Sharp edges can cut. Movement of parts can cut off fingers or a hand. Wrap blade(s), wear sturdy gloves and use extreme caution when working near blades.

Installing the blower assembly on your mower requires the removal of the discharge chute deflector and belt guard. Retain discharge chute, hinge pin, belt guard and belt guard hardware in a safe location and reinstall whenever operating unit without the blower assembly.

If you cannot back up a slope or you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

Mow up and down slopes, not across them.
