b) connect the negative or ground cable (-) from the negative post on the
booster battery to any engine deck ground, preferably the engine block as
far away from the battery as possible.
c) disconnect battery cables in the reverse order after starting.
For engine maintenance, follow the engine manufacturer's recommendations
precisely as stated in the engine manual.
Disconnect the battery cable from the negative battery post when the unit will be
allowed to sit for more than 30 days without use.
Allowing batteries to stand for an extended period of time without recharging
them will result in reduced performance and service life. To preserve optimum
battery performance and life, recharge batteries in storage when the open circuit
voltage drops to 12.4 volts.
Note: To prevent damage due to freezing, battery should be fully charged before
putting away for winter storage.
Keep engine, engine area, and hydraulic pump area free from accumulation of
grass, leaves, excessive grease, or oil and other debris, which can accumulate in
these areas. These materials can become combustible and may result in a fire.
Store fuel in a container specifically designed for this purpose in a cool, dry place.
Keep the mower and fuel container in locked storage to prevent children from
playing or tampering with them.
Gasoline powered equipment or fuel containers should not be stored in a basement
or any enclosed area where open pilot lights or heat appliances are present.
Maximum mowing results and safety can only be achieved if the mower is
properly maintained and operated correctly.
Check all bolts frequently to maintain proper tightness.
Keep all guards, shields and all safety devices in place and in safe working condition.
Frequently check for worn or deteriorating components that could create a hazard.
All replacement parts must be the same as or equivalent to the parts supplied as
original equipment.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin and cause injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Fluid accidentally injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses and lines are in
good condition an all hydraulic connections and fittings
are tight before applying pressure to hydraulic system.
♦ Keep body and hands away from pinhole leaks or
nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid.
♦ Use cardboard or paper, not your hands, to find
hydraulic leaks.
♦ Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system by
placing the motion control levers in neutral and
shutting off the engine before performing any work on
the hydraulic system.
