and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill,  
`
The operation of any mower can result in  
foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which  
can result in severe eye damage. Always  
wear safety glasses or eye shields while  
operating your mower or performing any  
adjustments or repairs. We recommend a  
wide vision safety mask over spectacles or  
standard safety glasses.  
if possible.  
Do not mow near drop-off, ditches, or  
embankments. The mower could suddenly  
turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff  
or ditch, or if an edge caves in.  
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced trac-  
tion could cause sliding.  
Do not try to stabilize the machine by  
putting your foot on the ground.  
Use extra care in handling gasoline and  
other fuels. They are flammable and vapors  
are explosive.  
Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.  
- Use only an approved container.  
- Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the  
engine running. Allow engine to cool before  
refueling. Do not smoke.  
III. CHILDREN  
- Never refuel the machine indoors.  
- Never store the machine or fuel container  
inside where there is an open flame, such  
as a water heater.  
Never run a machine inside a closed area.  
Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade  
attachment bolts, tight and keep equipment  
in good condition.  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not  
alert to the presence of children. Children are  
often attracted to the machine and the mowing  
activity. Never assume that children will remain  
where you last saw them.  
NEVER allow children to operate the  
machine.  
Keep children out of the mowing area and  
under the watchful care of another respon-  
sible adult.  
Never tamper with safety devices. Check  
there proper operation regularly.  
Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other  
debris buildup. Clean oil or fuel spillage.  
Allow machine to cool before storing.  
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike  
an object. Repair, if necessary, before  
restarting.  
Be alert and turn off the machine if children  
enter the area.  
Before and when backing, look behind and  
down for small children.  
Never carry children. They may fall off and  
be seriously injured or interfere with safe  
machine operation.  
Never make adjustments or repairs with the  
engine running.  
Use extra care when approaching blind  
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that  
may obscure vision.  
Grass catcher components are subject to  
wear, damage, and deterioration, which  
could expose moving parts or allow objects  
to be thrown. Frequently check components  
and replace with manufacturer’s recom-  
mended parts, when necessary.  
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap  
the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra  
caution when servicing them.  
Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and  
service as shown in the Operator’s manual.

Look for this symbol to point out impor-  
tant safety precautions. It means CAU-  
TION!!! BECOME ALERT!!! YOUR SAFETY  
IS INVOLVED.  
Be sure the area is clear of other people  
before mowing. Stop machine if anyone  
enters the area.  
Never carry passengers or children even  
with the blades off.  
Do not drive in reverse unless absolutely  
necessary. Always look down and behind  
before and while backing.  
Never carry children. They may fall off and  
be seriously injured or interfere with safe  
machine operation.  
CAUTION  
In order to prevent accidental starting when  
setting up, transporting, adjusting or mak-  
ing repairs, always disconnect spark plug

sible adult.  
Be alert and turn machine off if children  
enter the area.
