Sparking can occur when working with the battery
and the heavy cables of the starter circuit. This can
cause battery explosion, fire or eye injury. Sparking
in this circuit can not occur after the chassis cable
(normally negative, black) is removed from the battery.

Use protective goggles.

Ensure that the fuel filler cap is mounted tightly

and no flammable substances are stored in an
open vessel.

fuel.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery

first and reconnect it last.
Do not make a bridge short circuit across the

starter relay to run the starter.

gashes. Wrap the blades or use protective gloves
when handling them.

areas when higher quality mowing is desired.
Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves,

and other debris that may have accumulated on
the machine.

storage.
Regularly clean deck and underside of deck,
