WARNING 8 GENERAL OPERATION Read, understand, and follow all instructions in this manual and on the mower before starting. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the mower. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc.
WARNING 9 WARNING ! Failure to observe the following instructions could result in serious injury or death. Turn off blades when not mowing. Injury could occur from contact with moving parts. Under no circumstances should you place hands or feet under the mower deck or in the chute while blades or impeller are still running.
WARNING 10 WARNING ! Failure to observe the following instructions could result in serious injury or death. SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.
WARNING 11 SLOPE OPERATION (continued) DO NOT Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible. Rapid uphill turns may cause tip-over. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Unstable ground may cause loss of control.
WARNING 12 FIRE HAZARDS Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. Store all fuel in approved containers specifically designed for that purpose. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with engine running.
WARNING 13 FIRE HAZARDS (continued) To prevent fire or explosion, keep sparks and open flames away from battery. Keep electrical connections clean and tight. Inspect them often. Loose connections and corrosion increase fire risk. Before disconnecting the negative ground cable, make sure all switches are off.
WARNING 14 CHILDREN, BYSTANDERS AND PETS Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children, bystanders and pets. Children are attracted to lawn mowers and the mowing activity. NEVER assume children, bystanders and pets will stay where they were last seen.
WARNING 15 SERVICE Never run a mower inside a closed area or without proper ventilation. Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and keep equipment in good condition. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
