•Never use the mower indoors or in spaces lacking proper ventilation. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous, and lethal gas.
•Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over or into anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.
•The machine is tested and approved only with the equipment originally provided or recommended by the manufacturer.
•The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and gashes. Wrap the blades or use protective gloves when handling them.
•The mulch blades should only be used in familiar areas when higher quality mowing is desired.
•Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves, and other debris that may have accumulated on the machine. Allow the machine to cool before putting it in storage.
Transport
•The machine is heavy and can cause serious crushing injuries. Be extra cautious when it is loaded on or unloaded from a vehicle or trailer.
•Use an approved trailer to transport the mower. Fasten the machine with approved fastening devices, such as straps, chains, or ropes, when transporting.
