WARNING: Ensure that other people and pets remain at least 100 ft away when the mower is in
use.
INSPECT THE CUTTING AREA. Remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other debris that
might be thrown by the rotating blades.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 8)
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to the lowest cutting position. Before using the
mower for the first time, raise the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn.
To adjust the wheel height:

WARNING: 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
changing 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/
motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
