IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
8.
Do not force mower. It will do the job
better and with less likelihood of a risk
of injury at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
9.
Do not abuse power cord. Never carry
mower or battery charger by power cord.
Never yank cord to disconnect from re-
ceptacle. Keep power cord from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
10. Before starting mower, make sure blades
are not touching anything.
11. Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge
opening at all times.
12. 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 sur-
faces.
13. Release bail handle to turn mower off
when crossing gravel drives, walks, or
roads.
14. If mower stalls, be sure to release bail
handle to turn mower off and wait for
blade to stop. Remove key and unplug the
cord before attempting to unclog the chute
or remove anything from under the deck.
15. After striking a foreign object, release
bail handle to turn mower off and wait for
blade to stop. Remove key and unplug the
cord. Thoroughly inspect the mower for
any damage and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the mower.

abnormally, release bail handle to turn
mower off and wait for blade to stop.

18. Shut the mower off, remove the key, and
wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop before removing the grass catcher.
Under normal usage, the catcher assem-
bly is subject to deterioration and wear;
therefore, the catcher assembly should
be frequently examined. An excessively
worn catcher assembly should be re-
placed. Ensure that any catcher assembly
replacement is in compliance with original
Remington recommemdations and speci-
fi cations.

and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not mow
excessively steep slopes.

pulling mower toward you.

absolutely necessary. Always look down
and behind you before and while moving
backward.
22. Never operate mower without proper
guards, plates, or other safety protection
devices in place.
