PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATING

Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, toys, and other foreign
objects which could be tripped over or picked up and thrown
by the blade(s). Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury.
2. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, stay in
the operator zone behind the mower handles. Keep helpers
at least 75 feet (23 meters) from the mower while it is in
operation. Keep bystanders, children and pets inside while
the mower is in operation. Stop mower if anyone enters the
area.
3. Be aware of the mower and attachment discharge direction
and do not point the mower discharge at anyone.
4. Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation and while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect your eyes. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause
serious injury to the eyes.
5. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting slacks
and shirts. Loose fitting clothes, jewelry and long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Shirts and pants that cover the arms
and legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended.
6. Never operate mower in bare feet, sandals, slippery or light-
weight (e.g. canvas) shoes.
7. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than 1” (2.5 cm)
below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.
8. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
9. Use only accessories and attachments approved for this
mower by the mower manufacturer. Read, understand and
follow all instructions provided with the approved accessory
or attachment.

involved in a large percentage of mower-related injuries.
These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the
mower safely enough to protect themselves and others from
serious injury.
2. Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled
over the foot during a fall caused by slipping or tripping. Do
not hold on to the mower if you are losing your balance or
footing; immediately release the handle.
3. Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking.
If you must back the mower away from a wall or obstruction

I got this mower for $25 at Tractor Supply. Why does my mower not start? When I pull the rope the flywheel (top) and blades (bottom) spin but it feels like there is no compression. Valves are good, rods are good, and piston head shows to be good. I haven’t gotten down into the motor to check the piston rod I wanted to see if that would be it before I tear it down
