• During operation and immediately after operation, do not touch the
cover or the muffler. Doing so may result in burn injury.
• Immediately after operation, hydraulic oil and hydraulic parts are very
hot and may cause burn injury. Be sure to let the machine cool
sufficiently before performing maintenance.
• During operation or maintenance, rotating parts are dangerous. Do not
put hands or feet in rotating parts or touch rotating parts.
• Rocks and other obstacles may damage the reel cutter or bed knife, or
may become projectiles and cause injury. Remove them before using
the machine. If an obstacle becomes caught in the mower, stop the
engine, and then make sure that the drive parts have stopped
completely before removing the item. Check for damage to the
machine, and immediately repair any damage.
• Protective covers and belt covers prevent the user from danger.
Replace them if they are damaged, and always keep them attached in
the indicated position.
