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

battery.

•Before disconnecting the negative (-) ground cable,

make sure all switches are OFF.
