WARNING

FIRE HAZARDS (continued):
To prevent fire or explosion, keep sparks and open flames
away from battery.
Keep electrical connections clean and tight. Inspect them
often. Loose connections and corrosion increase fire risk.
Before disconnecting the negative ground cable, make sure
all switches are off. This decreases the chance of sparking
and fire.
Use care when backing to avoid pushing the grass
bags into the frame or “hot” exhaust muffler of the
engine. Fire could result.
To prevent fire and explosion caused by static electricity:
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.
When practical, remove fuel powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is
not possible, refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser
nozzle.
If a fuel dispenser nozzle must be used, keep the
nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete.
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Failure to observe the following safety instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
