under the edge of the mower and it'll knock out the grass quickly.

If you still think raising the mower while it's running is a good idea,
you'd better get your points in now while you still have enough fingers
to type, and eyes that can still see the screen. Not only do I "not
agree due to safety reasons", I think it's downright reckless and
stupid.

Thank you for your flame of sorts and insightful response:

1- I do not raise the mower to rinse, its sitting on the ground running
with
the water running from a nozzle into the exit chute;

2- my face, hands, fingers & feet etc are not anywhere close to the exit
chute;

3- who said anything about touching the blade etc? Whats that got to do
with rinsing? I'm not about to remove it just to clean under theresigh.

4- your response should have been directed towards the gentleman who was
asking about cleaning under a mower instead of calling me 'stupid and
reckless' for doing it the way I do. Note I did mention some wouldn't
agree
for safety reasons, thus one has an option and a choice. Thank
you..............

And... *IF* there's an accident cleaning that way, I just mark one down for
darwin cleaning the gene pool a bit.

I can only assume that if a person has attained a reasonable age without
dying yet, that they can spray some water at a running mower without
touching the moving bits.
