O PERATION OF E QUIPMENT
1. DANGER: GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. DO NOT ADD FUEL
WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR IS HOT. KEEP OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS, AND HEAT
AWAY FROM THE FUEL AND STORE FUEL IN CONTAINERS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
FOR THAT PURPOSE. ADD FUEL OUTDOORS ONLY AND IF THE .FUEL IS SPILLED, DO
NOT START THE ENGINE. MANUALLY PUSH THE MOWER AWAY FROM THE SPILL AND
IMMEDIATELY WIPE UP.
2. DANGER: GASES EMITTED BY A CHARGING BATTERY ARE EXPLOSIVE. KEEP HEAT,
SPARKS AND OPEN FLAMES AWAY FROM A CHARGING BATTERY.
3. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect. Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless, and can be fatal.
4. Mow only in daylight.
5. Make sure the mower is in neutral and the blades are disengaged before attempting to start the
engine.
6. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill. Never use riding attachments on slopes since
there is an increased risk that they might roll over.
7. Avoid steep slopes and use extreme caution when changing directions or speed when operating on
a slope.
8. Be extremely careful when operating on a slope or when the grass is damp or wet. Reduced
traction could cause sliding. Never mow by pulling the mower back towards you as you might slip.
9. Watch for traffic when crossing surfaces other than grass (i.e. transporting), loading a trailer or
vehicle, or when the mower is not in use.
10. Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields, or without the safety devices securely
mounted in place.
11. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the mower while in
operation.
12. Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed th
e engine.
13. Always stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even for a moment.
14. To help reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep the engine and the area around the engine free of
grass, leaves, or any other type of foreign material.
15. Beware of cutting edges. Always wear gloves for safety when performing blade maintenance
activities. Beware on multiple blade units since the rotation of one blade may cause the rotation of
the other blades.
16. Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid since fluid escaping
under pressure may have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. If foreign fluid
is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with
this form of injury. Always use paper or cardboard and not hands to search for leaks.
