BEFORE MOWING
Be sure to dress correctly. Wear hard shoes, not sandals or soft shoes.
Examine the blade. A blade that is bent, cracked, or damaged must be replaced with a factory
replacement blade.
Fill the fuel tank outside. Clean off spilled fuel.
Read and follow the Owner’s Handbook, the instructions with the engine, and the instructions
with any attachments. These instructions are for your safety and the safety of others.
Exhaust fumes are dangerous. Start the engine outside.
Make sure all safety devices are in place and working correctly.
Operation of the mower is only for a person that has experience.
Wet grass can be dangerous. Let the grass dry.
Instruct children and others to keep away from the work area.
Never cut the grass without good light.
Pick up loose objects. Remove them from the mowing area.
WHILE MOWING
Watch for fixed objects and avoid them. They can damage the mower or cause injury.
A hot engine and silencer will cause a burn. Do not touch.
Inclines and slopes must be carefully mowed. See the “Guide” in the back of this book to check
a slope.
Lack of daylight or good artificial light is cause to stop mowing.
Examine the mower, the blade, and other parts for damage after hitting a foreign object or if the
unit vibrates excessively.
Do not make adjustments or repairs without stopping the engine (except for carburettor). Dis-
connect the spark plug wire.
On or near roads, watch out for traffic. Direct discharge away from roads.
When mowing, avoid areas where traction is unsure. Look back before changing direction of
travel.
In heavy grass, raise the cutting height. Cut slower. Stop the engine to remove clogged grass
from the mower.
Never remove any safety related parts.
Do not pour fuel into a engine that is hot or running.
AFTER MOWING
Always let the mower cool before storing in an enclosed area.
Foreign material on the mower is dangerous. Clean off grass, leaves, grease and oil before
storing.
Tighten all loose nuts, bolts and screws before you use the unit.
Empty and clean any grass catcher or other accessory.
Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent unauthorized use.
Make sure the mower is not kept near a source of ignition. Petro fumes can cause an explosion.
Only Hayter approved replacement parts can be used to service the mower.
When storing the mower for an extended period, remove the fuel from the fuel tank.
Instruct children to leave the mower alone. It is not a toy.
Never keep petro near a source of ignition. Always use an approved container. Keep petro away
