SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this  
manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that  
follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury.  
Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw  
objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious  
injury or death.  
Read the manual. Learn to operate this machine safely.  
Always disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact  
the spark plug, to prevent accidental starting the engine when setting up,  
transporting, adjusting or making repairs.  
Keep all shields and guards in place.  
Understand the speed, steering and stability of this machine. Know the positions  
and operations of all controls before you operate this machine. Check all of the  
controls in a safe area before starting to work with this machine.  
Allow only responsible adults who are familiar with these instructions to operate  
this machine. Never allow children to operate this machine.  
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc. that can be picked up and  
thrown by the blade.  
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Be aware of the mower  
discharge direction and do not point at anyone. Stop the machine if anyone enters  
the mowing area. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing  
activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.  
Keep children under the watchful care of another responsible adult.  
No riders!  
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge  
opening at all times.  
Do not mow in reverse. Always look down and behind before and while backing.

Turn off the blades when not mowing. Before leaving the machine, turn off  
the blades and stop the engine.  
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.  
Do not operate the mower if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner or  
if the mower vibrates excessively. Excessive vibration is an indication of  
damage. Repair mower as necessary.  
Dress properly. Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open  
sandals. Wear only solid shoes with good traction when mowing.  
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  
Operate self-propelled machines up and down slopes. There is significant risk  
of overturns when operating across slopes. Operate walk-behind machines  
across slopes. There is a significant risk of slipping under a walk-behind  
machine when operating up and down slopes. Do not operate on slopes greater  
than 15 degrees.  
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.  
Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary,  
before restarting.  
Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.  
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use  
extra caution when servicing them.
