Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from
starting by removing the spark plug cables
from the spark plugs or by removing the
ignition key before making any
adjustments or performing maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Fuel and fuel fumes are poisonous and
extremely flammable. Be especially
cautious when handling fuel, as
carelessness can result in personal
injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for
the purpose.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap and never
fill the fuel tank while the engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
Do not smoke. Do not fill fuel in the
vicinity of sparks or open flames.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the
engine must not be started until the
problem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way
that there is no risk of leaking fuel or fuel
vapor leading to damages.
• Check the fuel level before each use and
leave space for the fuel to expand,
because the heat from the engine and
the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to
expand and overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If you spill fuel on the
machine, wipe up the spill and wait until it
has evaporated before starting the
engine. If you have spilled fuel on your
clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before taking
any actions in the engine compartment.
• Be very careful when handling battery
acid. Acid on skin can cause serious
corrosive burns. If you spill battery acid
on your skin, rinse immediately with
water.
WARNING!
The engine must not be started when the driver’s floor plate or any protective plate
for the mower deck’s drive belt is removed.
