2.1 Children and Bystanders

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children or bystanders.

• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children, and pets.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your vision of a child or bystander. Keep children, bystanders, helpers and pets at least 100 feet (30m) from the mower while it is in operation. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.
• Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a power mower. Operators 14 years old and over should fully read and understand the operator's manual and safety rules. Only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use this machine.

2.2 General Operation

• Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety before assembling or operating this machine. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manuals before operation.
• Familiarize yourself with the controls and proper use of this machine before operation. Save this manual for future and regular reference.
• Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Your lawn mower has been designed to perform only one job: cut grass.
• Don't force the lawn mower, it will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
• Don't overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times. Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your footing, release the control handle immediately and the blade will stop rotating within three seconds.
• 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 you to avoid tripping, and then follow these steps:
  • Step back from the mower in order to fully extend your arms.
  • Be sure that you are well balanced.
  • Pull the mower back slowly.
• Before and while moving backwards with the mower, look behind and down for small children and other people.
• Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Stay alert and watch what you are doing at all times. Use common sense and do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired.
• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your eyes. Thrown objects that ricochet can cause serious injury to the eyes. Always use a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
• Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can amputate hands and feet.
• Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against walls or obstructions, which may cause discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator.
• To help avoid the blade or an injury from a thrown objects, stay in the operator zone behind the handles.
• A missing or damaged discharge cover can cause blade contact or injuries from thrown objects.
• Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing.
• Stop the blade when crossing gravel drives, walks or roads.
• If lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these steps:
  • Release the bail switch to disengage the motor.
  • Remove the battery.
  • Inspect for damage.
  • Repair and damaged parts before restarting and operating the lawn mower.
• Dress properly, do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught in moving parts. Use of safety gloves and proper footwear is recommended when working outdoors. 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 lightweight (e.g., canvas) shoes.
• Avoid dangerous environments, do not use the lawn mower in damp/wet locations or if it is raining.
• When not in use the mower should be store in a dry and locked location. Always remove the battery from the mower before storing.
• Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. Walk, never run while operating.
• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, immediately stop the motor, remove the battery and check for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning that the machine is not functioning properly.
• Before cleaning the machine, unclogging or removing the grass bag, mulching insert, or side discharge chute, turn the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop, then remove the battery pack. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never perform these functions until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating.
• Keep cutting edges clean and sharp to ensure best performance.
• Periodically inspect safety devices and cords for damage. If damaged do not operate the unit until it has been repaired by an authorized service professional.
• Never operate the mower without the proper discharge cover, grass bag, mulching insert, side discharge chute, or other safety devices in place and working. Never operate the mower with damaged safety devices. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
• Use only the following approved batteries and chargers. Non approved batteries and chargers may cause damage to the mower or injure the operator.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cells could catch fire or explode. Check with local codes and waste management for proper disposal instructions.
• Do not open or mutilate the battery. Electrolytes contained within the battery are corrosive and may cause damage to eyes or skin if released. It may be toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns if contact with said materials is made.

2.3 Slope Operation

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.

Do:

• Mow across the face of slopes; never mow up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Do not:

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees, as shown on the slope gauge.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.

2.4 Service/Maintenance

• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight in order to ensure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Never do anything to interfere with the intended function of a safety device or to reduce the protection provided by a safety device.
• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build up. Allow machine to cool before storing.
• Never make any adjustments or repairs with the motor running.
• Always remove battery pack from mowers before adjusting, cleaning, or repairing.
• Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary.
• Mower blades are sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing.
