I. FOR SAFE OPERATION
17
FIG. 11
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 vapour.
9.9. Before servicing the lawn mower, be sure to
move 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 lawn 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 tire, chock other tires and sup-
port the lawn mower securely. When installing
tires, be sure to tighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torque. Loose nuts may cause serious
accidents.
9.13. The mower blades are sharp and can cut you. Wrap
the mower blades or wear leather gloves when you
service them. On the lawn mower with two or more
mower blades, rotating one mower blades may
cause the other mower blades 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.
