equipment is to be used. Remove all
stones, sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other
foreign objects which could be picked up
and thrown by the blade(s). Thrown ob-
jects can cause serious personal injury.
• Plan your mowing pattern to avoid dis-
charge of material toward roads,
sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against a wall
or obstruction which may cause dis-
charged material to ricochet back toward
the operator.

gles during operation and while performing
an adjustment or repair to protect your
eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can
cause serious injury to the eyes.

close-fitting slacks and shirts. Loose fitting
clothes and jewelry can be caught in mov-
able parts. Never operate this machine in
bare feet or sandals.

discharge direction and do not point it at
anyone. Do not operate the mower without
the discharge cover or entire grass catcher
in its proper place.

parts or under the cutting deck. Contact
with the blade(s) can amputate hands and
feet.
• A missing or damaged discharge cover
can cause blade contact or thrown object
injuries.
• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel
drives, walks, or roads and while not cut-
ting grass.
