Follow A Safety Program
Avoid Injury From Fire And Explosion
Set the parking brake, shut the mower and tractor
engine down and remove the key while fi lling the fuel
tank. Use extra caution when fueling a hot engine.
Never smoke while fueling. Avoid sparks by grounding
the fuel nozzle against the fi ller neck.
The fumes in an empty fuel tank are explosive. Never
weld or cut on fuel lines, tanks or containers.
Remove all trash or mowing debris from the machine
daily or as needed. Keep debris away from engine,
exhaust, slip clutches and other heat sources. Use
spark arrestors, as appropriate, on the engine exhaust
system. Make sure oily rags or other fl ammable material
are not stored on the machine.
Check for fuel, oil or hydraulic fl uid leaks. Repair the
leaks and clean the machine before you operate it.
Ether/cold start fl uid is fl ammable. Do not smoke
when using ether/cold start fl uid. Always follow the
instructions on the can and in the manufacturer’s
operator’s manual(s) for your mower. Do not use ether/
cold start fl uid if the engine is equipped with a glow plug
or other type of preheater.
Always use a nonfl ammable solvent when you
clean parts. Do not use gasoline, diesel fuel or other
fl ammable fl uids.
Store all fl ammable fl uids and materials away from your
machine and work area.
Know where fi re extinguishers are kept—how
they operate—and what type of fi re they are for.
Check readiness of fi re extinguishers according to
manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure each tractor is
equipped with a fi re extinguisher.
