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 & 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
