General Safety Guidelines
• Always stop the tractor, turn the engine off, put in "Park" and apply the parking
brake when making any adjustments or servicing the unit.
• Never refuel the tractor when the engine is running.
• DO NOT SMOKE WHEN REFUELING.
• Do not over fill the fuel tank. Do not fill beyond bottom of fuel filler screen. Clean off
any spilled fuel immediately.
• Keep fuel stored well away from open flames, possible sparks or sources of exces-
sively high temperatures.
• Do not ever remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, as serious burns may
result. Always check coolant level and add coolant at the overflow reservoir.
• Avoid touching a hot engine, exhaust, coolant pipes or hydraulic components as
serious burns may occur.
• This tractor comes factory equipped with a sealed "maintenance free" battery. Do
not endeavor to service the battery.
• When connecting or disconnecting battery cables, always first remove the cable on
the negative terminal (-) and when reconnecting, replace it last. This will prevent
sparks from accidental grounding.
• PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS. Do not smoke near the battery. Fumes from
batteries are explosive. Keep away from all sparks, open flames etc... Remove
bracelets; watch bands etc. prior to installing, removing or servicing a battery. Do
not short the battery terminals.
• AVOID ACID BURNS. The battery acid is poisonous and is strong enough to burn
skin, eat holes in clothing and cause blindness if splashed in the eyes. If battery
acid is spilled or splashed, always immediately wash your skin and clothing. Apply
lime or baking soda to help neutralize the acid. Seek medical assistance.
