Before performing machine maintenance, park on a level
surface, set the parking brake, fully lower cutting units,
shut off the engine and remove the key from the ignition
switch. If the engine must be running to perform
maintenance or adjustment, stay clear of moving parts. If
engine has been operating shortly before maintenance has
begun, avoid engine, muffler, turbo-charger and radiator
as they may be hot enough to cause injury.
