SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

When transporting or servicing unit, always remove the battery.

WARNING (PROPOSITION 65)

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con-

tains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of

these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved

safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

SERVICE

Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a qualied service

technician. For service, it is suggested you return the product to your nearest AUTHORIZED SER-

VICE CENTRE for repair. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

Slope gauge

Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which can result in severe

injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not

mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is included as part of this manual to measure slopes

before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area.

• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when chang-

ing direction on a slope.

• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass

can hide obstacles.

• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the blade/mo-

tor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or

balance.

• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°, as determined using the slope gauge.

• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.

WARNING

Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2-1/2 ft. every 10

ft.). Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.
