SAFETY RULES V. GENERAL SERVICE • Never run a machine inside a closed area. • Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine (motor) running. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting. • Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. • Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly. Never do anything to interfere with the intended function of a safety device or reduce the protection provided by a safety device. • Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel spillage. Allow machine to cool before storing. • Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair, if necessary, before restarting. • Never attempt to make wheel height adjustments while the engine is running. • Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer's recommended parts, when necessary. • Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them. • Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine. • Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

TO REMOVE LAWN MOWER FROM CARTON • Remove all loose parts from carton. • Remove lawn mower housing with care. Avoid touching blade under housing. Always wear gloves or other protection when working under or lifting mower. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE OR OPERATE YOUR LAWN MOWER Do I have a side or rear discharge lawn mower? Look for the grass discharge opening on your mower. If the opening is on the right side of the mower housing, it is a side discharge mower. If the opening is at the back of the mower housing, it is a rear discharge mower. Only rear discharge lawn mowers have a grass catcher included with the mower. Approved grass catchers for side discharge mowers may be purchased from your nearest authorized dealer. 4 STORAGE 3 POSITION "QUICK" Operator SQUEEZE Handle pin presence control bar MOWING POSITION Handle adjustment bracket Operator presence control bar FOLD FORWARD FOR STORAGE FOLD FORWARD FOR STORAGE MOWING POSITION Upper handle Handle knob Height adjuster lever (18" Hi-Vac models only) LEVER FORWARD TO RAISE MOWER Upper handle Handle lever Lower handle Handle bolt Lower handle "QUICK-RELEASE" HANDLES You can fold your lawn mower handle for storage.
