I. FOR SAFE OPERATION

9.13. The cutting means(s) are sharp and can cut you.
Wrap the cutting means(s) or wear leather gloves
when you service them. On the lawn mower with
two or more cutting means, rotating one cutting
means may cause the other cutting means(s)
to rotate.
9.14. Never step on the mower deck, or the mower
deck may be damaged or deformed, which may
lead to breakdown or accidents.
9.15. A first aid kit and a fire extinguisher should be
kept in a place always in instant access.
9.16. On the lawn mowers with hydraulic devices, hy-
draulic fluid escaping under pressure can pen-
etrate and seriously damage the skin, requiring
immediate medical assistance. Do not use your
hand to check for a hydraulic leak; use a piece of
cardboard. Be sure to consult your dealer about
the hydraulic and fuel injection system troubles.
9.17. If any hydraulic fluid is injected accidentally into
the skin, it must be removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
9.18. Never allow grass or leaves to accumulate
around heated parts such as the engine and the
muffler, or this may cause a fire.
9.19. Replace any worn or damaged parts with the
manufacturer’s recommended parts.
9.20. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, muf-
fler (silencer), battery area, and fuel storage area
free of debris.
9.21. If fuel has to be drained, this should be done out-
doors.
9.22. Check the brake(s) on the lawn mower frequently
and adjust and service the brake(s) as required.
9.23. Replace faulty mufflers (silencers).
9.24. Do not change the engine governor settings
or overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at
an excessive speed can increase the risk of per-
sonal injury.
9.25. The grass catcher components are subject to
wear and damage, exposing you to moving parts
or thrown objects. Frequently check and replace
them with the manufacturer’s recommended parts
when necessary.
