SLOPE OPERATION
• Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall
grass can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be
tripped over or thrown by the blade.
• Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the power lever immediately.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
Operation
WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
!
that can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety,
do not attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
model no. 060-1720-6 | contact us: 1.866.523.5218
MOWING TIPS
• Make sure the lawn is clear of stones sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn
mower blade or motor. Do not mow over property stakes or other metal posts. Such objects could
be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the
operator and others.
• For a healthy lawn, always cut off 1/3 or less of the total length of the grass.
• Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper bagging or
mulching of grass clippings.
• New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a higher cutting height.
• Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt and
any other accumulated debris.
• When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blade to completely stop before cleaning underneath the mower.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
• Carefully read all instructions on the mower and in the manual before attempting to assemble and
operate the mower. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference, and consult it regularly.
• Become familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the mower and
how to disengage the power in an emergency.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this mower. Children who are 14 years of age
and older must read and understand the operating instructions and the safety rules in this manual,
and must be trained and supervised by a parent.
• Do not allow anyone to operate this mower until they have read and understand the instructions.
• In order to avoid contact with the blade or injury caused by a thrown object, stay in the operator’s
zone behind the handles, and keep children and bystanders at least 75’ (20 m) away from the
mower while it is in operation. Stop the motor immediately if someone enters the mowing area.
Safety Information
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones, toys, and other foreign objects that could be tripped over or thrown by the blade. Thrown
objects can cause serious personal injury.
• Plan your mowing pattern in such a way as to avoid discharging material toward roads, sidewalks,
bystanders, etc. Do not discharge material against a wall or obstruction. Doing so may cause the
discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator.

provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) that will be used to power the lawn mower.
• In order to prevent electric shock, use this mower only with a CSA/CUL listed extension cord that
is approved for outdoor use, such as Type SW–A, SOW–A, STW–A, STOW–A, SJW–A, SJOW–A,
SJTW–A, or SJTOW–A.
• Extension cord: Verify that the extension cord is in good condition, is heavy enough to carry
the current that your mower will draw, and is polarized (one blade of the plug is wider than the
other). A 100’ (30 m) extension cord should be of 14 AWG, a 50’ (15 m) extension cord should be
16 AWG, and a 150’ (45 m) extension cord should be 12 AWG. Undersized cords cause a drop in
the line voltage, which leads to a loss of power and overheating.
• In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, this lawn mower is equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other), and must be used with a polarized extension cord. The lawn
mower’s plug will only t into the polarized extension cord one way. If the plug does not t into the
extension cord properly, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not t, obtain a proper polarized
extension cord. A polarized extension cord must be plugged into a polarized wall outlet. This plug
will only t into the polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not t into the outlet properly, reverse
the plug. If the plug still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install a proper outlet. Do not
alter the lawn mower’s plug, the receptacle on the extension cord, or the plug on the extension
cord in any way.

starting when connected to a circuit that contains a standard 15 A fuse or circuit breaker, call the
toll-free helpline (1-866-523-5218). Do not use a fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating than
that specied for your particular branch circuit.
• Do not abuse the cord by pulling the mower by the cord or yanking on the cord in order to
disconnect it from the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the operator’s foot during a fall
caused by slipping or tripping. Do not operate this mower bare feet, or while wearing sandals or
lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes. Do not hold on to the mower if you are falling. Release the handle
immediately.

injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is included as part of this manual to measure slopes
before operating this mower on a sloped or hilly area. Do not mow a slope that has an angle greater
than 15°.
• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., that can be tripped over or
thrown by the blade.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the blade/
motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or
balance.
• Do not mow a slope that has an angle greater than 15°, as determined using the slope gauge.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.

Safety Information
CHILDREN
• Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not aware of the presence of children. Keep children
out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult. Stay alert, and turn
the mower off if a child enters the mowing area. Look behind and down for small children before
and while moving backwards. Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your view of a child who may run into the path of
the mower.
• Do not allow children under the age of 14 to operate this mower. Children who are 14 years
of age and older must read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this
manual, and must be trained and supervised by a parent.

DOUBLE-INSULATED LAWN MOWER
Double insulation eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. Wherever there is electric current in the mower, there are two complete sets
of insulation to protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components by protecting insulation.
