specified in this manual. Excessively high tire
pressure may result in explosion, which may lead
to physical accidents.
11.2. If a cut is found in a tire and the cut reaches the
cords, do not use it. Such a tire may explode.
11.3. Before replacing or repairing tires, tubes, or rims,
consult your dealer ahead of time. Such operation
should be performed by trained mechanics.
12. BEFORE STORING THE FRONT MOWER
12.1. After opeation, be sure to close the fuel cock
to prevent fuel from spilling, as spilled fuel may
catch fire.
12.2. Never allow grass or leaves to accumulate
around heated parts such as the engine and the
muffler, or this may cause a fire.
12.3. Be sure to remove the ignition key to prevent
unexpected accidents caused by engine starting
by untrained persons or children.

deck attached, be sure to lower the mower deck
on the ground. Otherwise manipulation of the lift
lever by untrained person or children may cause
unexpected accidents.

sufficient illumination. Inspection and moving
of the front mower in a dark place may lead to
unexpected accidents.
12.6. When the front mower is to be stored in a closed
place like a garage or a barn, provide sufficient
ventilation for exhaust gases. Exhaust fumes can
be lethal.

battery, and fuel storage area free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
12.8. Never cover a hot front mower just after operation
with a tarpaulin or the like, or the heated engine
and related parts may cause a fire.
