Use care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may
obscure vision.
Do not take your eyes off the road ahead. Do
not operate the machine with no hands.
Reduce the throttle setting during engine
run-out and, if the engine is provided with a
shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the
conclusion of operation.
Maintenance and storage
Disengage drives on level ground,
disengage the cutting unit, set parking brake,
stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire.
Wait for all movement to stop before
adjusting, cleaning or repairing.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer/muffler, compartment fuel storage
area, cutting unit and drives free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease. Clean up oil or
fuel spillage.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
Only cover the machine with a sheet after
hot parts have sufficiently cooled down.
Never store the equipment with fuel in the
tank inside a building where fumes may
reach an open flame or spark.
If the engine is provided with a shut-off
valve, shut off valve while storing or
transporting.
Do not store fuel near flames.
Never allow untrained personnel to service
machine.
Allow the engine/muffler to cool before
checking/maintenance.
Appropriately manage and correctly use the
tools necessary for servicing or adjusting the
machine.
Use jack stands to support components
when required.
Carefully release pressure from components
with stored energy.
Make sure that parts such as wires are not
touching each other and that their covers
have not come off.
Use care when checking the cylinders/reels
and bed knifes.
Wear gloves and use caution when
seruicing them.
