This mower is designed to be operated at full
throttle to give you the best cut and do the most
effective job of bagging the cut grass.
Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire,
or other objects which could damage lawn mower
or engine. For best results, do not mow when lawn
is excessively wet.
IMPORTANT
If you strike a foreign object, stop
the engine. Remove wire from spark
plug, thoroughly inspect the mower
for any damage, and repair the
damage
before restarting and
operating the mower.
