well ventilated, unoccupied

2. Keep mower and engine free of grass, leaves or

excess grease to reduce fire hazard and engine

overheating.

3. When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an

approved container outdoors and away from

open flame.

6. DO NOT mow near drop offs, ditches or

embankments. Operator could lose footing or

balance.

4. Keep all bolts, especially blade bolts, nuts and

screws properly tight. Check that all cotter pins

are in proper position.

7. STAY ALERT for holes and other hidden

hazards. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Keep

away from ditches, washouts, culverts, fences

and protruding objects.

8. DO NOT mow on wet grass. Always be sure of

reason.

10. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting make

certain engine, blade and all moving parts have

STOPPED. Disconnect and secure spark plug

wire away from plug to prevent accidental

starting.

5. Always provide adequate ventilation when

running engine. Engine exhaust gases contain

carbon monoxide, a deadly poison.

6. Service engine and make adjustments only

when engine is stopped. Removed spark plug

wire from spark plug and secure wire away from

spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

7. DO NOT change engine governor speed

settings or overspeed engine.

8. Check grass bag assembly frequently for wear

or deterioration to avoid thrown objects and

exposure to moving parts. Replace with new

CAUTION when handling them.

11. STOP engine and wait until the blade comes to

complete STOP before removing grass bag

catcher or guards in place. DO NOT point

discharge at people, passing cars, windows or

doors.

13. Slow down before turning.

14. Watch out for traffic when near or crossing

roadways.

11. Have machine serviced by an authorized
