OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATION:
◾
Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety before
attempting to assemble this machine. Read, understand,
and follow all instructions on the machine and in the
manuals before operation. Be completely familiar with the
controls and proper use of this machine before operating
it. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement parts.
◾
Use the right appliance – Do not use the lawn mower for
any job except that for which it is intended.
◾
Don't overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
◾
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.
◾
Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down
for small children and other people.
◾
This machine is not a plaything. Therefore, exercise extreme
caution at all times. Your unit has been designed to perform
one job: to mow grass. Do not use it for any other purpose.
◾
Don't force the lawn mower – it will do the job better and
more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
◾
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades,
blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts and any other
components at the same time to preserve balance. Replace
damaged or unreadable labels.
◾
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
appliance towards you.
◾
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, toys and other
foreign objects that could be tripped over or picked up
and thrown by the blade. Thrown objects can cause
serious personal injury. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid
discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders
and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against walls
or obstructions, which may cause discharged material to
ricochet back toward the operator.
◾
To help avoid blade contact or an injury from thrown
objects, stay in the operator zone behind the handles and
keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at least 30m
from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the machine if
anyone enters the area.
◾
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes. Thrown objects that ricochet can cause
serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or dust mask if
the operation is dusty.

◾
Dress properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They
can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and
footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting trousers
and shirts. Shirts and trousers that cover the arms and legs
and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Never operate this
machine in bare feet, sandals, slippery or lightweight (e.g.,
canvas) shoes.
◾
Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the
cutting deck. Contact with the blade can injure hands and
feet.
◾
A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade
contact or injuries from thrown objects.
◾
Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled
over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping.
Do not hold onto the mower if you are falling, release the
handle immediately.
◾
Never pull the mower back toward you while you are
walking. If you must back the mower away from a wall or
obstruction first look down and behind to avoid tripping and
then following these steps:
◾
Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
◾
Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
◾
Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way
toward you.
◾
Repeat these steps as needed.
◾
Do not operate the mower while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
◾
Stay alert – watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired.
◾
The motor/blade control handle is a safety device. Never
attempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the
safety device inoperative and may result in personal injury
through contact with the rotating blade. The motor/blade
control handle must operate easily in both directions and
automatically return to the disengaged position when
released.
◾
Avoid dangerous environments – Don't use lawn mowers in
damp or wet locations.
◾
Don't use in rain.
◾
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your
footing, release the motor/blade control handle immediately
and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
◾
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
◾
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
◾
Inspect for damage;
