DoNot:
1. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.
2. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The
mower could suddenly turn over ifa wheel is over the edge
of a cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
3. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
4. Do not use a grass catcher on steep slopes.
5. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
GeneralService
1. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
blade(s) and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.
2. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
3. Never tamper with your mower's safety interlock system
or other safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly.
4. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs while the
mower's engine is running.
5. 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,
listed in this manual. Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!
6. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
