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

and panels in good repair, in place and
securely fastened. NEVER modify or remove
safety devices.
DO NOT change engine governor settings or
over-speed engine.
Fumes from engine exhaust can cause injury
or death. DO NOT run engine in an enclosed
area. Always provide good ventilation.
ALWAYS maintain unit in safe operating
condition. Damaged or worn out muffler can
cause fire or explosion.
Stop and inspect equipment if you strike an
object or if there is an unusual vibration.
Repair, if necessary, before restarting. Never
make adjustments or repairs with the engine
running.
Mower blades are sharp and can cut you.
Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and use
extra caution when servicing them. NEVER
weld or straighten mower blades.
Rotation of one blade may cause rotation of
the other blades.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses and protective
gear near battery.
DO NOT TIP battery beyond a 45˚ angle in any
direction.
ALWAYS keep batteries out of reach of
children.
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.
Reverse connections may result in sparks
which can cause serious injury. Always
connect positive (+) lead of charger to positive
(+) terminal, and negative (-) lead to negative
(-) terminal.
ALWAYS disconnect negative (-) cable FIRST
and positive (+) cable SECOND. ALWAYS
connect positive (+) cable FIRST, and negative
(-) cable SECOND.
Stored energy in springs can cause injury.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction
labels, as necessary.

LIMITATION OF REMEDY AND DAMAGES
DISCLAIMER OF FURTHER WARRANTY
Gravely’s liability under this express warranty, and under any
implied warranty that may exist, is limited to repair or
replacement of any defective part. Gravely shall not be liable
for incidental, special, or consequential damages (including
lost profits). Some states do not allow the exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply to you.
Gravely makes no warranty, express or implied,
other than what is expressly made in this
warranty. If the law of your state provides that
an implied warranty of merchantability, or an
implied warranty of fitness for particular
purpose, or any other implied warranty, applies
to Gravely, then any such implied warranty is
limited to the duration of this warranty. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
