SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Safe Handling of Gasoline

1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other

sources of ignition.

2. Use only approved gasoline containers.

3. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine

running.  Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

4. Never fuel the machine indoors.

5. Never store the machine or fuel container where there

is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as near a

water heater or other appliance.

6. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed

with a plastic bed liner.  Always place containers on

the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground.  If this is not possi-

ble, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a

portable container, rather than from a gasoline dis-

penser nozzle.

8. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or

container opening at all times until fueling is com-

plete.  Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

9. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immedi-

ately.

10. Never over-fill the fuel tank.  Replace gas cap and

tighten securely.

11. Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels.

They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

12. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but

move the machine away from the area of spillage and

avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors

have dissipated.

13. Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps se-

curely.

Service & Maintenance

1. Never run the unit in an enclosed area where carbon

monoxide fumes may collect.

2. Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade attachment

bolts, tight and keep equipment in good condition.

3. Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly and make necessary repairs if

they are not functioning properly.

4. Keep unit free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-

up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. and remove any fuel-

soaked debris.  Allow machine to cool before storage. 

5. If you strike an object, stop and inspect the machine.

Repair, if necessary, before restarting.

6. Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine

running.

7. Check grass catcher components and the discharge

guard frequently and replace with manufacturer’s rec-

ommended parts, when necessary.

8. Mower blades are sharp.  Wrap the blade or wear

gloves, and use extra caution when servicing them.

9. Check brake operation frequently.  Adjust and service

as required.

10. Maintain or replace safety and instructions labels, as

necessary.

11. Do not remove the fuel filter when the engine is hot

as spilled gasoline may ignite.  Do not spread fuel line

clamps further than necessary.  Ensure clamps grip

hoses firmly over the filter after installation.

12. Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL, gasohol

containing more than 10% ETHANOL, gasoline addi-

tives, or white gas because engine/fuel system dam-

age could result.

13. If the fuel tank must be drained, it should be drained

outdoors.

14. Replace faulty silencers/mufflers.

15. Use only factory authorized replacement parts when

making repairs.

16. Always comply with factory specifications on all set-

tings and adjustments.

17. Only authorized service locations should be utilized

for major service and repair requirements.

18. Never attempt to make major repairs on this unit un-

less you have been properly trained. Improper service

procedures can result in hazardous operation, equip-

ment damage and voiding of manufacturer’s warranty.

19. On multiple blade mowers, take care as rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

20. Do not change engine governor settings or over-

speed the engine.  Operating the engine at excessive

speed can increase the hazard of personal injury.

21. Disengage drive attachments, stop the engine, re-

move the key, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s)

before: clearing attachment blockages and chutes,

performing service work, striking an object, or if the

unit vibrates abnormally.  After striking an object, in-

spect the machine for damage and make repairs be-

fore restarting and operating the equipment.

22. Never place hands near the moving parts, such as a

hydro pump cooling fan, when the tractor is running.

(Hydro pump cooling fans are typically located on top

of the transaxle).

23. Units with hydraulic pumps, hoses, or motors: WARN-

ING: Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure may

have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause seri-

ous injury.  If foreign fluid is injected into the skin it

must be surgically removed within a few hours by a

doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene

may result.  Keep body and hands away from pin

holes or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high

pressure.  Use paper or cardboard, and not hands, to

search for leaks.  Make sure all hydraulic fluid con-

nections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines

are in good condition before applying pressure to the

system.  If leaks occur, have the unit serviced imme-

diately by your authorized dealer.

24. WARNING: Stored energy device.  Improper release

of springs can result in serious personal injury.

Springs should be removed by an authorized techni-

cian.

25. Models equipped with an engine radiator: WARNING:

Stored energy device.  To prevent serious bodily injury

from hot coolant or steam blow-out, never attempt to

remove the radiator cap while the engine is running.

Stop the engine and wait until it is cool.  Even then,

use extreme care when removing the cap.
