• Do not touch parts which may be hot from operation. Allow them to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.

safely maneuver the product.
• Before removing a stump, have the area marked for underground utilities, and do not
dig in marked areas.

these areas.

the area, do not operate the machine; seek shelter.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and accidents, which can result in
severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.
• Do not operate the unit on hillsides or slopes exceeding 10 degrees.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the work area. Watch for
holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven terrain could overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
• Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in
direction.
• Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The unit could suddenly
turn over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
• Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

Maintenance and Storage

• Set the parking brake, stop the engine. Wait for all movement to stop before
adjusting, cleaning, or repairing.
• Clean debris from unit, drives, mufflers, and engine to help prevent fires. Clean up
oil or fuel spillage.
• Let the engine cool before storing and do not store near flame.
• Do not store fuel near flames or drain indoors.
• Park the machine on level ground. Never allow untrained personnel to service the
machine.
• Carefully release pressure from components with stored energy.
• Remove the spark plug wire before making any repairs
• Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments
with the engine running.
• Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened. Replace all
worn or damaged decals.
