both the mower and individuals in the vicinity of the
mower.

fueling operations.

4. NEVER place hands or feet under mower or near dis
charge chute while engine is running.

5. Do not tilt mower at extreme angle while engine is run

ning. Cut grass on hills and banks sideways, not up and
down.

6. Always stop engine when not cutting grass.

7. Do not fill gas tank while engine is running. Do not spill

gasoline on hot engine.

8. Keep children and pets away from area at all times during
mowing operation. Never allow mower to discharge grass
toward any person.

9. Do not attempt to start engine while mower is resting in

high grass.

10. Check all nuts and bolts, particularly the blade bolts, for
tightness. This is especially important during the initial
operation period. Make this same check periodically
thereafter.

stop the mower and inspect for damage. Do not restart
or operate the mower until all damage has been repaired.
