Towing
1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. DO NOT attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point,
2. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
3. DO NOT allow children or others on towed equipment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
6. Exercise CAUTION when pulling loads. Limit loads to
those you can safely control and attach loads to hitch
plate as specified in the attachment instructions.
Maintenance Safety
1. DO NOT store machine or fuel container inside where
fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light
such as in a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or
other gas appliance. Allow engine to cool before stor-
ing machine in an enclosure. Store fuel container out
of the reach of children in a well ventilated, unoccu-
pied building.
2. Keep engine free of grass, leaves or excess grease to
reduce fire hazard and engine overheating.
3. When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an approved
container outdoors and away from open flame.
4. Always provide adequate ventilation when running
engine. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly poison.
5. Disconnect negative (black) cable from battery before
performing maintenance or service. Cranking engine
could cause injury.
6. DO NOT work under machine without safety blocks.
7. Service engine and make adjustments only when em
gine is stopped. Remove spark plug wire(s) from spark
plug(s) and secure wire(s) away from spark plug(s).
8. DO NOT change engine governor speed settings or
overspeed engine.
9. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades
or wear heavy leather gloves and use CAUTION when
handling them.
10. DO NOT test for spark by grounding spark plug next
to spark plug hole; spark plug could ignite gas exiting
engine.
