attempting to operate this mower. Failure to comply with this information may result in personal injury or
death. Keep this manual in a safe location for future and regular reference.
DANGER — AVOID AMPUTATION INJURY
Do not put hands or feet near or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands and feet.
DANGER — AVOID CHILD RUNOVER/BLADE INJURY
Do not mow when children or others are around. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, stay in

it is in operation. Keep bystanders, children and pets inside while the mower is in operation. Stop mower if
anyone enters the area.

Keep helpers at least 75’ (23 meters) from mower during operation. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones,
toys, and other foreign objects which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s). Do not operate the
mower without the discharge cover or entire grass catcher in its proper place.
DANGER — AVOID SLIP AND FALL ON SLOPES
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on the slope, do not mow it. Do not mow on slopes greater than 15
degrees (25%). Only mow across slopes, never mow up and down slopes.
