SPECIFIC
SAFETY
RULES
OPERATION
SAFETY
This machine
has
been designed
to
perform
one job:
to
mow
grass.
Do
not
use
it
for
any other purpose.
Operate the product only in daylight
or
in good artificial light.
Walk, never run.
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks
or
roads.
A missing or damaged discharge cover
can
cause
blade contact
or
thrown object injuries.
Many injuries occur
as
a result
of
the mower being pulled over the
foot
during a fall
caused
by slipping
or
tripping. Do not hold on
to
the mower
if
you are falling: release the handle immediately.
Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking.
If
you must back the mower away from a wall
or
obstruction,
first
look down and behind
to
avoid
tripping
and then
follow
these
steps:
a.
Step back from mower
to
fully extend your arms forward.
b.
Be
sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
c.
Pull the mower back slowly,
no
more than half way toward you.
d.
Repeat these steps
as
needed.
Do
not
touch parts
that
are
hot
from operation.
Allow
parts
to
cool before attempting
to
maintain, adjust,
or
service. Serious
burns may result. Engine parts, especially the muffler, become
extremely hot during operation. Allow engine
and
muffler
to
cool
before touching.
Stay alert, watch
what
you are doing, and use common sense
when operating the machine.
Do
not
overreach. Do
not
operate
the
machine while barefoot
or
when wearing sandals
or
similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective
footwear
that
will
protect
your
feet
and improve
your
footing
on
slippery
surfaces. Keep
proper
footing
and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of
the machine in
unexpected situations.
Do
not
engage
the
self-propelled mechanism on machines
so
equipped while starting engine.
The blade
control
handle is a
safety
device.
Never
attempt
to
bypass
its
operation.
Doing
so makes
the
safety
device
inoperative and may result in personal
injury
through contact
with
the rotating blade. The blade control handle must operate
easily
in
both
directions
and
automatically
return
to
the
disengaged position when released.
Never operate the mower on
wet
grass.
Always
be
sure
of
your
footing. A slip
and
fall
can
cause serious personal injury.
If
you
feel you are losing your footing, release the blade control handle
immediately
and
the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
Shut the engine
off
and
wait
until the blade
comes
to
a complete
stop before removing the grass bagger
or
unclogging the chute.
The cutting blade continues
to
rotate
for
a few seconds after the
blade control
is
released. Never place any part
of
the body in the
blade area until you are sure the blade
has
stopped rotating.
Never operate
mower
without
proper
trail
shield, discharge
cover, grass bagger,
blade
control
handle
or
other
safety
protective devices in place
and
working. Never operate mower
with
damaged
safety
devices. Failure
to
do
so
can
result
in
personal injury.
Never
attempt
to
make a wheel
or
cutting
height adjustment
while the engine
is
running.
When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance
is
felt, then
pull rapidly. Rapid retraction
of
starter cord (kickback) will pull
hand
and
arm toward engine faster than you
can
let
go.
Broken
bones,
fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
