OWING TIPS
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires,
and other objects that could damage the lawn mower
blades or motor. Do not mow over property stakes or
other metal posts. Such objects could be accidentally
thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of
the total length of the grass.
Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of
the deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of
grass clippings.
New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a
higher cutting height.
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris.
When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to
allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge
of the clippings.
English (Original Instructions)
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blades to complete
stop, and remove the isolator key before cleanin
underneath the mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fal
accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation on
slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a
slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to
mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, never up and dow
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction o
slopes.
■ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bump
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hid
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tre
limbs, etc., which could be tripped over or thrown b
the blade.
■ Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall ca
cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losin
your balance, release the power lever immediately.
