Section 2 — important Safe operation practiceS

5. 

Check the blade(s) and engine mounting bolts at frequent 

intervals for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s) 

for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent, cracked).   Replace 

the blade(s) with the original equipment manufacturer’s 

(O.E.M.) blade(s) only, listed in this manual. “Use of parts 

which do not meet the original equipment specifications 

may lead to improper performance and compromise 

safety!” 

6. 

Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, 

and use extra caution when servicing them.

7. 

Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the 

equipment is in safe working condition. 

8. 

Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other 

safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

9. 

After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect 

the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the engine. 

Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. Repair 

the damage before starting and operating.

10.  Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the 

machine while the engine is running.

11.  Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are 

subject to wear and damage which could expose moving 

parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, 

frequently check components and replace immediately 

with original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts only, 

listed in this manual. “Use of parts which do not meet the 

original equipment specifications may lead to improper 

performance and compromise safety!”

12.  Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed 

the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe 

operating speed of the engine. 

13.  Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as 

necessary. 

14.  Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, 

etc. to protect the environment.

15.  According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission 

(CPSC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 

this product has an Average Useful Life of seven (7) years, 

or 270 hours of operation. At the end of the Average Useful 

Life have the machine inspected annually by an authorized 

service dealer to ensure that all mechanical and safety 

systems are working properly and not worn excessively. 

Failure to do so can result in accidents, injuries or death.

Do not modify engine
To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any 

way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway 

engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper 

with factory setting of engine governor.
