MAINTENANCE SAFETY
In general
– Maintain machine according to manufacturer's
schedule and instructions for maximum safety
and best results.
– Park machine on level ground.
– Never allow untrained personnel to service ma-
chine.
– Adjust or repair only after the engine has been
stopped and the blade has stopped moving.
– Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty.
For best results, always replace with parts
recommended by the manufacturer.
– Do not dismantle the machine without releasing
or restraining forces which may cause parts to
move suddenly.
– Provide adequate support, e.g. jack stands for
lifted machine or parts if working beneath.
– Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating
parts.
– Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.
– Replace faulty mufers.
– To reduce re hazards, keep the engine, muf-
er, and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves,
debris buildup or grease.
Blades
The sod cutter blade is sharp
and can cut. Use extra cau-
tion when handling. Remove
obstructions with care. Wrap
the blade or wear gloves.
– Only replace blade. Never
straighten or weld.
– Keep other persons away from blades.
Fuel
– Gasoline and diesel fuels
are ammable; gasoline
vapors are explosive. Use
extra care when handling.
– Store only in containers
specically designed for fuel.
– When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overll;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors
have cleared.
Sparks from static electricity can start res or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electric-
ity. To prevent static electricity sparks:
– Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not ll
containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed
with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground
away from the vehicle.
– When practical, remove gas powered equip-
ment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the
ground. If equipment must be refueled on the
truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container
rather than a dispenser nozzle.
– Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim
of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open
device.
- Replace caps on fuel cans and tanks securely.

carburetor while the engine is running. Keep hands
and feet clear. Shut off blades.
– When working underneath lifted parts or machines,
make sure adequate support is provided.
– Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or
restraining forces which can cause parts to move
suddenly.
– Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
– Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
