stay away from these areas.

I. GENERAL

OPERATION

• Read, understand,
and follow all
instructions
on the machine and in the
manual(s) before starting. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the machine before starting.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Only allow responsible
individuals, who
are familiar with the instructions,
to operate the machine.
• Clear the area of objects such as rocks,
toys, wire, bones, sticks, etc., which
could be picked up and thrown by blade.
• Be sure the area is clear of other people
before mowing. Stop machine if anyone
enters the area.
• Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Always
wear substantial
foot wear.
• Do not pull mower backwards
unless
absolutely necessary. Always look down
and behind before and while moving
backwards.
• Never direct discharged
material toward
anyone. Avoid discharging
material
against a wall or obstruction.
Material
may richochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade when crossing gravel
surfaces.
• Do not operate the mower without
proper guards, plates, grass catcher or
other safety protective devices in place.
• See manufacturer's
instructions for
proper operation and installation of
accessories.
Only use accessories
approved by the manufacturer.
• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel
drives, walks, or roads.
• Stop the engine (motor) whenever you
leave the equipment,
before cleaning the
mower or unclogging the chute.
• Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until
the blade comes to complete stop before
removing grass catcher.
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial
light.
• Do not operate the machine while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Never operate machine in wet grass.
Always be sure of your footing: keep a
firm hold on the handle; walk, never run.
• Disengage the self-propelled
mechanism or drive clutch on mowers so
equipped before starting the engine.
• If the equipment
should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check immediately
for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

• Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields when operating
mower.
II. SLOPE

OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to slip &
fall accidents which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
• Mow across the face of slopes: never
up and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
• Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments.
The operator could lose
footing or balance.
• Do not trim excessively
steep slopes.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.
III. 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.
• Keep children out of the trimming area
and under the watchful care of another
responsible
adult.
• Be alert and turn machine off if children
enter the area.
• Before and while walking backwards,
look behind and down for small children.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Use extra care when approaching
blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure vision.
IV. SAFE

HANDLING

OF GASOLINE

Use extreme care in handling gasoline.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes
and other sources of ignition.
• Use only an approved container.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with
the engine running. Allow engine to cool
before refueling.
• Never refuel the machine indoors.
• Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark
or pilot light such as a water heater or on
other appliances.

• Neverfill containersinsidea vehicle, on
a truck or trailer bedwith a plasticliner.
Always place containerson the ground
awayfrom yourvehicle beforefilling.
• Removegas-poweredequipmentfrom
the truck or trailerand refuel it on the
ground. If this is not possible,then

the engine. For type and grade of oil to
use, see "ENGINE" in the Maintenance
section of this manual.

(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation
and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use flesh fuel
next season.
See Storage Instructions
for
additional information.
Never use engine

tank or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION:
DO NOT overfill engine with

Be sure lawnmower
is level.

2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
3. You receive a container of oil with the
unit. Slowly pour the entire container
down the oil fill spout into the engine.
NOTE: Initial oil fill requires only 18 oz.
due to residual oil in engine from the
manufacturers

changing oil you may need 20 oz.
4. Insert and tighten dipstick.
IMPORTANT:
• Check oil level before each use. Add oil
if needed.
Fill to full line on dipstick.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season.
You may
need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions.

MULCHING
operator

pres-

protective coatings on the
amount of smoke may be
the initial use of the product
considered
normal.

• The special mulching blade will recut
the grass clippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into
the grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly
to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always
mulch with your highest engine (blade)
speed as this will provide the best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action. The
best time to mow your lawn is the early
afternoon.
At this time the grass has
dried, yet the newly cut area will not be
exposed to direct sunlight.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower
cuts off only the top one-third of the
grass blades.
If the lawn is overgrown
it
will be necessary to raise the height of
cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep
from overloading
the engine and leaving
clumps of mulched grass. For extremely
heavy grass, reduce your width of cut
by overlapping
previously cut path and
mow slowly.

1. To start a cold engine, push primer
three (3) times before trying to start.
Use a firm push. This step is not
usually necessary when starting an
engine which has already run for a few
minutes.
2.

Hold operator presence control bar
down to the handle and pull starter
handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. In
warmer weather over priming may cause
flooding and engine will not start. If you do
flood engine, wait a few minutes before
attempting to start and do not repeat
priming steps.

TIPS
Do not use de-thatcher

attachments
are hazardous, will damage
your mower and could void your warranty.
• Under certain conditions, such as very
tall grass, it may be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from overloading
the
engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.

• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut by overlapping
previously
cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,
the engine speed should
be set in the FAST position.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use

• Certain types of grass and grass
conditions may require that an area be
mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings.
When doing a second cut, mow across (perpendicular)
to
the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. Mow north to south one week

and catchers will collect less grass. To
prevent this, regularly hose catcher off
with water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and extend
engine life.

IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose, or tank during storage. Alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation
and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while
in storage.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
• Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot
breathe, which allows condensation
to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:

I. OPERACION
• Antes de empezar, debe familiarizarse
completamente con los controles y el uso
correcto de la maquina. Para esto, debe leer
y comprender todas las instrucciones que
aparecen en la maquina yen los manuales
de operacion.
• No ponga las manos o los pies cerca o
debajo de las partes rotatorias. Mantengase
siempre lejos de la abertura de la descarga.
• Permita que solamente las personas responsables que esten familiarizadas con las
instrucciones operen la maquina.
• Despeje el area de objetos tales como piedras, juguetes, alambres, huesos, palos, etc.
que pueden ser recogidos y lanzados por las
cuchillas.
• AsegQrese que el area no se hallen personas, antes de segar. Pare la maquina si
alguien entra en el area.
• No opere la maquina sin zapatos o con
sandalias abiertas. P6ngase siempre zapatos
solidos.
• No tire de la segadora hacia atras a menos
que sea absolutamente necesario. Mire
siempre hacia abajo y hacia detras antes y
mientras que se mueve hacia atras.
• Nunca dirigir el material descargado hacia
las personas. Evitar descargar material
contra paredes o barreras. El material puede
retornar al operador. Para la cuchilla cuando
se pasa por superficies de grava.
• No opere la segadora sin los respectivos
resguardos, las placas, el recogedor de
cesped u otros aditamentos dise ados para
su proteccion y seguridad.
• Refi@ase alas instrucciones del fabricante
para el funcionamiento e instalacion de
accesorios. Use Qnicamente accesorios
aprobados por el fabricante.
• Detenga la cuchilla o las cuchillas cuando
cruce por calzadas, calles o caminos de
grava.
• Parar el motor cada vez que se abandona el
aparato, antes de limpiar la segadora o de
remover residuos del tubo.
• Apagar el motor y esperar hasta que las
cuchillas esten completamente paradas
antes de remover el receptor de hierba.
• Segar solamente con luz del dia o con una
buena luz artificial.
• No opere la maquina bajo la influencia del
alcohol o de las drogas.
• Nunca opere la maquina cuando la hierba
este mojada. AsegQrese siempre de tener
buena tracci6n en sus pies; mantenga el
mango firmemente y camine; nunca corra.
• Desconectar el mecanismo de propulsion
aut6noma o el embrague de transmision en
las segadoras que Io tienen antes de poner
en marcha el motor.
• Si el equipo empezara a vibrar de una
manera anormal, pare el motor y revise de
inmediato para averiguar la causa. Generalmente la vibracion suele indicar que existe
alguna averia.

• Siempre use gafas de seguridad o anteojos
con protecci6n lateral cuando opere la segadora.
II. OPERACION
SOBRE LAS CUESTAS
Los accidentes ocurren con mas frecuencia en
las cuestas. Estos accidentes ocurren debido a
resbaladas o caidas, las cuales pueden resultar
en graves lesiones. Operar la recortadora en
cuestas requiere mayor concentraci6n. Si se
siente inseguro en una cuesta, no la recorte.
HACER:
• Puede recortar a traves de la superficie de
la cuesta, nunca hacia arriba y hacia abajo.
Proceda con extrema precaucion cuando
cambie de direcci6n en las cuestas.
• Renueva todos los objetos extra5os, tales
como guijarros, ramas, etc.
• Debe prestar atencion a hoyos, baches o
protuberancias. Recuerde que la hierba alta
puede esconder obstaculos.
NO HACER:
• No recorte cerca de pendientes, zanjas o
terraplenes. El operador puede perder la
traccion en los pies o el equilibrio.
• No recorte cuestas demasiado inclinadas.
• No recorte en hierba mojada. La reduccion
en la traccion de la pisada puede causar
resbalones.
III. NINOS
Se pueden producir accidentes tragicos si el
operador no presta atenci6n a la presencia
de los ni5os. A menudo, los ni5os se sienten
atraidos por la maquina y por la actividad de
la siega. Nunca suponga que los niSos van a
permanecer en el mismo lugar donde los vio
por Qltima vez.
• Mantenga a los ni5os alejados del area de
la siega y bajo el cuidado estricto de otra
persona adulta responsable.
• Este alerta y apague la maquina si hay niSos
que entran al area.
• Antes y cuando este retrocediendo, mire
hacia atras y hacia abajo para verificar si hay
niSos peque5os.
• Nunca permita que los ni5os operen la maquina.
• Tenga un cuidado extra cuando se acerque
a esquinas donde no hay visibilidad, a los
arbustos, _lrboles u otros objetos que pueden
interferir con su linea de vision.
IV. MANEJO SEGURO DE GASOLINA
Usar mucha atenci6n cuando se maneja gasolina. La gasolina es extremamente inflamable y
los vapores son explosivos.
• Apagar todos los cigarrillos, cigarros, pipas y
otras fuentes de ignicion.
• Usar solo un contenedor apropiado.
• Nunca quitar el tap6n de la gasolina o a_adir
carburante con el motor en marcha. Esperar
que el motor se enfrie antes de repostar la
gasolina.

20

• Nunca repostar la maquina al interior de un
local.
• Nunca guardar la maquina o el contenedor
de gasolina donde hay una llama abierta,

la palanca de mando operador presente
abajo hacia el mango y tirando la barra de
accionamiento hasta la mango. Cuanto mas
cercano se tira la barra hacia el mango, mas

palanca del ajustador hacia la rueda. Mueva
la rueda hacia arriba o hacia abajo de modo
que se acomode a sus requisitos. Aseg0rese
que todas las ruedas queden igualmente
ajustadas.

colocado cuando las orejas de la placa estan
insertadas en el agujero del mango. Tambien,
los ajustes de 9 posiciones (si equipado) permiten que el mango pueda ser movido entre las
orejas de la placa.
