OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
(CONT'D)
ROTATING BLADES
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO THE DISCHARGE
CHUTE FOR ANY REASON!
11. Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and
moving parts. Contact can injure.
12. DO NOT operate without the side discharge chute
installed and in the down position.
13. DO NOT direct the discharge of material toward
bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while
in operation.
14. If the cutting blades should strike a solid object or the
equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble. Check the machine for damaged
or defective parts. Repair any damage before
starting the engine or operating the cutter deck. Be
sure the blades are in good condition and the blade
bolts are tight.
15. Take all possible precautions when leaving the
machine unattended, such as disengaging the mower,
stopping the engine, and removing the key.
CAUTION:
DO NOT touch the engine or the muffler while
the engine is running or immediately after
stopping. These areas may be hot enough to
cause a burn.
DO NOT run the engine inside a building or a
confined area without proper ventilation. Exhaust
fumes are hazardous and contain carbon monoxide
which can cause brain injury and death.
16. DO NOT operate the machine under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.
17. Use care when loading or unloading the machine
onto a truck or trailer.
18. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
19. Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. See the engine operator's
manual for information on engine settings.
20. Never leave the machine running unattended.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. Allow only trained personnel to service the machine.
2. Park the machine on level ground.
3. Never make adjustments to the machine with the
engine running unless specifically instructed to do so.
If the engine is running, keep hands, feet, and
clothing away from moving parts.
4. Disengage drives, lower implement, stop engine and
remove key or disconnect spark plug wire(s) to
prevent accidental starting of the engine when
servicing or adjusting the machine. Wait for all
movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or
repairing.
5. If the mower must be tipped to perform maintenance
or adjustment, remove the battery, drain the gasoline
from the fuel tank and the oil from the crankcase.
6. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight, to ensure the
machine is in safe working condition. Check the
blade mounting bolts frequently to be sure they are
tight. Replace all worn or damaged decals.
7. Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up
oil or fuel spillage.
8. The engine must be shut off before checking the oil
or adding oil to the crankcase.
