5. Never douse or hose the tractor with water. Avoid getting any liquid in the
motors and electrical connections. Clean the tractor after each use. Refer to
cleaning and storage. Do not use solvents or strong detergents.
6. To reduce fire hazard, keep the motor(s) free of grass, leaves and debris
build-up.
7. Periodically check to make sure the blade(s) come(s) to complete stop within
(5) five seconds after operating the blade on/off button. If the blade(s) do not
stop within the this time frame, your tractor should be serviced professionally
by an authorized service dealer.
8. Check brake operation frequently as it is subjected to wear during normal
operation. Adjust and service as required.
9. Check the blade(s) and mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness. Also, visually inspect blade(s) for damage (e.g., excessive
wear, bent, cracked). Replace the blade(s) with the original equipment
manufacturer's (O.E.M.) blade(s) only. "Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!"
10. Tractor blade(s) are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra
caution when servicing them.
11. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
12. Never tamper with the safety interlock system or other safety devices. Check
their proper operation regularly.
13. After striking a foreign object, stop the tractor, remove the key and thoroughly
inspect the tractor for any damage. Repair the damage before operating the
tractor.
14. Never attempt to make adjustments or repairs to the tractor while the power
key is ON.
15. Grass catcher components and the discharge cover are subject to wear and
damage which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For
safety protection, frequently check components and replace immediately
with original equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only. "Use of parts
which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to
improper performance and compromise safety!"
16. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
17. This product has an

operation. At the end of the
annually by an authorized service dealer to ensure that all mechanical and
safety systems are working properly and not worn excessively. Failure to do
so can result in accidents, injuries or death.
18. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with
local codes for proper disposal instructions.
19. Do not touch the motor(s). These parts can get hot from operation, even after the
tractor is turned off.
20. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with
conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or
conductor may be hot and cause burns.
21. For continued protection against risk of injury or electric shock, do not
replace blown fuses. Please call authorized service personnel.
General Electric Safety
1. Do not expose the tractor to rain or wet conditions.
2. Do not handle the tractor with wet hands.
3. Do not operate the tractor in the rain, in wet conditions or on wet surfaces.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with grounded
conductors, such as metal pipes or wire fences.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
of seven (7) years, or 270 hours of
Average Useful Life have the tractor inspected
5. Do not operate the tractor in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Battery Charger Safety
Only use a Delta-Q battery charger (model # IC650-048-CAN/part #
950-0004 or model # IC650-048-COMMD/part # 950-0007) (OEM part# 725-
07253 or part# 725-07253A) to charge batteries. DO NOT attempt to charge
any other batteries with a Delta-Q battery charger. Other types of batteries
may burst, causing fire, personal injury or property damage.
1. A nameplate on the charger indicates the voltage used. Never connect the charger to
an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
2. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
3. Do not use multiple extension cords
4. Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the current drawn by
the charger. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in a loss of power and overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
MINIMUM WIRE SIZE FOR EXTENSION CORDS FOR 120 VOLT APPLIANCES USING 0-6
Cord Length (ft.) 25
Wire Size (AWG) 16
5. Make sure the cords are in good condition. Inspect the power cord and extension
cord periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. If a
cord is damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the cord from both
the outlet and the charger. Do not use a damaged cord. Damaged cords should be
repaired or replaced.
6. Do not abuse cords. Never pull or carry the charger by a cord. Keep cords
away from heat, oil, water, sharp edges, and moving objects. Always grasp
the plug when disconnecting a cord.
7. Never modify a plug, cord or outlet in any way.
8. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the
circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used with this charger. For an extra measure of safety, use
receptacles with built-in GFCI protection.
9. Do not place the battery charger where cords might be stepped on, tripped
over or subjected to damage.
10. Do not charge batteries in the rain or in wet conditions. Keep the battery
charger in a cool and dry area.
11. Keep the battery charger away from all liquids.
12. Do not allow small metal items or material such as steel wool, aluminum foil or
other foreign particles into the charger port.
13. Do not probe the charger with conductive material. There is a risk of electric
shock.
14. Do not cover the battery charger. The battery charger may overheat.
15. Do not allow the battery or battery charger to overheat. If they are warm,
allow them to cool down. Only charge batteries in temperatures between
32° and 104° F (0° and 40° C).
16. Always unplug the battery charger when it is not in use.
Battery Safety
1. Do not expose the battery to fire or to temperatures over 176º F (80º C).
Doing so could cause an explosion.
