Although the area of operation should be completely cleared of foreign objects, an object may have been overlooked and could be accidentally thrown by the nower in any direction and cause serious personal Injury to the operator or any others allowed in the area. PREPARATION 1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipmenl is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones and othi ir foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the Tiower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator or any others allowed in the area. Plan your mowing iiattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sit ewalks, bystanders and the like. 2. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during opi ration or while performing an adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine in any direction. 3. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Never operate a unit In bare feet, sandals, or sneakers. 4. Before working with gasoline, extinguish all cigarette >, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition. Check the fuel level before starting the engine. Gasoline is an extremely flamrmble fuel. Do not fill the gasoline tank indoors, while the engine is running, or until engine has been allowed to cool for at east two minutes after running. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine is it may cause afire or explosion. 5. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive clutch on units so equipped before starting the engine. 6. The blade control handle is a safety device. Never al tempt to bypass its operation. Doing so makes the safety devic; inoperative and may result In personal injury through contact with the rotating blade. The blade control handle must operate easily In both directions and automatically return to the dissngaged position when released. 7. Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height ad ustment while the engine is running. 8. Never operate the mower in wet grass. Always be sur s of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal inji ry. Keep a firm hold on the handle and walk, never run. Mov' only In daylight or in good artificial light. 9. 5. 6. 7. 10. 11. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds are dangerous. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times as the rotating blade can cause injury. Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the chute. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. Do not run the engine indoors. Never cut grass by pulling mower toward you. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. Never operate mower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE 1. Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also visually inspect blade for damage (e.g. bent, cracked). Replace with blade which meets original equipment specifications. 2. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment Is in safe working condition. 3. Never store the mower with gasoline In the tank or gas containers inside of a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark (e.g. gas hot water heater). Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. 4. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves and excessive oil. 5. Check the grass catcher bag frequently for wear or deterioration. Replace a worn or damaged bag immediately. For safety protection, replace only with new bag meeting original equipment specifications. 2 f / ... .7 ........................-.............
