fixed parts of the machine Use care when checking
blades. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use
caution when servicing them. Only replace blades.
Never straighten or weld them.
• On multi-reel or blade machines, take care as rotating
one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
• Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking
brake and stop engine. Wait for all movement to stop
before adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
• Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or
fuel spillage.
• 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.

CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning - Diesel engine
exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other
reproductive harm.
• Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper
operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch
before operating the machine.
• Using the machine demands attention. To prevent loss
of control:
- Do not drive close to sand traps, ditches, creeks, or
other hazards.
- Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Avoid sudden
stops and starts.
- When near or crossing roads, always yield the right-of-
way.
- Reduce foward pedal movement when going downhill to
keep forward speed slow and to maintain control of the
machine.
• Do not touch the engine, muffler, hydraulic components,
or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or soon after
it has stopped because these areas could be hot enough
to cause burns.
• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
injury.
• Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic sytem, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine and lowering the cutting
units and attachments to the ground.
