areas. Engine exhaust contains poisonous emissions and can cause

serious injury or death.

Use Proper Clothing & Equipment

• Before starting the unit, equip yourself and any other person

working within the 15 M (50 ft.) Safety Zone with the required

Protective Equipment and clothing.

AvoidHotSurfaces

• During operation, the muffler or catalytic muffler and surrounding

cover may become extremely hot. Avoid contact during and immedi-

ately after operation. Always keep exhaust area clear of flammable

debris. Allow the engine and muffler to completely cool before

performing any maintenance activity.

Keep A Firm Grip

• Hold the front and rear handles with both hands with thumbs and

fingers tightly encircling the handles

Keep A Solid Stance

• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on

slippery, uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd

positions or on ladders. Do not over reach.

• Never adjust blade angle of HCA while standing.

• Only adjust cutting angle with HCA resting flat on the ground, with

the switch in the "STOP" position.

• Adjust cutting angle by moving locking lever (A) up. Depress blade

indexing lever (B) and change blade angle with rear cutter assembly

handle. Release indexing lever into notch. Move locking lever down

to completely engage internal gears.

IMPORTANT

Lever (A) does not secure gearbox angle setting. Moving lever in

the down position reduces internal play in the gear box. Do not

over tighten nut (C) to insure gear box angle setting tightness

because damage to internal gears will occur. If the lever is loose or

very tight adjust nut (C) for snug 90° movement.
