DANGER
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid,
which is poisonous and can cause severe
burns. Swallowing electrolyte can be fatal or
if it touches skin can cause severe burns.
• Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and
rubber gloves to protect skin and clothing
when handling electrolyte.
• Do Not swallow electrolyte.
• In the event of an accident, flush with
water and call a doctor immediately.
CAUTION
If the ignition is in the "ON" position there
is potential for sparks and engagement
of components. Sparks could cause an
explosion or moving parts could accidentally
engage causing personal injury.
Be sure ignition switch is in the "OFF"
position before charging the battery.
• Keep all guards, shields and all safety devices in
place and in safe working condition.
• Check all bolts frequently to maintain proper
tightness.
• Frequently check for worn or deteriorating
components that could create a hazard.
WARNING
Removing standard original equipment parts
and accessories may alter the warranty, traction,
and safety of the machine. Failure to use original
Exmark parts could cause serious injury or
death. Making unauthorized changes to the
engine, fuel or venting system, may violate EPA
and CARB regulations.
Replace all parts including, but not limited to,
tires, belts, blades, and fuel system components
with original Exmark parts.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid
accidentally injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor
familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may
result.
• If equipped, make sure all hydraulic fluid
hoses and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to hydraulic system.
• Keep body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper, not your hands, to
find hydraulic leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system by placing the motion control levers
in neutral and shutting off the engine before
performing any work on the hydraulic system.
WARNING
Fuel system components are under high
pressure. The use of improper components can
result in system failure, gasoline leakage and
possible explosion.
Use only approved fuel lines and fuel filters for
high pressure systems.
