For Gasoline models, obtain the
Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
. Read it and understand it
before continuing. Follow the engine manual for break-in instructions.
Use the correct cutters for the job. Be sure cutter drum is balanced, the number, size and type of cutter
wheels are correct.
Be sure all fasteners are tight and secure, check for signs of metal cracking or fatigue, inspect for
damage to electrical wiring, damage to fuel lines, check bearings, etc.
Be sure all guards are in place.
Inspect work area to determine the presence and location of deck inserts, pipes, columns and objects

Electrical Powered Equipment
For Electric Models - Electric motors must be properly grounded at all times. Check the
outlet box to be sure the electrical service is properly grounded. Be sure adequate power is
available. Insufficient power will cause a motor to overheat and burn out.
Use only grounded extension cords correctly sized for the current draw and voltage drop (amp rating and
length). Never use frayed, damaged, taped or under rated extension cords.
Electrical shock could result in death or serious injury to the operator and damage
to the equipment.
Extreme care must be taken when operating electric models with water present: Ensure power cord is
properly grounded, is attached to a Ground-Fault-Interrupter (GFI) outlet, and is undamaged.
Check all electrical cables - be sure connections are tight and cable is continuous and in good condition.
Be sure cable is correctly rated for both the operating current and voltage of this equipment.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with qualified electrician or service person if there is any doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Adhere to
all local codes and ordinances.
