GENERAL OPERATION   keep a firm hold on the handle and   walk; never run.   • Read, understand, and follow all   instructions on the machine and in the   manual(s) before starting. Be thoroughly   familiar with the controls and the proper   use of the machine before starting.   • Do not put hands or feet near or under   rotating parts. Keep clear of the dis-   charge opening at all times.   • Only allow responsible adults, who are   familiar with the instructions, to operate   the machine.   • Clear the area of objects such as rocks,   toys, wire, sticks, etc., which could be   picked up and thrown by the blade.   Stay behind the handle when the motor   is running.   • Be sure the area is clear of other people   before mowing. Stop machine if anyone   enters the area.   • Do not operate the mower when bare-   foot or wearing open sandals. Always   wear substantial foot wear.   • Do not pull mower backwards unless   absolutely necessary. Always look down   and behind before and while moving   backwards.   • Never direct discharged material toward   anyone. Avoid discharging material   against a wall or obstruction. Material   may ricochet back toward the operator.   Stop the blade when crossing gravel   surfaces.   • Do not operate the mower without the   entire grasscatcher, discharge guard,   rear guard or other safety protective   devices in place and working.   • Never leave a running machine unat-   tended.   • See manufacturer’s instructions for   proper operation and installation of   accessories. Only use accessories ap-   proved by the manufacturer.   • Stop the motor when crossing gravel   drives, walks, or roads.   • Stop the motor whenever you leave the   equipment, before cleaning the mower   or unclogging the chute.   • Shut the motor off and wait until the   blade comes to complete stop before   removing grass catcher.   • Disengage the self-propelled mecha-   nism on mowers so equipped before   starting the motor.   • If the equipment should start to vibrate   abnormally, stop the motor and check   immediately for the cause.   • Vibration is generally a warning of   trouble.   • Always wear safety goggles or safety   glasses with side shields when operat-   ing mower.   II. SLOPE OPERATION   Slopes are a major factor related to slip   and fall accidents which can result in   severe injury. All slopes require extra cau-   tion.

Do not expose to rain or use in   damp locations.   To reduce the risk of electric shock, this   appliance has a polarized plug (one blade   is wider than the other) and will require the   use of a polarized extension cord.   • The appliance plug will fit into a polar-   ized extension cord only one way. If the   plug does not fit fully into the extension   cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still   does not fit, obtain a correct polarized   extension cord.   • A polarized extension cord will require   the use of a polarized wall outlet. This   plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet   only one way. If the plug does not fit fully   into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If   the plug still does not fit, contact a quali-   fied electrician to install the proper wall   outlet.   • Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t   use lawn mowers in damp or wet loca-   tions.   • Don’t Use In Rain.   • Keep Children Away – All visitors should   be kept a safe distance from work area.   • Dress Properly – Do not wear loose   clothing or jewelry.

