WARNING: 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. 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. Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal first and the positive last. Reconnect positive first and negative last. Use care when checking blades. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use caution when servicing them. Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld them. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If possible, do not make adjustments with the engine running. Charge batteries in an open well-ventilated area, away from spark and flames. Unplug charger before connecting or disconnecting from battery. Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools. Keep all parts in good working condition and all hardware tightened. Replace all worn or damaged decals. MOWER SAFETY This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death. Read and understand all precautions found in the operator's manual before operating the Ariens mower. This equipment must only be operated by those who have been trained in its safe use. In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, a machine should never be operated without the safety shields installed. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace shield prior to machine operation. WARNING: DO NOT remove or obscure DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION or Instruction Decals. Replace any decals that are not readable or are missing. Replacement decals are available from your dealer. The location of these Safety Decals is illustrated in figure 2. GENERAL SAFETY RULES This manual must be made available to the operator of the Ariens mower at all times. Read this manual carefully and learn how to use the machine correctly. Become familiar with all machine controls and how to stop the machine and the implements or attachments quickly. Beware of bystanders, particularly children! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to start the engine or move the power unit. This is particularly important with higher noise levels as you may not hear people shouting. Keep Off Only allow the operator on the machine. Do not carry passengers. This mower is designed for one (1) person, the driver. Riders on the machine could be struck by foreign objects or thrown off the machine causing serious injury. Riders obstruct the operator's view which results in the machine being operated in a manner which is unsafe. DO NOT carry passengers anywhere on the power unit or on any implement or attachment connected to, or installed on the power unit. Before Operation Pay special attention to the warning, caution and danger labels on the machine. Do not use starting fluid. Use of starting fluid could damage engine components. Check the brakes and other mechanical parts for correct adjustment and wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly. Check the torque on all hardware regularly. GB - 8
