SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A. General
1.
Read this Operator's Manual before starting the mower. Study the
controls and learn the proper sequence of operation.
2.
Do not allow anyone to operate or maintain this machine who has
not read this manual. Never permit children to operate this
machine.
3.
Never carry passengers.
4.
Do not remove any shields, guards or safety devices. If a shield,
guard or safety device is damaged or does not function, repair or
replace it before operating the mower.
5.
Always wear safety glasses and safety shoes when operating or
maintaining this mower. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing.
6.
Disconnect the spark plug wires or remove the key from the ignition
to prevent the engine from accidentally starting before performing
any maintenance on this mower.
7.
Never run the engine indoors without adequate ventilation. Exhaust
fumes are deadly.

To avoid serious burns, do not touch the engine, exhaust pipe or
muffler while the engine is running or until it has cooled after it has
been shut off.
9.
The liquid in the battery is dilute sulfuric acid. Always wear safety
glasses and rubber gloves when working on the battery. Do not
overfill the battery.
10.
Lead-acid batteries generate hydrogen and oxygen gases which
form an explosive mixture. Keep sparks and flames away at all
times.
11.
When looking for oil leaks, never run your hand over hydraulic
hoses, lines or fittings. Never tighten or adjust hydraulic hoses,
lines or fittings while the system is under pressure. If high-pressure
oil penetrates the skin, the oil must be removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or serious complications
may result.
