9.11. When servicing the front mower, use proper tools.
Using makeshift tools may lead to injuries or poor
service, which may result in unexpected accidents
during operation.
9.12. When removing a tire, chock other tires and support
the front mower securely. When installing tires, be
sure to tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque. Loose nuts may cause serious accidents.
9.13. When raising up the mower deck for service, raise
up it fully and apply the lift lock of hydraulic cylinder
to avoid lowering.
9.14. 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 front mower with two
or more cutting means, rotating one cutting means
may cause the other cutting means(s) to rotate.
9.15. Never step on the mower deck, or the mower deck
may be damaged or deformed, which may lead to
breakdown or accidents.
9.16. A first aid kit and a fire extinguisher should be kept
in a place always in instant access.
9.17. On the front mowers with hydraulic devices, hydrau-
lic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate 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.
9.18. 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.
9.19. Never allow grass or leaves to accumulate around
heated parts such as the engine and the muffler, or
this may cause a fire.
9.20. Replace any worn or damaged parts with the manu-
facturer’s recommended parts.
9.21. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler
(silencer), battery area, and fuel storage area free of
debris.
9.22. If fuel has to be drained, this should be done out-
doors.
9.23. Check the brake(s) on the front mower frequently
and adjust and service the brake(s) as required.
9.24. Replace faulty mufflers (silencers).
