SECTION1: IMPORTANTSAFEOPERATIONPRACTICES
WARNING" This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed, could
endanger the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and follow all instructions in
this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in personal injury. When you see this symbol - heed its warning.
WARNING" Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or
emit chemicals known to State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this
manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can
result in serious injury. This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.
Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
GeneralOperation
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate this machine.
Children 14 years old and over should read and understand the
instructions 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.
4. 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.
5. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, stay in the
operator zone behind the handles and keep children,
bystanders, helpers and pets at least 75 feet from the mower
while it is in operation. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting
deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands and feet.
9. A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact
or thrown object injuries.
10. 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.
11. 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:
a. Step back from the mower to fully extend your arms.
b. Be sure you are well balanced with sure footing.
c. Pull the mower back slowly, no more than half way
toward you.
d. Repeat these steps as needed.
12. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol
or drugs.
13. Do not engage the self-propelled mechanism on units so
equipped while starting engine.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Walk, never run.
Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
17. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble.
18. Shut the engine off and wait until the blade comes to a complete
stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the chute.
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.
19. Never operate mower without proper trail shield, discharge
cover, grass catcher, blade control handle or other safety
protective devices in place and working. Never operate mower
with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so, can result in
personal injury.
20. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not
touch.
21. Only use parts and accessories made for this machine by the
manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
22. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care
and good judgment. Call customer assistance for the name of
your nearest servicing dealer.
SlopeOperation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can
result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If
you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the
slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure slopes before
operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than
15 degrees, do not mow it.
Do:
1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can
cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. 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 blade control handle immediately, and the blade will stop
rotating within 3 seconds.
DoNot:
1. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments, you could
lose your footing or balance.
2. Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees as shown on the
slope gauge.
3. Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence
of children. Children are often attracted to the mower and the mowing
activity. They do not understand the dangers. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful
care of a responsible adult other than the operator.
2. Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for
small children.
4. 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.
5. Keep children away from hot or running engines. They can suffer
burns from a hot muffler.
6. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a power
mower. Children 14 years old and over should read and
understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this
manual and should be trained and supervised by a parent.
Service
SafeHandlingOfGasoline:
1. To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in
handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when
gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.
2. Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
3. Use only an approved gasoline container.
4. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away
from your vehicle before filling.
5. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from
a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
6. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not
use a nozzle lock-open device.
7. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
8. Never fuel machine indoors because flammable vapors will
accumulate in the area.
9. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or
running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before
refueling.
10. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch below
bottom of filler neck to provide for fuel expansion.
11. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
12. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move
unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.
13. Never store the machine or fuel container near an open flame,
spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater, furnace
,clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
14. To reduce fire hazard, keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other
debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel
soaked debris.
15. Allow a mower to cool at least 5 minutes before storing.
GeneralService:
1. Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly gas.
2. Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade
and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended
starting.
3. Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness. Also, visually inspect blade for damage
(e.g., bent, cracked, worn) Replace blade with the original
equipment manufacture's (O.E.M.) blade only, listed in this
manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safetyF
4. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or wear
gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.
5. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is
in safe working condition.
6. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation
regularly.
7. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground against the engine. Thoroughly
inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage before
starting and operating the mower.
8. Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height adjustment
while the engine is running.
9. Grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail shield are
subject to wear and damage which could expose moving parts or
allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection, frequently
check components and replace immediately with original
equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in this
manual. "Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safetyF
10. Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the
engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating
speed of the engine.
11. Maintain or replace safety labels, as necessary.
12. Observe proper disposal laws and regulations. Improper
disposal of fluids and materials can harm the environment.

comprendre toutes les instructions qui figurent sur la machine et
darts la notice d'utilisation avant de la mettre en marche.
Famitiarisez-vous avec les commandes et les conseils
d'utilisation de la machine avant de vous en servir. Conservez
cette notice d'utilisation a un endroit sQr pour toute consultation
ulterieure et pour commander des pieces de rechange.
2. Cette machine motorisee est un outil de precision, pas un jouet.
Soyez par consequent toujours tres prudent. Le seul r61ede
cette machine est de tondre le gazon. Ne I'utilisez jamais darts
un autre but.
