General Safety
•
Always shut off the machine, remove the ignition
key (if equipped), wait for all moving parts to stop,
and allow the machine to cool before adjusting,
servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the machine to help
prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
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.
•
Use full-width ramps for loading the machine into
a trailer or truck.
•
Tie the machine down securely using straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Direct both front and rear
straps down and outward from the machine.
Hauling the Machine
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all the
necessary brakes, lighting, and marking required by
the law. Carefully read all the safety instructions.

If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle
and connect the safety chains.
