DANGER:
THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE AREA WHERE THE MOWER IS TO BE USED.
LOOK FOR ITEMS SUCH AS STONES, STICKS, WIRE, AND OTHER FOREIGN OBJECTS. WHEN
STRUCK BY THE MOWER, THESE AND OTHER OBJECTS MAY BECOME PROJECTILES THAT
COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH. CLEAR AREA OF ALL DEBRIS AND KEEP
PEOPLE AND PETS AWAY.
DANGER:
DO NOT OPERATE THE MOWER WITH DEFECTIVE GUARDS OR SHIELDS. DO
NOT OPERATE THE MOWER WITHOUT THE SAFETY DEVICES SECURELY IN PLACE.
For the highest quality of cut and performance, mow with the engine at full throttle. Quality of cut may
be determined by the ground speed and speed of the mower. Generally, the slower the mower travels
across the terrain, the better the cut.

sure the left control level is down and out of the neutral lock position.
2. Push the Blade Control Lever forward to the “On” position to engage the blades.
3. To disengage blades, come to a complete stop and pull the Blade Control Lever to the “Off”
position.
