SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
BATTERY SAFETY
1. Do not expose the battery to fire or to temperatures over 140º
F (60º C). Doing so could cause an explosion.
2. Handle battery with care. Do not short the battery with
conductive materials, such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc.
Shorting the battery may cause personal injury, damage to
the battery or a fire.
3. Do not attempt to charge a cracked or damaged battery.
4. Do not use or charge a wet battery or a battery that shows
any evidence of corrosion.
5. Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Doing so could
result in a fire, explosion or personal injury.
6. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode.
Contact your local authorized service dealer for proper
battery recycling.
7. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conductive materials such as rings, bracelets,
and keys. The battery or conductor may be hot and cause
burns.
WARNING
The battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn
if misused. Do not disassemble, overheat or incinerate
the battery.
Leakage from the battery may occur under extreme
usage, charging or temperature conditions or if the
battery is damaged, crushed or punctured. This leakage
indicates a failure of the battery and the battery should
be properly disposed of by an authorized service dealer.
If the battery leakage gets on your skin or eyes, follow
these steps:
• Immediately wash the skin and flush the eyes with cool
water for at least 20 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention.
• Contents of open battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptom persist, seek medical
attention.
• Ventilate the room and vacate the area if smoke and gases
are present. Gas and smoke in a confined area will present a
potential health risk.
• If the leakage gets on your clothing or shoes, remove, isolate
and wash the contaminated clothing thoroughly.
SLOPE GAUGE (BACK COVER)
WARNING
Slopes are a major factor related to tip-over and roll-over
accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All
slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on the
slope, do not mow it. Do not mow on slopes greater than
15 degrees (25%). Only mow across slopes, never mow up
and down slopes.
USE THE SLOPE GAUGE ON THE BACK COVER AS SHOWN TO
DETERMINE IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Open manual to page and fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole,
building, fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object.
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the
slope.
5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for
safe operation.
