SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
SPARK ARRESTOR
This mower is equipped with an internal combustion
engine and should not be used on or near any
unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-
covered land unless the engine's exhaust system is
equipped with a spark arrestor meeting applicable local
or state laws (if any).
If a spark arrestor is used, it should be maintained in
effective working order by the operator. In the State of
California the above is required by law (Section 4442 of
the California Public Resources Code). Other states may
have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
A spark arrestor for the muffler is available through your
nearest engine authorized service dealer or contact the
service department, P.O. Box 361131 Cleveland, Ohio
44136-0019.
SLOPE GAUGE (BACK COVER)
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.
USE THE SLOPE GAUGE ON THE BACK COVER AS SHOWN TO
DETERMINE IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Open manual to page and fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole,
building, fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object.
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the
slope.
5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for
safe operation.