3. Ne permettez jamais &des enfants de moins de 14 ans de se
servir de la machine. Des adolescents plus &ges doivent life la
notice d'utilisation, bien comprendre le fonctionnement de la
machine et respecter les consignes de securite. IIs doivent
apprendre & utiliser la machine et s'en servir sous la surveillance
etroite d'un adulte. Seules des personnes mQres ayant pris
connaissance des consignes de securite doivent 6tre autorisees
utiliser cette machine.
4. Examiner soigneusement la zone de travail. Ramassez tousles
pierres, b&tons, fil metalliques os, jouets et autre objets qui
pourraient vous trebuchez ou qui risque d'6tre ramasses et
projetes par la lame. Les objets projetes par la machine peuvent
causer des blessures graves. Prevoyez de travailler en evitant
de projeter I'herbe vers des rues, des trottoirs, des spectateurs,
etc. Evitez d'ejecter I'herbe en direction d'un mur ou d'un
obstacle. De cette fa£on, les debris eventuels ne risque pas de
ricocher et de blesser quelqu'un.
5. Pour eviter tout risque de contact avec la lame ou de blessure
par un projectile, eloignez les enfants, passants et autres a au
moins 75 pieds de la tondeuse pendant qu'elle fonctionne.
Arr_tez la machine si quelqu'un s'approche.
6. Portez toujours des lunettes de securite en utilisant la machine
ou en effectuant un reglage ou une reparation. Un objet peut en
effet 6tre projete, ricocher et vous blesser aux yeux.
7. Portez des chaussures robustes & semetle epaisse et des
v6tement bien ajustes.Une chemise et un pantalon qui protegent
les bras et les jambes et des chaussures & bout d'acier sont
recommandes. N'utilisez jamais la tondeuse si vous _tes pieds
nus ou si vous portez des sandales ou des tennis.
8. Ne placez jamais vos mains ou vos pieds pros d'une piece en
mouvement ou sous le plateau de coupe. La lame peut amputer
mains et pieds.
9. L'absence du clapet de la goulotte d'ejection ou un clapet
endommage peut causer des blessures en cas de contact avec
la lame ou projeter des objets.
10. De nombreuses blessures se produisent Iorsque latondeuse
passe sur le pied a la suite d'une chute. Ne retenez pas la
tondeuse si vous tombez. L&chez immediatement leguidon.
11. Ne tirez jamais la tondeuse vers vous en marchant. S'il faut faire
reculer la tondeuse pres d'un mur d'un autre obstacle, regardez
d'abord par terre et derriere vous, puis procedez comme suit:
a. Eloignez-vous de la tondeuse & bout de bras.
b. Assurezvotre stabilite.
c. Reculez la tondeuse lentement et d'une demi-longeur
de bras seulement.
d. Repetez selon les besoin.
12. N'utilisez jamais la tondeuse en etat d'ebriete ou si vous prenez
des medicaments ralentissant les reactions.
13. Degagez le dispositif d'auto-propulsion ou I'embrayage
d'entrafnement, le cas echeant, avant de faire demarrer le
moteur.
14. La poignee de commande de la lame est un dispositif de
securite. Ne tenez jamais de contourner son r61e. Ceci emp6che
le dispositif de securite de fonctionner correctement et peut
causer des blessures en cas de contact avec la lame. La
poignee de commande de la lame dolt bouger facilement dans
les deux sens et revenir automatiquement a la position non
eclenchee quand on la I_che.
15. N'utilisezjamais la tondeuse si le gazon est mouille. Soyez
toujours bien en equilibre. Faites attention de ne pas glisser et
de ne pas tomber pour eviter des blessures graves. Si vous
estimez que vous perdez votre equilibre, I_cher la poignee de
commande de la lame immediatement et la lame arr6tera de
tourner darts trois secondes.
16. Utilisez la tondeuse seulement darts la lumiere du jour ou darts
la bonne lumiere artificielle. Marchez, ne courrez pas. Arr6tez la
lame avant de traverser des allees, trottoirs ou chemins
recouverts de gravier.
17. Si la machine commence &vibrer d'une maniere anormale,
arr6ter le moteur et cherchez-en immediatement la cause. En
general, toute vibration indique un probleme.
18. Arr_tez le moteur et attendez que la ou la lame se soit
immobilisee avant de detacher le sac & herbe ou de deboucher
la goulotte. La lame continue a toumer pendant quelques
secondes apres que le moteur s'est eteint. Ne placezjamais

ne soyez sQrs que la lame a arr_te de tourner.
