9. LAWN MOWER MAINTENANCE:
9.1. Never start the engine in a closed place. Exhaust
fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide, so
sufficient ventilation should be provided when
starting the engine indoors.
9.2. Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when
servicing the lawn mower.
9.3. When servicing the lawn mower or mounting or
dismounting the mower deck, place the lawn
mower on level, hard ground.
9.4. Service the lawn mower in a place sufficiently il-
luminated, or darkness may cause unexpected
accidents.
9.5. Do not adjust or repair the lawn mower while the
engine is running.
9.6. When servicing the lawn mower or mounting or
dismounting the mower deck, stop the engine and
remove the key (if applicable) to prevent some-
one from accidentally starting the engine and ap-
ply the parking brakes.
9.7. The engine, muffler, radiator, etc. are very hot just
after operation, so wait until those heated parts
cool down sufficiently to avoid burns.
9.8. Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
hot or running. Wait until the engine cools down
and then relieve the radiator pressure by releas-
ing the radiator cap. Carelessly pouring cooling
water into the heated radiator can cause serious
damage to the radiator and the engine. Careless
removal of the radiator cap can cause serious in-
jury because of superheated water vapor.
9.9. Before servicing the lawn mower, be sure to shift
the PTO lever to the OFF position and make sure
that the mower blades have stopped completely.
Rotating blades may cause serious accidents.
9.10. While adjusting the front mower, keep your fin-
gers away from all pinch points.
9.11. When servicing the lawn mower, use proper tools.
Using makeshift tools may lead to injuries or poor
service, which may result in unexpected acci-
dents during operation.
9.12. When removing a tyre, chock other tyres and
support the lawn mower securely. When install-
ing tyres, be sure to tighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque. Loose nuts may cause serious
accidents.
