SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR WALK-BEHIND MOWERS

TRAINING

Read the Operating and Service Instruction Manual

carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Never allow children to operate a power mower.

2. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,

particularly small children, and pets.

PREPARATION

1. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones and other foreign objects.

2. Do not operate equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Always wear substantial footwear.

3. Check the fuel before starting the engine. Do not fill the gasoline tank indoors, when the engine is running, or while the engine is still hot. Wipe off any spilled gasoline before starting the engine.

4. Disengage the self-propelled mechanism or drive clutch on units so equipped before starting the engine

(motor).

5. Never attempt to make a wheel adjustment while the engine (motor) is running.

6. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

7. Never operate the equipment in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing; keep a firm hold on the handle and walk, never run.

OPERATION

1. Do not change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine.

2. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

3. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel drive, walks or roads.

4. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor), remove the wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower.

If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the equipment, before cleaning the mower housing, and when making any repairs or inspections. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped.

Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire

away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.

Do not run the engine indoors.

Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging chute.

10.

Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

11.

Always disconnect electric mowers (line operated) before cleaning, repairing or adjusting.

12.

Never operate mower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place.

13.

Keep washout ports and other mower-housing service openings closed when mowing.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1. Check the blade and the engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

2. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition,

3. Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside of a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

4. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

5. Check the grass catcher bags frequently for wear or deterioration. Replace with new bags for safety protection.
