with the instructions, and physically capable to operate
the machine.
3 . Do not operate the machine while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Preparation Before Operating
1 . Clear the operating area of any objects which could be
thrown by or interfere with operation of the machine.
2 . Keep the area of operation clear of all bystanders,
particularly small children and pets. Stop the machine and
attachment(s) if anyone enters the area.
3 . Do not operate the machine without the entire grass
catcher, discharge chute, or other safety devices in place
and functioning properly. Check frequently for signs of wear

safety glasses, hearing protection, respiratory protection
and footwear.
Operating
1 . Only operate the machine in daylight or good
artificial light.
2 . Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
Uneven terrain could overturn the machine, or cause
operator's loss of balance or footing. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Stay behind handle.
3 . Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the
machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
4 . Do not direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material
may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s)
when crossing gravel surfaces.
5 . Do not pull mower backward unless absolutely
necessary. Always look down and behind before and
while moving backward.
6 . Always release the bail handle to stop the motor and wait until
the blade comes to a complete stop and remove the safety
key and battery packs before cleaning the mower, removing
the grass catcher, unclogging the discharge, when leaving
the mower, when storing the mower, when transporting the
mower, or before any adjustments, repairs or inspection.
7 . If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release
the bail handle, wait for the blade to stop and remove
the safety key and battery packs, then check for the cause
immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
