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 build-

up. 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 compo-

nents and 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.
