of full bags may cause the mower to tip over.
CLEANING
AND STORAGE
l
Leaves, grass clippings,
oil and other combustible
materials can become
a fire hazard. Be sure to keep the engine compartment,
the upper cutter
deck surfaces
and the belt and pulley areas clean.
l
Stop
the engine
before
removing
the grass bags or cleaning
the
discharge
chute.
l
Check the condition
of the grass catcher bags frequently.
For your safe-
ty, replace any bag that is worn on deteriorated.
l
Always
empty
the grass catcher
bags when
mowing
is completed.
Damp, decomposing
grass clippings
generate
heat and can become a
fire hazard.
l
To reduce the possibility
of fire, allow the engine and exhaust system to
cool before storing the mower in an enclosed space or near combustible
materials.
