Service
The use of non-genuine replacement parts
or accessories could adversely affect
machine operation and safety.
DO NOT change engine governor setting or
overspeed the engine.
Park machine on level ground. NEVER allow
untrained personnel to service machine.
Disconnect battery or remove spark plug
wire before making any repairs. Disconnect
the negative terminal first and the positive
last. Reconnect positive first and negative
last.
Keep all parts in good working condition and
all hardware tightened. Replace all worn or
damaged decals.
Keep unit free of debris. Clean up oil or fuel
spillage.
ALWAYS block wheels and know all jack
stands are strong and secure and will hold
weight of unit during maintenance. Use jack
stands to support components when
required.
Carefully and slowly release any pneumatic
or hydraulic pressure from components with
stored energy.
ALWAYS keep body and hands away from
pin holes or nozzles which eject hydraulic
fluid under pressure.
NEVER attempt to make any adjustments or
repairs to unit while engine is running
(except where specifically recommended).
Disengage drives, lower implement, engage
parking brake, stop engine and remove key
or disconnect spark plug wire. Wait for all
moving parts to stop and for hot surfaces to
cool before adjusting, cleaning or repairing
unit.
Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts. If possible, DO NOT make
adjustments with the engine running.
Lower cutting deck unless a positive
mechanical lock is used.
Allow engine to cool before servicing.
Moving parts can cut or amputate fingers or
a hand. On multiblade mowers, rotation of
one blade will cause all blades to rotate.
Use care when checking blades. Wrap the
blade(s) or wear gloves and use caution
when servicing them. Replace damaged
blades. NEVER straighten or weld blades.
Transporting Unit
Use care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
Use full-width ramps for loading machine
into trailer or truck.

securely using straps, chains, cable, or
ropes. Both front and rear straps should be
directed down and outward from the
machine.
DO NOT transport machine while engine is
running.
ALWAYS turn off power to attachment and
shut off fuel valve (if equipped) when
transporting unit.
Storage
NEVER store unit with fuel in fuel tank inside
a building where any ignition sources are
present.
Clean grass and debris from cutting units,
drives, mufflers, and engine to help prevent
fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Let engine
cool before storing and DO NOT store near
flame.
Shut off fuel valve (if equipped) while storing
or transporting. DO NOT store fuel near
flames or natural gas appliances and DO
NOT drain fuel indoors.
For extended storage, shut off fuel valve (if
equipped) and clean unit thoroughly. See
engine manual for proper storage.
