DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by
putting your foot on the ground.
DO NOT park on slopes unless necessary.
When parking on slopes ALWAYS chock or
block wheels. ALWAYS set parking brake.
Choose a low ground speed so you will not
have to stop or shift whilst on a slope.
DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. The machine could suddenly
roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if
the edge caves in.
DO NOT bypass transmission or allow
transmission to free-wheel when on a slope.
Fuel
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
use extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is
extremely flammable and the vapors are
explosive.
Ethanol blends must not exceed E10. Higher
ethanol content may cause your
machine to run hotter and damage your
engine.
Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilt
fuel before starting engine.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and
other sources of ignition.
Use only an approved fuel container.
NEVER store the machine or fuel container
where there is an open flame, spark or pilot
light such as on a water or space heater or
other appliances.
NEVER fill containers inside a vehicle or on
a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner.
ALWAYS place containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
NEVER fuel the machine indoors.
NEVER remove fuel cap or add fuel with the
engine running. Allow engine to cool before
fueling.
Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are
explosive. Handle with care. Use only an
approved fuel container with an
appropriately-sized dispensing spout.
NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames.
Remove fuel-powered equipment from the
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is
not possible, then refuel such equipment
with a portable container, rather than from a
fuel dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of
the fuel tank or container opening at all
times until the fueling is complete. DO NOT
use a nozzle lock-open device.
NEVER overfill fuel tank. Replace fuel cap
and tighten securely.
If fuel is spilt on clothing, change clothing
immediately.
Towing
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
for weight limits for towed equipment and
towing on slopes.
NEVER allow children or others in or on
towed equipment.
Tow only with a machine that has a hitch
designed for towing. DO NOT attach towed
equipment except at the hitch point.
On slopes, the weight of the towed
equipment may cause loss of traction and
loss of control.
Travel slowly and allow extra distance to
stop.
Accessories
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation
for wheel weights or counterweights
Check the discharge guard frequently and
replace with the manufacturer’s
recommended parts, when necessary.
Use only Stiga-recommended attachments
that are appropriate to your use and can be
used safely in your application.
Batteries
Avoid electric shock. Objects contacting
both battery terminals at the same time may
result in injury and unit damage. DO NOT
reverse battery connections.
Reverse connections may result in sparks
which can cause serious injury. ALWAYS
connect positive (+) lead of charger to
positive (+) terminal, and negative (-) lead to
negative (-) terminal.
ALWAYS disconnect negative (-) cable
FIRST and positive (+) cable SECOND.
ALWAYS connect positive (+) cable FIRST,
and negative (-) cable SECOND.
Explosive gases from a battery can cause
death or serious injury. Poisonous battery
fluid contains sulfuric acid and its contact
with skin, eyes or clothing can cause severe
chemical burns.
