SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 gasoline on
the machine, wipe up the spill and wait
until it has evaporated before starting the
engine. If you have spilled gasoline on
your clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before taking
any actions in the engine room.
• 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.
• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness,
contact a doctor immediately.
• Be careful when servicing the battery.
Explosive gases form in the battery. Never
perform maintenance on the battery when
smoking or near open flames or sparks.
The battery can explode and cause
serious injury/damage.
• Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments,
are properly tightened and that the
equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check
regularly to be sure it works properly. The
machine must not be driven with
defective or unmounted protective plates,
protective cowlings, safety switches, or
other protective devices.
• Do not change the settings of governors
and avoid running the engine with overly
high engine speeds. If you run the
engine too fast, you risk damaging the
machine components.
