SAFETY
Charge batteries in an open, well-ventilated area, away
from sparks. Unplug battery charger before connecting or
disconnecting from the battery. Wear protective clothing
and use insulated tools.
Do not modify machine or safety devices. Unauthorized
modifications may impair its function and safety.
Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
MIF
Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical
damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses and lines
regularly. Replace damaged hoses and lines.
Hydraulic fluid connections can loosen due to physical
damage and vibration. Check connections regularly.
Tighten loose connections.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect
hands and body from high-pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any
fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors
unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a
knowledgeable medical source.
Prevent Fires
Remove grass and debris from engine compartment
and muffler area, before and after operating machine,
especially after mowing or mulching in dry conditions.
To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and engine
compartment free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
Allow engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
Never remove fuel cap, or add fuel with engine running
or hot. Allow engine to cool for several minutes.
Never store equipment with fuel in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
Tire Safety
MIF
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death:
Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
