3

General Operation
1. 

Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the 

machine and in the manual(s) before attempting to 

assemble and operate. Keep this manual in a safe place for 

future and regular reference and for ordering replacement 

parts. 

2. 

Be familiar with all controls and their proper operation. 

Know how to stop the machine and disengage them 

quickly.

3. 

Never allow children under 14 years of age to operate this 

machine. Children 14 and over should read and understand 

the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual 

and on the machine and should be trained and supervised 

by an adult. 

4. 

Never allow adults to operate this machine without proper 

instruction. 

5. 

To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, 

keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet 

from the machine while it is in operation. Stop machine if 

anyone enters the area.

6. 

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be 

used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other 

foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by 

the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause serious personal 

injury. 

7. 

Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material 

toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, 

avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction 

which may cause discharged material to ricochet back 

toward the operator. 

8. 

Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during 

operation and while performing an adjustment or repair 

to protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can 

cause serious injury to the eyes. 

9. 

Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting 

slacks and shirts. Loose fitting clothes and jewelry can be 

caught in movable parts. Never operate this machine in 

bare feet or sandals. 

10.  Be aware of the mower and attachment discharge direction 

and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower 

without the discharge cover or entire grass catcher in its 

proper place.

11.  Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the 

cutting deck. Contact with the blade(s) can amputate 

hands and feet.
