Operating Tips
•
Review the safety instructions and read this Manual carefully before operating the lawn mower.
•
Never mow on slopes with inclines exceeding 45
°
.
•
Never attempt to mow by pushing the lawn mower up the slope.
•
Keep the mower pointing down when mowing slopes.
•
Always stay above the mower when mowing slopes.
•
Walk across the slopes not up and down.
•
Clear the area of sticks, stones, wire, branches and other debris that the blade could hit or throw.
•
Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from the area of operation.
•
Avoid striking trees, walls, curbs or other solid objects. Never deliberately mow over any object.
•
If the lawn mower strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately stop the engine, disconnect the
wire from the spark plug and examine the lawn mower for damage.
•
Maintain sharp blades throughout the cutting season.
•
Replace the blades when necessary with original Eastman Industries replacement blades.
•
Mow only dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause the
lawn mower to plug or the engine to stall.
•
Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and come in contact with the blades.
•
Clean the underside of the lawn mower deck after each mowing. Keep the engine in good running
condition.
•
Clean the air f ilter frequently. Mulching stirs up more clippings and dust which clogs the air f ilter
and reduces engine performance.
•
Consult the Engine Operator’s Manual for more complete instructions regarding engine
maintenance and operation.
