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.
Never work with the starter circuit if there is spilled •
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.
Never use the machine indoors or in spaces •
lacking proper ventilation. The exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide, an odorless,
poisonous, and lethal gas.

•
over or into anything. If necessary, make repairs
before starting.

when handling them.
Check the parking brake’s functionality regularly.

•
areas when higher quality mowing is desired.

•
and other debris that may have accumulated on
the machine.
