SAFETY
TRANSPORTATION:
Use a heavy duty trailer to haul mower. Set park brake, turn off fuel valve and strap mower to
trailer. NOTE: Park brake will not hold mower in place when transporting. Be sure to tie down
the mower to the trailer. Always back onto the trailer to prevent possible tipover.
1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to keep mower in safe operating condition.
2. Engine maintenance should comply with engine manufactures specifications. See the
engine manual for specifications.
3. Never store the mower with gas in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an
open flame or spark.
4. To reduce the risk of fire, keep the mower free of grass, leaves and excessive grease or oil.
5. Have your mower inspected and serviced each year by an authorized KEES dealer.
6. Use only authentic KEES replacement parts to insure the safety and quality of your mower
is maintained.
7. Safety decals should be replaced if they are missing or illegible. Decals can be purchased
from your KEES dealer.
8. The hydraulic system including all hoses and fittings should be checked frequently for wear
or leaks. Never check for leaks with your hands, use a piece of cardboard or wood. Hydraulic
oil under pressure could be injected into your body and must be surgically removed within a
few hours.
