• Engine components become hot during
operation and can cause a burn. Allow to cool
down before touching.
• Before "jump starting" a dead battery, read and
follow all of the instructions.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire on the rim. This
should be done by a qualified person with
proper equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do
not inflate tires above the recommended
pressure shown in the operator’s manual.
• Securely support the tractor when changing
wheels or the wheel tread width.
• Make sure that wheel bolts have been
tightened to the specified torque.
• To avoid sparks from arcing, always discon-
nect the battery’s negative cable first and
connect it last.
• Disconnect negative cable from battery before
working on or near electrical components.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep the tractor free of
any debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
• Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make
certain all moving parts have stopped. Keep all
nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and
service as required.
• Observe proper disposal laws and regulations.
Improper disposal of fluids and materials can
harm the environment and the ecology.
• Prior to disposal, determine the proper method
to dispose of waste from your local
Environmental Protection Agency. Recycling
centers are established to properly dispose of
materials in an environmentally safe fashion.
• Use proper containers when draining fluids. Do
not use food or beverage containers that may
mislead someone into drinking from them.
Properly dispose of the containers immediately
following the draining of fluids.
• DO NOT pour oil or other fluids into the ground,
down a drain or into a stream, pond, lake or
other body of water. Observe Environmental
Protection Agency regulations when disposing
of oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, batteries,
tires and other harmful waste.
• We do not recommend the use of a pressure
washer or garden hose to clean your unit. They
may cause damage to electrical components;
spindles; pulleys; bearings; or the engine. The
use of water will result in shortened life and
reduce serviceability.
