SAFETY

SAFETY - 8

ommended parts, when necessary. Grass catcher com-

ponents are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration

which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be

thrown.

Keep all nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attach-

ment bolts, to be sure the equipment is in safe working

condition.

Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service

as required.

On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

Prevent Fires

Remove grass and debris from engine compartment

and mufﬂer area, before and after operating machine,

especially after mowing or mulching in dry conditions.

Empty the grass catcher completely before storing.

Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting ma-

chine, if the machine has a fuel shutoff.

Do not store machine near an open ﬂame or source of

ignition, such as a water heater or furnace.

Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and ﬁttings frequently for

cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

Tire Safety

Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause seri-

ous injury or death:

Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equip-

ment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inﬂate

the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld

or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause

an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.

Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

When inﬂating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension

hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and

NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.

Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged

rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Handling Fuel Safely

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use

extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely ﬂam-

mable and fuel vapors are explosive:

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other

sources of ignition.

Use only an approved fuel container. Use only non-

metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Under-

writer’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for

Testing & Materials (ASTM). If using a funnel, make

sure it is plastic and has no screen or ﬁlter.

Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel with the

engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the machine in-

doors. Move machine outdoors and provide adequate

ventilation.

Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on

•

clothing, change clothing immediately. If fuel is spilled

near machine, do not attempt to start the engine but

move the machine away from the area of spillage.

Avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors

have dissipated.

Never store the machine or fuel container where there

is an open ﬂame, spark, or pilot light such as on a wa-

ter heater or other appliance.

Prevent ﬁre and explosion caused by static electric dis-

charge. Static electric discharge can ignite fuel vapors

in an ungrounded fuel container.

Never ﬁll containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or

trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers

on the ground away from your vehicle before fueling.

Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,

then refuel such equipment with a portable container,

rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank

or container opening at all times until the fueling is

complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

Never overﬁll fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and

tighten securely.

Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.

For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol.

Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environ-

ment.

Handling Waste Product and Chemicals

Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake

ﬂuid, and batteries, can harm the environment and

people:

Do not use beverage containers for waste ﬂuids -

someone may drink from them.

See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to

learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides spe-

ciﬁc details on chemical products: physical and health

hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response

techniques. The seller of the chemical products used

with your machine is responsible for providing the

MSDS for that product.
