SAFETY

Do not change the settings of governors and avoid

running the engine with overly high engine speeds.

If you run the engine too fast, you risk damaging

the machine components.
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 chassis 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.
Stop to inspect the equipment if you run over or

into anything. If necessary, make repairs before

starting.
Never make adjustments with the engine running.

The machine is tested and approved only with the

equipment originally provided or recommended by

the manufacturer. Only use approved repair parts

for the machine.
The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and

gashes. Wrap the blades or use protective gloves

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

Adjust and service as necessary.
The mulch blades should only be used in familiar

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. Allow the machine to cool before

putting it in storage.
