SAFETY
Safety Alert Symbol
This symbol means: ATTENTION! BECOME
ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
The safety alert symbol appears above
information which alerts you to unsafe actions
or situations and will be followed by the word
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
DANGER: White lettering/Red
background.
Indicates failure to observe the safety
instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Black letters on orange
background.
Indicates failure to observe safety instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Black letters on yellow
background.
Indicates failure to observe the safety
instructions may result in death or serious
injury.
TRAINING
•Read the instructions carefully. Become
familiar with the safe operation of the
equipment, operator controls, and safety
signs.
•All operators need to be trained before
operating this unit.
•Never let children or untrained people
operate the equipment without proper
instruction.
•Keep everyone, especially children and
pets, away from the area of operation.
Remember that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
PREPARATION
•Evaluate the terrain to determine what
accessories and attachments are needed to
properly and safely perform the job. Use
only accessories and attachments approved
by WORLDLAWN
•The use of personal protective equipment,
such as (but not limited to) safety glasses,
hearing protection, substantial footwear and
long trousers is highly recommended.
CAUTION
This machine produces sound levels in
excess of 85 dBA at the operator’s ear and
can cause hearing loss through extended
periods of exposure.
Wear hearing protection when operating this
machine.
•Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
stones, sticks, wires, bones, and other
foreign objects which may damage the
equipment or cause personal injury to
operator or bystanders.

•Check that the operator’s presence controls,
safety switches, and shields are attached
and functioning properly. Do Not operate
unless they function properly.
DANGER
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others and cause property damage.
•Refuel outdoors, on level ground while
engine is cold.
•Never remove fuel cap or add fuel when
engine is running or when engine is hot.
•Never fill the fuel tank so that gasoline level
rises above the bottom of the filler neck to
allow for gasoline expansion and prevent
fuel spillage.
•If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the
engine. Move away from the area of the
spill and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
•Do not smoke while refueling and stay away
from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by spark.
•Do not operate without entire exhaust
system in place and in proper working
condition.
•Do not place any equipment that is leaking
gasoline in an enclosed trailer.
•Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage
containers have proper caps installed to
prevent spillage and minimize vapor
escaping into the trailer.
DANGER
In certain conditions during fueling, static
electricity can be released causing gasoline
vapors to ignite.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
•Purchase and store gasoline only in an
approved container
•Always place gasoline containers on the
ground away from your vehicle while filling.
•Do not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the loss
of any static charge.
•When practical, remove gas powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and
refuel the equipment with its wheels on the
ground.
•If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, rather than from a
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
•If a gasoline dispenser nozzle must be
used, keep the nozzle in contact with rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until fueling is complete.
WARNING
Gasoline is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Long-term exposure to vapors and failure to
use caution may cause serious injury or
illness.
•Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors.
•Keep face away from nozzle and gas
tank/container opening.
•Keep away from eyes and skin.
•Never siphon by mouth.

OPERATION
Although hazard control and accident
prevention are partially dependent upon the
design and configuration of the equipment,
these factors are also dependent upon the
awareness, concern and proper training of the
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and the storage of the equipment.
It is essential that all Operator Safety
Mechanisms be connected and in operating
condition prior to use for mowing.
WARNING
Operating engine parts, especially the
muffler, become extremely hot. Severe
burns can occur on contact and debris,
such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch
fire.
•Allow engine parts, especially the
muffler, to cool before touching.
•Remove accumulated debris from
muffler and engine area.
WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
which is an odorless deadly poison that can
kill you.
Do Not run engine indoors or in a small
confined area where dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes can collect.
•Operate only in daylight or good artificial
light, keeping away from holes and hidden
hazards.
•Be sure all drives are in neutral and parking
brake is engaged before starting engine.
•Never raise deck with blades running.
•Never operate the mower with damaged
guards, shields, or covers. Always have
safety shields, guards, switches and other
devices in place and in proper working
condition.
•Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop and engage parking brake:
oBefore refueling
oBefore dumping the grass catcher
oBefore making height adjustments
•Park machine on level ground. Stop
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
remove key and engage parking brake:
oBefore checking, cleaning or working
on the mower.
oAfter striking a foreign object or
machine develops an abnormal
vibration (inspect machine for
damage and repair before resuming
operation)
oBefore clearing blockages
oBefore leaving the operator position
•Never mow with the discharge deflector
raised, removed or altered unless there is a
grass collection system or mulch kit in place
and working properly.
•Do Not change the engine governor setting
or over speed the engine.
