2. SLOPE OPERATION
For your safety,; use the slope gauge to measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or
hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degree as shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this unit
on that area or serious injury could result.
■ DO:
• Mow across the fact of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
• Watch for holes, ruts, hidden objects, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. Aslip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel
you and losing your balance release the blade control handle * immediately and the blade will stop in
less than 3 seconds.
■ DO NOT:
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
• Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine or switching on the motor, except if the
lawnmower has to be tilted for starting. In the case, do the tilt if more than absolutely necessary and
tilt only the part which is away from the operator.
• Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge chute.
• Do not mow near drop-o󰀨s, ditches or embankments. The operator could lose footing of
balance.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degree as shown on the slope gauge.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.
3.CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often
attracted to the mower 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 a responsible adult
other than the operator.
• Be alert and turn mower o󰀨 if a child enters the area.
• Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children or other
objects.

should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind comers, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure your vision of a child or hazard.
4.SERVICE
Warning: Petrol is highly ammable
• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are extremely ammable and the
vapors are explosive.
• Use only an approved gasoline container.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is running. Allow engine to cool at least
two minutes before refueling.
• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe o󰀨 any spilled gasoline before starting the engine as
it may cause a re or explosion.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

• Never run an engine inside a closed area.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. To reduce the re hazard, keep the
engine silencer and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves or excessive grease.
• Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent
accidental starting.
• Cheek the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also
visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., Bent, cracked or worn). Replace with blade which meets
original equipment specications listed in this manual.
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, remove the wire from the spark plug, and
thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage.Repair the damage before starting and operating the
mower.

• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while
the engine is running or when the engine is hot.
If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.
• Replace faulty silences. Before using, always visually inspect to see that blades, blade bolts and
cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to
preserve balance.
Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently check components and
replace with manufacture’s recommended parts, when necessary.