19. N'utilisez jamais la tondeuse sans avoir I'abattant de protection
arri_re, la goulotte d'ejection, un sac & herbe, la poignee de
commande de la lame ou d'autres dispositifs de securite
appropriee, en place et qui fonctionnent correctement. N'utilisez

Utilisationsurunepente
Les accidents provoques par tomber et de glisser, qui se produisent
souvent sur des pentes, peuvent causer des blessures graves.
Travailler sur un terrain en pente demande des precautions
supplementaires. Si vous ne sentez pas a I'aise sur la pente, n'y
travaillez pas. Par mesure de securite utilisez I'inclinometre fourni
dans la notice d'utilisation pour mesurer la pente du terrain avant de
commencer a travailler. Si selon I'inclinometre, la pente est
superieure a 15°, n'utilisez pas la tondeuse pour eviter toute blessure
grave.
A FAIRE:
1. Travailler parallelement a la pente, jamais perpendiculairement,
Faites tres attention en changeant de direction sur une pente.
2. Faites attention aux trous et ornieres. La machine peut se
retourner sur un terrain accident& Des herbes hautes peuvent
cacher des obstacles.
3. Verifier toujours votre equilibre. Vous risquez de glisser et de
tomber et de vous blesser grievement. Si vous sentez que vous
allez perdre votre equilibre, I&chez immediatement le guidon, et
la lame arr6tera de tourner dans trois secondes.
P,NEPASFAIRE:
1. Ne tondez pas pres d'une falaise ou d'un talus. Le conducteur
peut facilement perdre I'equilibre.
2. Ne tondez pas sur une pente superieure a 15° selon
I'inclinom_tre.
3. Ne tondez pas de I'herbe mouillee. La traction reduite peut
provoquer un derapage.
Enfant
Un accident grave risque de se produire si le conducteur n'est pas
toujours vigilant en presence d'enfants. Les enfants sont souvent
attires par la machine et la tonte de I'herbe. IIs ne comprennent pas
les dangers. Ne supposez jamais qu'ils vont rester la oQ vous les avez
VUS.
1. ¢loignez les enfants de la zone de travail et placez-les sous la
surveillance d'un adulte autre que le conducteur de la machine.
2. Restez vigilant et arr6tez la machine si des enfants s'approchent
de la zone de travail.
3. Regardez toujours derriere vous et par terre avant de reculer et
en reculant.
4. Faites tres attention en approchant d'angles morts, de buissons,
d'autres objets qui peuvent g_ner votre visibilit&
5. Tenir des enfants loin de moteurs chauds ou tournants. IIs
peuvent subir des brQlures graves d'un silencieux chaud.
6. Ne permettez jamais &des enfants de moins de 14 ans d'utiliser
la tondeuse. Des adolescents _ges de 14 ans ou plus doivent
lire la notice d'utilisation, bien comprendre le fonctionnement de
la machine et respecter les consignes de securit& tls doivent
apprendre & utiliser la machine et s'en servir sous la surveillance
etroite d'un adulte.
ENTRETIEN
ManipulationdeI'essence:
1. Pour eviter toute blessure ou deg&t materiel, faites tres attention
en manipulant de I'essence. IIs'agit d'un produit extr_mement
inflammable et les vapeurs risquent d'exploser. Vous pouvez
6tre grievement blesse si des eclaboussures sur votre peau ou
sur vos v_tements s'enflammaient.
2. Rincez votre peau et changez immediatement de v6tements.
3. Remissez le carburant dans des bidons homologues seulement.
4. Ne faites jamais le plein dans un vehicule, ni & I'arriere d'une
camionette dont le plancher est recouvert d'un rev6tement en
plastique. Placez toujours les bidons par terre et loin de votre
vehicule avant de les remplir.
5. Dans le mesure du possible, dechargez I'equipement motorise
de la remorque et faites le plein par terre. Si cela n'est pas
possible, faites le plein avec un bidon plut6t que directement de
la pompe a essence.
6. Maintenez le gicleur en contact avec le bord du reservoir
d'essence ou avec I'ouverture du bidon jusqu'& ce que le plein
soit termin& N'utilisez pas un gicleur equipe d'un dispositif de
blocage en position ouverte.
7. Eteignez toute cigarette ou pipe, tout cigare ou toute autre
chaleur incandescente.
