• Disengage the drive to attachments when
transporting or when the machine is not in use.
• Reduce the throttle setting before stopping the
engine and, if the engine is provided with a fuel
shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of
mowing.
• Keep hands and feet away from the cutting units.
• Look behind and down before backing up to be sure
of a clear path.
• Slow down and use caution when making turns and
crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop cylinders/reels
if not mowing.
• Do not operate the mower under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Use care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
• The operator shall turn on flashing warning lights,
if provided, whenever traveling on a public road,
except where such use is prohibited by law.
• Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
Maintenance and Storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer/muffler, battery compartment fuel storage
area, cutting units and drives free of grass, leaves, or
excessive grease. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware and hydraulic fittings tightened. Replace
worn or damaged parts and decals for safety.
• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to
prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving
blades and fixed parts of the machine.
• On multi-cylinder/multi-reel machines, take care
as rotating one cylinder/reel can cause other
cylinders/reels to rotate.
• Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key. Wait for all
movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or
repairing.
• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
silencers/mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires.
Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
• Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not
store fuel near flames.
• Park the machine on level ground.
• Never allow untrained personnel to service the
machine.
• Use jack stands to support components when
required.
• Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.
• Disconnect battery before making any repairs.
Disconnect the negative terminal first and the
positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative
last.
• Use care when checking the cylinders/reels. Wear
gloves and use caution when servicing them.
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
• Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area,
away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear
protective clothing and use insulated tools.
