SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a
doctor immediately.
• Be careful when servicing the battery. Explosive
gases form in the battery. Never perform
maintenance on the battery whe smoking or
near open flames or sparks. The battery can
explode and cause serious injury/damage.
• Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments, are
properly tightened, torqued and that the
equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly
to be sure it works properly. The machine must
not be driven with defective or unmounted
protective plates, protective cowlings, safety
switches, or other protective devices.
• Do not change the settings of governors and
avoid running the engine with overly high engine
speeds. If you run the engine too fast, you risk
damaging the machine components.
• Sparking can occur when working with the
battery and the heavy cables of the starter
circuit. This can cause battery explosion, fire or
eye injury. Sparking in this circuit can not occur
after the chassis cable (normally negative, black)
is removed from the battery.
• Use protective goggles.
• Ensure that the fuel filler cap is mounted tightly
and no flammable substance is stored in an
open vessel.
• Never work with the starter circuit if there is
spilled fuel.
• Disconnect the chassis cable from the battery
first and reconnect it last.
• Do not make a bridge short circuit across the
starter relay to run the starter.
• Never use the machine indoors or in spaces
lacking proper ventilation. The exhaust fumes
contain carbon monoxide, an odorless,
poisonous, and lethal gas.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over
or into anything. If necessary, make repairs
before starting.
