Safety
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.
