CHILDREN Read, understand, and fellow all instructions in the manual and on the machine before starling Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with tile instructions, to operate the machine Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc, which could be picked up and thrown by the blade Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing Stop machine it anyone enters the area Never carry passengers Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary Always look down and behind before and while backing Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without either the entire grass catcher or the guard in place. Slow down before turning Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn off blades, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting Turn off blades when not mowing Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging chute. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area Before and when backing, look behind and down for small children • IV° SERVICE Mow only in daylight or good artificial light Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck • II. SLOPE OPERATION • Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death_ All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it. DO: Mow up and down slopes, not across Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles Use slow speed Choose a low gear so that you will not have to stop or shift while on the slope Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments_ Tirese can change the stability of the machine. Keep all movement on the slopes slowand gradual Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope • • Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive. Use only an approved container Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine running Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke. Never refuel the machine indoors Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater Never run a machine inside a closed area. Keep nuts arrd bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition Never tamper with safety devices Check their proper operation regularly. Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up Clean oil or fuel spillage Allow machine to cool before storing Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object Repair, if necessary, before restarting Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary Mower blades are sharp and can cuL Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them Check brake operation frequently Adjust and service as required & & DO NOT: • Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation Never allow children to operate the machine Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision Do net turnon slopes unless necessary, and then, turnslowly and gradually downhill, if possible. Do not mow near drop-ells, ditches, or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. Do not mow on wet grass Reduced traction could cause sliding Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes_ Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions.

Have the cut area to the right of the machine This will result in a more even distribution of clippings and more uniform cutting_ ° When mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc After one ortwo rounds, mow in the opposite direction making left hand turns until finished (See Fig_ 8 ) • If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clippings Make first cut relatively high; the second to the desired height ° Do not mow grass when it is wet Wet grass will plug mower and leave undesirable clumps Allow grass to dry before mowing position, Note: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures below Insert key into ignition and tum key clockwise to"START" position and release key as soon as engine starts Do not run starter continuously for more than fifteen seconds per minute If the engine does not start after several attempts, move throttle control to fast (,_) position, wait a few minutes and try again, If engine still does net start, move the throttle control back to the choke (N) position and retry, WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and above) W hen engine starts, move the throttle control to the fast (.€_,)position The attachments and ground drive can now be used If the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke as described above. COLD WEATHER Always operate engine at full throttle when mowing to assure better mowing performance and proper discharge of material Regulate ground speed by selecting a low enough gear to give the mower cutting performance as well as the quality of cut desired. STARTING ( 50 ° F and below) When engine starts, allow engine to run with the throttle control in the choke (J\l) position until the engine runs roughly, then move throttle control to fast (,_) position This may require an engine warm-up period from several seconds to several minutes, depending on the temperature The attachments can also be used during the engine warm-up period. o When operating attachments, select a ground speed that will suit the terrain and give best performance of the attachment being used f NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may need to be adjusted for best engine performance.
