key when the mower is not in use. Remove the battery when making any adjustments or when any of

the four wheels must be lifted off the ground.

clean. Mower blades are sharp, and can cut. Wrap the blades or wear gloves, and use extra caution

when servicing.

condition.

8. Never tamper with safety devices. Check them regularly for proper operation.

9. After striking a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the safety key. Thoroughly inspect the

mower for any damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower.

10. Lawn mower components are subject to wear and damage, which could expose moving parts or

allow objects to be thrown. As a safety precaution, frequently check components and replace those

that show signs of wear or damage.
