Use only original equipment or approved sub- stitutions as service parts. If you need profes- sional service, select a shop that is an Authorized Service Center for your brand of mower.

While mowing, if you hit a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove the spark plug wire. Care- fully and thoroughly inspect the mower for damage. Make necessary repairs before re- starting. If the unit starts to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine immediately and check for the cause.
BEFORE MOWING Be sure to dress correctly. Wear hard shoes, not sandals or tennis shoes. Examine the blade. A blade that is bent, cracked, or damaged must be replaced with a factory replacement blade. Fill the fuel tank outside. Clean off spilled fuel. Read and follow the Owner’s Manual, the instructions with the engine, and the instructions with any attachments.
WARNING: Before doing any assembly or maintenance to the mower, remove the wire from the spark plug. NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right describe the location of a part with the operator standing behind the handle. UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS The mower was fully assembled at the factory.
