familiar with the
instructions to operate this machine.
 Do not start or operate the engine in a confined space,
building, near open windows, or in other unventilated
space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and
extremely dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness
or death.
 Never tamper with safety devices. Check for proper op-
eration regularly.
 It has been reported that vibrations from gasoline pow-
ered tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may include
tingling, numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually
apparent upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, ex-
posure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. It is presently unknown what, if any,
vibrations or extent of exposure may contribute to the
condition. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
a) Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep hands and wrists warm.
It is reported that cold weather is a major factor con-
tributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
b) After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
c) Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of expo-
sure per day.
d) Keep the tool well maintained, fasteners tightened,
and worn parts replaced.