Always wear safety   glasses or eye shields while operating your lawn mower or performing any   adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses or a wide   vision safety mask worn over spectacles.   HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER TO START   • Your lawn mower is equipped with an   operator presence control bar which   requires the operator to be positioned   behind the lawn mower handle to start   and operate the lawn mower.   CAUTION: Federal regulations require   a motor control to be installed on this   lawn mower in order to minimize the risk   of blade contact injury. Do not under   any circumstances attempt to defeat the   function of the operator control. The blade   turns when the motor is running.   • Press the start button.   • Hold down operator presence control   bar to handle.   • Mower will begin to operate.   TO STOP   • To stop motor, release operator pres-   ence control bar.   Let the blade come to a complete stop.   CIRCUIT BREAKER   This mower is equipped with a circuit   breaker in order to protect the supply   circuit from short-circuit overloads.   EXTENSION CORD RETAINER   This lawn mower is equipped with a cord   retainer in order to prevent the extension   cord from disconnecting from the power   cord while the mower is in use. The cord   retainer hangs from the cord guide bar.   NOTE: Do not plug the extension cord into   the outlet until it has been connected to the   cord retainer and plugged into the mower.   • Fold the extension cord in order to form   a tight loop near the retainer.   • Push the loop through the hole in the   retainer.   • Slide the loop over the retaining clip, and   pull down until the cord is secured.   FOLLOW THESE STEPS IF THE   CIRCUIT BREAKER POPS OUT:   • Release the operator presence control   bar and allow the mower to stop and   cool down for 5 minutes.   • After the mower has cooled down, press   the circuit breaker in order to reset it.   Resume operation.   FOLLOW THESE STEPS IF THE   CIRCUIT BREAKER POPS OUT AGAIN   SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST TIME:   • Release the operator presence control   bar and allow the mower to stop and   cool down for 15 to 30 minutes.   • After the mower has cooled down, press   the circuit breaker in order to reset it.   Resume operation.   If the circuit breaker does not stay in, or if   it continues to pop out during operation,   contact the Toll-Free Helpline at 1-800-   849-1297.   TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT   Adjust cutting height to suit your require-   ments. Medium position is best for most   lawns. Raise wheels for low cut and lower   wheels for high cut. All four wheels are   adjusted by a single lever.   • Pull adjuster lever toward wheel. To   lower mower, move lever forward to   desired position. To raise mower, move   the lever toward the rear.   8 Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Such   attachments are hazardous, will damage   your mower and could void your warranty.   Height adjuster lever   • Under certain conditions, such as when   mowing very tall grass, raise the mower   height on the first cut to reduce pushing   effort, to avoid overheating the motor,   and to avoid leaving clumps of grass   clippings. Make the second cut to the   desired height.   LEVER   • For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the   width of cut.   BACKWARD   TO RAISE   MOWER   • For side discharge operation, cut in a   counterclockwise direction, starting at   the outside of the area to be cut, in order   to spread grass clippings more evenly   and to put less load on the motor. To   keep clippings off of walkways, flower   beds, etc., make the first cuts in a clock-   wise direction.   LEVER   FORWARD   TO LOWER   MOWER   TO CONVERT MOWER   Your lawn mower was shipped ready to   be used as a mulcher. To convert to side   discharging:   • Open mulcher door and install discharge   deflector under door as shown.   • Mower is now ready for discharging   operation.   • To convert to mulching operation, dis-   charge deflector must be removed and   mulcher door must be closed.   • When using a lawn mower in moist,   heavy grass, clumps of cut grass may   not enter the grass catcher. Reduce   ground speed (pushing speed) and/or   run the lawn mower over the area a   second time.   • If a trail of grass clipping is left on the   right side of a rear discharge lawn mow-   er, mow in a clockwise direction with a   small overlap to collect the clippings on   the next pass.   • Pores in cloth grass catchers can   become filled with dirt and dust with use   and the catcher will collect less grass.   To prevent this, regularly hose catcher   off with water and let dry before use.   Open mulcher door   Discharge deflector   MULCHING MOWING TIPS   IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep   mower housing free of built-up grass and   trash. See "CLEANING" in the Mainte-   nance section of this manual.   9 Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   OPERATION   heavy grass, reduce your width of cut   by overlapping previously cut path and   mow slowly.   • The special mulching blade will recut the   grass clippings many times and reduce   them in size so that as they fall onto the   lawn they will disperse into the grass   and not be noticed. Also, the mulched   grass will biodegrade quickly to provide   nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with   your highest motor (blade) speed as this   will provide the best recutting action of   the blades.   MAX 1/3   • Certain types of grass and grass   conditions may require that an area be   mulched a second time to completely   hide the clippings. When doing a second   cut, mow across (perpendicular) to the   first cut path.   • Change your cutting pattern from week   to week. Mow north to south one week   then change to east to west the next   week. This will help prevent matting and   graining of the lawn.   • Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.   Wet grass tends to form clumps and   interferes with the mulching action.   • For best results, adjust the lawn mower   cutting height so that the lawn mower   cuts off only the top one-third of the   grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it   will be necessary to raise the height of   cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep   from overloading the motor and leaving   clumps of mulched grass.
