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.
