After Operation
After Operation Safety
General Safety
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting units,
drives, mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires.
Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
Shut off the fuel while storing or transporting the
machine.
•
Disengage the drive to the attachment whenever
you are transporting or not using the machine.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or on other appliances.
Towing Safety
•
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed
for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except
at the hitch point.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for
weight limits for towed equipment and towing
on slopes. On slopes, the weight of the towed
equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of
control.
•
Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
•
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop
when towing.
