SAFETY

TRANSPORTATION:

Use a heavy duty trailer to haul mower. Set park brake, turn off fuel valve and strap mower to trailer. NOTE: Park brake will not hold mower in place when transporting. Be sure to tie down the mower to the trailer. Always back onto the trailer to prevent possible tipover.

1.Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to keep mower in safe operating condition.

2.Engine maintenance should comply with engine manufactures specifications. See the engine manual for specifications.

3.Never store the mower with gas in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame or spark.

4.To reduce the risk of fire, keep the mower free of grass, leaves and excessive grease or

oil.

5.Have your mower inspected and serviced each year by an authorized Yazoo/Kees dealer.

6.Use only authentic Yazoo/Kees replacement parts to insure the safety and quality of your mower is maintained.

7.Safety decals should be replaced if they are missing or illegible. Decals can be purchased from your Yazoo/Kees dealer.

8.The hydraulic system including all hoses and fittings should be checked frequently for wear or leaks. Never check for leaks with your hands, use a piece of cardboard or wood. Hydraulic oil under pressure could be injected into your body and must be surgically removed within a few hours.
