If you strike an object, or if equipment vibrates abnormally, stop engine at once, disengage PTO, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key. Check for any damage or loose parts. Repair before restart.

Before starting engine: disengage PTO and place unit in neutral.

DO NOT operate at too fast a rate. DO NOT change engine governor settings or over-speed engine. Slow down and turn corners slowly.

Disengage PTO when attachment is not in use. ALWAYS turn off power to attachment when travelling, crossing driveways, etc.

NEVER fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot from operation.

NEVER fill or drain fuel tank indoors.

Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled fuel.

Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

NEVER store fuel inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

HYDRAULIC FLUID can result in severe burns. Fluid in hydraulic system can penetrate skin and result in serious injury or death.

• Be sure to stop the engine before doing any work on hydraulic parts.

• Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles which expel hydraulic fluid when under pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.

6

• Ensure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to system.

• FOREIGN FLUID INJECTED INTO BODY can result in gangrene. Fluid must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury.

Before making any inspections, repairs, etc.: disengage PTO, stop unit and engine, remove key, allow moving parts to stop.

Allow hot parts to cool.

ALWAYS block wheels, engage parking brake and know all jack stands are strong, secure and will hold weight of unit during maintenance.

An extension spring, when extended, stores energy and can be dangerous. Always use tools specifically designed for installing or removing an extension spring. Always compress or extend springs slowly.

ALWAYS maintain unit in safe operating condition. Damaged or worn out muffler can cause fire or explosion.

Keep hardware, especially blade attachment bolts, tight.

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

For unit storage or extended storage:

• NEVER store with fuel in fuel tank, inside a building where any ignition sources are present.

• Allow engine to cool completely.Use only attachments or accessories designed for your unit and that can be used safely on your terrain.

Check attachment components frequently. If worn or damaged, replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts.

To reduce fire hazard and overheating, keep equipment free of grass, leaves, debris or excessive lubricants.

Use extra care with grass catchers and other attachments. These can change the stability of the unit. Use only approved hitch points.

ALWAYS be aware of attachments when turning. ALWAYS allow adequate clearance between attachments, personnel, and other objects.

Gravely does not recommend the use of a Sulky with this unit.
