DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

clamped in place, debris could be thrown out of

the side opening.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Thrown debris can cause serious personal

injury or death to the operator or bystanders.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•Always ensure that either the side opening

cover is closed and locked in place by the side

cover clamp or that the side discharge chute is

securely seated in place before starting the lawn

mower.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

•Thrown objects may result if the discharge

door does not close completely.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•Thrown objects can cause serious personal

injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•If the discharge door cannot be closed because

grass clippings clog the discharge area, stop the

engine and gently move the discharge door

handle back and forth until the door can be

closed completely. If door still cannot be closed,

remove the obstruction with a stick; not your

hand.

opening as shown in Figure 6.

The bag door latches should straddle the door handle,

and the bag rod hook should be in front of the handle

bracket.

when handle is released. If debris prevents discharge door

from locking closed, clean inside of discharge tunnel and

door thoroughly.

1. Stop engine and pull wire off spark plug. Remove key

from switch (key start models).

2. Remove fuel tank cap. Use a pump-type syphon to

drain fuel into a clean gas can.

Note: This is the only procedure recommended for

draining fuel.

3. Tip mower on side; refer to mower’s Operator’s

Manual for proper side to use. Avoid rotating blade

because starting problems may result.

4. Remove dirt and grass clippings that stick to housing

with a hardwood scraper. Avoid burrs and sharp edges.

5. Turn mower upright.

6. Remove debris from inside of discharge tunnel.

7. Refill fuel tank.
