SAFETY

as needed.

Prevent Fires

•Remove grass and debris from engine compartment and muffler area, before and after operating machine, especially after mowing or mulching in dry conditions.

•To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and engine compartment free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

•Clean up oil or fuel spillage.

•Allow engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

•Never remove fuel cap, or add fuel with engine running or hot. Allow engine to cool for several minutes.

•Never store equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

•Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting machine.

Tire Safety

Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death:

•Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

•Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

•When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and not in front of or over the tire assembly.

•Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Handling Fuel Safely

Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable:

•Do not refuel machine while you smoke, when machine is near an open flame or sparks, or when engine is running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.

•Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running.

•Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.

•Never fill fuel tank or drain fuel from a machine in an enclosed area. Fill fuel tank outdoors.

•Prevent fires. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately. Do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.

•Do not store fuel in container or machine with fuel in tank in a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

•Prevent fire and explosion caused by static electric discharge. Use only non-metal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM). If using a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen or filter.

Safety - 5

SAFETY

The seller of the chemical products used with your machine is responsible for providing the MSDS for that product.

•Static electric discharge can ignite gasoline vapors in an ungrounded fuel container. Remove the fuel container from the bed of a machine or trailer or the trunk of a car and place on the ground away from the machine before filling. Keep nozzle in contact with container opening while filling. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

•When practical, remove equipment from trailers or truck beds and refuel them on the ground. If this is not possible, use a portable, plastic fuel container to refuel equipment on a truck bed or trailer.

•For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol. Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environment.

Handling Waste Product and Chemicals

Waste products, such as, used oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, and batteries, can harm the environment and people:

•Do not use beverage containers for waste fluids - someone may drink from them.

•See your local Recycling Center or authorized dealer to learn how to recycle or get rid of waste products.

•A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides specific details on chemical products: physical and health hazards, safety procedures, and emergency response techniques.
