Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
Always inspect all guards, shields and safety
devices prior to each use. Do not operate machine
without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard,
rear guard, or other safety protective devices in
place and working.
Do not tilt the machine when starting or switching
on the motor, except if the machine has to be
tilted for starting in long grass. In this case, do not
tilt it more than absolutely necessary and tilt only
the part which is away from the operator.
Always ensure that both hands are in the
operating position before returning the machine to
the ground.
Switch on the motor according to the instructions
with feet well away from rotating parts.
Never leave a running machine unattended.
Stop the motor, wait until the blade comes to a
complete stop and remove the battery before
cleaning the machine, removing grass catcher, or
unclogging the discharge guard.
Operate machine only in daylight or good artificial
light.
Do not operate machine while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
Do not use battery-operated lawnmower in rain.
Avoid Dangerous Environment –Don’t use
lawnmowers in damp or wet locations.
Never operate mower in wet grass. Wet grass may
cause the operator to slip. Always be sure of your
footing; walk, never run.
If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally,
stop the motor and check for the cause
immediately. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
Use Right Appliance – Do not use lawnmower for
any job except that for which it is intended.
Don’t Force Lawnmower – It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate lawnmower when
you are tired.
See manufacturer’s instructions for proper
operation and installation of accessories. Only
the accessories and attachments originally
provided with the lawnmower are approved by the
manufacturer.
Always store the lawnmower in a cool, dry
place and out of direct sunlight. Long exposure
to sunlight and UV rays can degrade plastics
overtime, potentially causing guards to fail.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Mow across the face of slopes; never up and
down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip
and fall accident. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Avoid mowing on wet grass or excessively steep
slopes (> °). Poor footing could cause a slip and
fall accident.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction,
especially on slopes.
Do not mow near drop offs, ditches, or
embankments. You could lose your footing or
balance.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not
alert to the presence of children. Children are
often attracted to the machine and the mowing
activity. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.
Remove the safety key whenever you leave or
store the machine. Store in a secure and locked-
up place – out of reach of children.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under
the watchful care of a responsible adult other
than the operator.
Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the
area.
