manual abstract
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. 6. Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, before cleaning the mower housing, and when making any repairs or inspections. 7. When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. 8. Before attempting to unclog the mower or discharge chute, stop the engine and be sure the blade has stopped completely. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. 9. Do not run the engine indoors. 10. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging chute. 11. Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not mow excessively steep slopes. 12. Always disconnect electric mowers (line operated) before cleaning, repairing or adjusting. 13. Never operate mower without proper guards, plates or other safety protective devices in place. 14. Keep washout ports and other mower-housing service openings closed when mowing.

Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. 3. Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside of a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. 4. To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. 5. Check the grass catcher bag frequently for wear or deterioration.
