SERVICE (continued):

•

Never run a mower inside a closed area. The exhaust fumes are

toxic.

•

Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and

keep equipment in good condition.

•

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation

regularly.

•

Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris buildup. Clean

up oil or fuel spillage. Allow mower to cool before storing.

•

Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object. Repair,

if necessary, before restarting.

•

Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running

unless otherwise specified.

•

Grass catcher components are subject to wear, damage and

deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects

to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with

original equipment parts, when necessary.

•

Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

•

Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent burns avoid contact

with skin, eyes and clothing. To prevent a fire or explosion keep

sparks and open flames away from battery.

•

Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable, make sure all

switches are OFF.
