7. Do not operate the mower under any conditions where
traction or stability is in question. Always be sure of your
footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If
you feel you are losing your balance or footing, release the
blade control handle immediately and the blade will stop
rotating within three (3) seconds.
8. Stay at least 3 feet (1 meter) from drop-offs, ditches,
embankments or the edge of water. You could lose your
balance or footing.
SLOPE GAUGE (BACK COVER)
WARNING
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on the slope,
do not mow it. Do not mow on slopes greater than 15
degrees (25%). Only mow across slopes, never mow up
and down slopes.
USE THE SLOPE GAUGE ON THE BACK COVER AS SHOWN TO
DETERMINE IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Open manual to page and fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole,
building, fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object.
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the
slope.
5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for
safe operation.
SERVICE
1. Keep the mower in good working order. Replace worn or
damaged parts.
2. Mower blades are sharp and can cut, wrap the blade or wear
gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.
3. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
blade and all moving parts have stopped. Remove the push
start safety key to prevent accidental starting.
4. Ensure the blade comes to a complete stop within (3) three
seconds after operating the blade control. If the blade does
not stop in less than three seconds, your mower must be
serviced professionally by an authorized service dealer.
Check for proper operation per the Service and Maintenance
section.
5. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.
6. Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent
intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade for
damage (e.g., bent, cracked, and worn). Replace blade with
the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) blade only.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
7. Use of service parts which do not meet the original
equipment specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety.
8. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition. Check all hardware
for tightness per the Service and Maintenance section.
9. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor. Thoroughly
inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage
before starting and operating
10. Never attempt to make wheel cutting height adjustments or
repairs to the mower while the motor is running.
11. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are subject
to wear and damage which could expose moving parts or
allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently
check components and replace immediately with original
equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only. "Use of parts
which do not meet the original equipment specifications may
lead to improper performance and compromise safety."
12. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
13. Remove push start safety key and store mower indoors when
not in use. Allow motor to cool before storing in any inclosure.
Mower should be stored indoors in a dry place, out of the
reach of small children.
14. Remove the battery(ies) from the mower when not in use.
15. Remove push start safety key before servicing, cleaning, or
removing material from the lawn mower.
16. To reduce a fire hazard, keep the motor free of grass, leaves
and debris build-up.
17. Never douse or hose the mower with water. Avoid getting
any liquid in the motor and electrical connections. Clean the
mower after each use. Refer to Cleaning and Storage. Do not
use solvents or strong detergents.
18. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
19. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for proper disposal
instructions.
20. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may
be toxic if swallowed.
21. Do not touch the motor or heat sink. These parts can get
extremely hot from operation, even after the mower is
turned off.
22. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery or conductor may be hot and cause
burns.
