Retaining Walls, Drop-offs, and Water
Retaining walls and drop-offs around steps and water are
a common hazard. Give yourself a minimum of two mower
widths of clearance around these hazards and hand-trim with
a walk behind mower or string trimmer. Wheels dropping
over retaining walls, edges, ditches, embankments, or into
water can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury,
death, or drowning.
Overhead Obstacles
Check for overhead clearances before driving under any
objects. Do not allow the roll bar to contact low overhanging
obstacles such as tree branches and guide wires.
Fuel and Maintenance
Always disengage all drives, shutoff the engine, and remove
the key before doing any cleaning, refueling, or servicing.
CNG and vapors are extremely ammable. Do not smoke
while operating or refueling. Do not add fuel while engine
is hot or running. Allow engine to cool for at least 3 minutes
prior to adding fuel.
Do not add fuel indoors, in an enclosed trailer, garage, or any
other enclosed area that is not well ventilated.
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance
of your unit. Keep the unit free of grass, leaves, and excess
oil. Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in
this manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.
Enclosed Areas
Only operate this unit outdoors and away from unventilated
areas such as inside garages or enclosed trailers. The en-
gine emits poisonous carbon monoxide gas and prolonged
exposure in an enclosed area can result in serious injury or
death.
