OPERATION
MOWING TIPS
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn
mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction
and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
■ To reduce the likelihood of disconnecting the lawn mower from the extension cord, be sure to use
the cord retainer provided.
■ For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass.
■ When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper mulching of grass
clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
■ Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and
any other accumulated debris.
MOWING ON A SLOPE
■ Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents that can result in severe injury. Mowing
on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
For your safety, do not attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.
■ Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction
on slopes.
■ Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be tripped over
or thrown by the blade.
■ Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the bale switch immediately.
■ Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
