B
WARNING
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break,
and pieces of the damaged blade can become
dangerous projectiles.
Thrown objects can cause serious injury.
Inspect the blade(s) regularly, and do not
operate the mower with a worn or damaged
blade.
The Distributor’s Limited Warranty (page 52) does not cover parts
damaged by accident or collision.
Gravel and Loose Objects
Gravel, loose stones, and landscaping material can be picked up by
the mower and thrown many feet with enough force to cause serious
personal injury and/or property damage. The best way to prevent
potential injury from thrown objects is to release the flywheel brake
lever to stop the blade before reaching areas with gravel, loose
stones, or landscaping material.
MOWING TIPS

Grasses and lawn conditions vary greatly, so Harmony II models can
use a number of standard and optional blades. Use this chart to help
