2. GENERAL SAFETY
l Know how to stop the engine quickly and understand operation of all the
controls. Never permit anyone to operate the mower without proper in-
struction.
l The rear shield is for your protection; keep it in place at all times.
l The blade is sharp and dangerous. Never put your hands or feet under
the mower. Never tilt the mower to expose the blade while the engine is
running. If you find it necessary to work on the blade or mower, stop the
engine and remove the spark plug cap.
l Never stand in front of self-propelled mowers when the engine is run-
ning. Someone may accidentally engage the drive clutch.
l Clear the lawn of sticks, stones, or debris before mowing. Mow only in
cleared areas in daylight or good artificial light.
l Protect yourself by wearing long trousers and appropriate shoes. Don’t
wear loose fitting clothing or sandals when mowing.
l Keep children and pets away from the mower at all times.
l If the blade strikes a stone, sprinkler head, etc., be sure the blade, blade
holderwasher, woodruff key, fasteners, crankshaft, etc. are in good con-
dition before continuing to mow.
Replace any damaged parts.
