SERVICE • The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while operating your mower or performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend a wide vision safety mask over spectacles or standard safety glasses. - Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater. Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition. Allow machine to cool before storing. • WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
