Maintenance and Storage
•
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
•
Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
•
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer/muffler, battery compartment and fuel storage
area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.
•
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration.
•
Keep all parts in good working condition and all
hardware and hydraulic fittings tightened. Replace all
worn or damaged parts and decals.
•
If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
•
Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and
fixed parts of the machine.
•
On multi-spindle mowers, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
•
Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key and disconnect spark
plug wire. Wait for all movement to stop before
adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
•
Clean grass and debris from cutting units, drives,
silencers/mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires.
Clean up oil or fuel spillage.
•
Use jack stands to support components when required.
•
Carefully release pressure from components with stored
energy.
•
Disconnect battery and remove spark plug wire before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal
first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and
negative last.
•
Use care when checking the cylinders/reels. Wear
gloves and use caution when servicing them.
•
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If
possible, do not make adjustments with the engine
running.
•
Charge batteries in an open well ventilated area, away
from spark and flames. Unplug charger before
