Before Operation
Before Operation Safety
General Safety
• Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety signs.
• Check that all guards and safety devices, such as doors and/or grass catchers, are in place and working properly.
• Always inspect the machine to ensure that the blades, blade bolts, and cutting assembly are not worn or damaged.
• Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that the machine could throw.
• Adjusting the cutting height may bring you into contact with the moving blade, causing serious injury.
– Shut off the engine, remove the ignition key
(electric-start model only), and wait for all moving parts to stop.
– Do not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height.
Fuel Safety
DANGER
Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, place the container and/or machine directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not handle fuel when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.
• Store fuel in an approved container and keep it out of the reach of children.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors can cause serious injury and illness.
• Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
• Keep your hands and face away from the nozzle and the fuel-tank opening.
• Keep fuel away from your eyes and skin.
Filling the Fuel Tank
• For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher
((R+M)/2 rating method).
• Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
• Do not use ethanol blends of gasoline, such as E15 or E85, with more than 10% ethanol by volume. Performance problems and/or engine damage may result, which may not be covered under the warranty.
• Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or in fuel containers over the winter unless fuel stabilizer has been added to the fuel.
• Do not add oil to gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded regular gasoline from a major name-brand service station.
Important: To reduce starting problems, add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline all season. Mix the stabilizer with gasoline less than 30 days old.

• Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.
Do not cut below 51 mm (2 inches) unless the grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth begins to slow down.
• When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall, mow at the highest cutting height setting and walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting for the best lawn appearance. If the grass is too long, the machine may plug and cause the engine to stall.
• Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard and can cause the machine to plug or the engine to stall. Avoid mowing in wet conditions.
16
• Be aware of a potential fire hazard in very dry conditions, follow all local fire warnings, and keep the machine free of dry grass and leaf debris.
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps disperse the clippings over the lawn for even fertilization.
• If the finished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory, try 1 or more of the following:
– Replace the blades or have them sharpened.
– Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
– Raise the cutting height on your machine.
– Cut the grass more frequently.
– Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full swath with each pass.
Cutting Leaves
• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more than a single pass over the leaves.
• If there are more than 13 cm (5 inches) of leaves on the lawn, mow at a higher cutting height and then again at the desired cutting height.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the machine does not cut the leaves finely enough.
3.
Lower the machine to its lowest cutting-height setting. Refer to
.

Attach a hose to the washout fitting, and turn the water on high (
).
Note: Spread petroleum jelly on the washout fitting O-ring to make the coupling slide on easier and protect the O-ring.
