Cleaning And Storage - Honda HT3810 Owner's Manual

l
If mowing on a sloping surface, always drive up and down the face of the
grade. Never turn or drive across the face of the slope.
l
To prevent loss of control or overturning, always reduce speed and exer-
cise extreme caution when operating on sloping or uneven surfaces.
l
Avoid turning or stopping on sloping surfaces; see page 30 for special
instructions.
i Do not back down or rapidly accelerate up a sloping surface; see page 30
for special instructions.
l
When mowing on slopes, empty the grass bags when they are half full.
On a slope, the weight of full bags may cause the mower to tip over.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
l
Leaves, grass clippings, oil and other combustible materials can become a
fire hazard. Be sure to keep the engine compartment, the upper cutter deck
surfaces and the belt and pulley areas clean.
l
Stop the engine before removing the grass bags or cleaning the discharge
chute.
l
Check the condition of the grass catcher bags frequently. For your safety,
replace any bag that is worn or deteriorated.
l
Always empty the grass catcher bags when mowing is completed.
Damp, decomposing grass clippings generate heat and can become a fire
hazard.
l
To reduce the possibility of fire, allow the engine and exhaust system to
cool before storing the mower in an enclosed space or near combustible
materials.
