least 75 feet from mower while it is in operation.  Stop machine if anyone

ChiLdRen
Tragic accidents can occur if operator is not alert to presence of children. Chil-
dren are often attracted to mower and mowing activity.They do not understand
the dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
Always wear safety glasses or safety  goggles during operation and while
performing an adjustment  or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects
which ricochet can  cause serious injury to the eyes.
Keep children out of the mowing  area and under watchful care of a
responsible adult other  than the operator.
Be alert and turn mower off  if a child enters the area.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes  and close-fitting slacks and shirts.
Shirts and pants that cover the  arms and  legs and steel-toed shoes
are recommended. Never operate  this machine in bare feet, sandals,
slippery or light weight  (e.g. canvas) shoes.
Before and while moving backwards,  look behind and down for small
children.
Use extreme care when approaching  blind corners, doorways, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that  may obscure your vision of a child who may
run into the mower.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating  parts or under cutting deck.
Contact with blade can  amputate hands and feet.
Keep children away from hot or running  engines. They can suffer burns
from a hot muffler.
A missing or damaged discharge  cover can cause blade contact or
thrown object injuries.
Never allow children under 14 years old  to operate a power mower.
Children 14 years old and over should  read and understand operation
instructions and safety  rules in this manual and should be trained  and
supervised by a parent.
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:
GeneRAL  OPeRATiOn
Read this operator’s manual carefully  in its entirety before attempting
to assemble this machine.  Read, understand, and follow all instructions
on the machine and in the manual(s)  before operation. Be completely
familiar with the controls  and the proper use of this machine before
operating it. Keep this manual  in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement  parts.
a. Step back from mower to fully extend your arms.
b. Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
c. Pull  back slowly, no more than half way towards you.
d. Repeat these steps as needed.
Do not operate the mower while under  the influence of  alcohol or drugs.
This machine is a precision  piece of power equipment, not a plaything.
Therefore, exercise extreme caution  at all times. Your unit has been
designed to perform one  job: to mow grass. Do not use it for any other
purpose.
Do not engage the self-propelled  mechanism on units 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 allow children under 14 years old  to operate this machine.
Children 14 years old and over should  read and understand the instruc-
tions in this manual and should  be trained and supervised by a parent.
Only responsible individuals  who are familiar with these rules  of safe
operation should be allowed  to use this machine.
Never operate the mower in 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.
Thoroughly inspect the  area where the equipment is to be used. Remove
all stones, sticks, wire, bones,  toys and other foreign objects which could
be tripped over or picked up and  thrown by the blade. Thrown objects
can cause serious personal  injury. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid
discharge of material toward roads,  sidewalks, bystanders and the like.
Also, avoid discharging material  against a wall or obstruction which may
cause discharged material  to ricochet back toward the operator.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial  light. Walk, never run.
Stop the blade when crossing  gravel drives, walks or roads.
