Safe Handling of Gasoline

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

1.Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

2.Use only an approved fuel container.

3.DO NOT remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine run- ning. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

4.DO NOT refuel the machine indoors.

5.DO NOT store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

6.DO NOT fill fuel containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place the contain- ers on the ground away from the vehicle before filling.

7.Remove gas-powered equipment from the vehicle or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel equipment using a portable container, rather than a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

8.DO NOT start gas powered equipment in enclosed vehi- cles or trailers.

9.Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. DO NOT use a nozzle lock-open device

10.If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediate-

ly.

11.Never overfill a fuel tank. Replace fuel cap and tighten securely.

Operation

1.Mount and dismount machine from left side. Keep clear of discharge opening at all times.

2.Start engine from operator’s seat, if possible. Make sure blades are OFF and parking brake is set.

3.DO NOT leave machine with engine running. STOP engine, STOP blades, SET brake, and Remove key before leaving operators position of any reason.

4.DO NOT operate machine unless properly seated with feet on feet rests or pedal(s).

5.STOP BLADES and ENGINE and make sure blades have stopped before removing grass catcher or unclogging mower to prevent loss of fingers or hand.

6.Blades must be OFF except when cutting grass. Set blades in highest position when mowing over rough ground.

7.Keep hands and feet away from rotating blades under- neath deck. DO NOT place foot on ground while BLADES are ON or machine is in motion.

8.DO NOT operate machine without entire grass catcher or guards in place and working. DO NOT point discharge at people, passing cars, windows or doors.

9.Slow down before turning.

10.Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roadways.

11.STOP engine immediately after striking an obstruction. Inspect machine and repair damage before resuming opera- tion.

12.Operate machine only in daylight or with good artificial light.

13.Move joystick (if equipped) SLOWLY to maintain control during speed and directional changes.

14.Exercise CAUTION when pulling loads. Limit loads to those you can safely control and attach loads to hitch plate as specified with SNAPPER attachment instructions.

15.On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control. When towing, travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

16.DO NOT operate engine in enclosed areas. Engine exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poison.

17.DO NOT discharge material against a wall or obstruc- tion. Material may ricochet back towards the operator.

18.Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer. See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories.
